Speaking of logic in gambling, I ain't no gambler but here's my logic -
The chances of me winning a MegaMillions/Powerball Jackpot -
If I don't have a ticket, its zero.If I have one ticket ($1.00), its 1 in a N (10, 100, 1000?) million. That's significant compared to the one above.If I have 10 tickets ($10.00), its still (N million / 10), nothing significant from the one above, but costs me 10 times more. So, I buy just one ticket. And I restrict myself to buy it only when its a high roller, not everyday.
Logical enough, right?
