My threshold is 100 mill per 1 dollar. (Ie - Megamillions goes 100 mill, I get, Powerball has to his $200 million).

I like buying the daydream, but recognize the lottery is a retrogressive tax on the stupid. I know people who believe the lottery is going to be their retirement plan... and how many people will pay for $20 of scratchoffs and then pull out a NY State benefits card? Infuriates me!
