It's a tax on hope.

I buy lottery tickets, erratically, and I do so, not because it's a good idea, but because were the one in a trillion (not a real number) to happen, the result would be so good. And because over the course of my life, the money I'd save by not playing is not significant.

That's pretty much my take on it. I average something like one every 4-6 months - perhaps less.
