What i don't understand is why people wait in long lines when the odds are so high. I buy a few tickets every week and have only hit 1 out of 5 and the mega number. That only pays 2 bucks. However, I have hit prizes of 250, 200, 80 and a couple of 50's on scratcher tickets. On monday, I watched someone bring in 200 tickets to be checked. That $200 investment turned to $37.00. I only play for the right to a fantasy every wed and sat nights.
