I think for them, it is mostly entertainment. My husband doesn't it at work when there is big payout. Putting in a buck or two every few months can be fun. http://budgetdial.blogspot.com/2006/05/lottery-poll-results.html I also buy my Dad a season ticket for the lottery for gifts. He likes that.

Only they instead bought tickets because "How would I feel if one week I didn't play and my numbers were the winning numbers." Ahh, emotion, the killer of networth :) I’ve met someone like this.
