No it doesn't.

You can also think of it as an investment.
There is a difference between an investment, and speculating.

Default Thinking it out

So much has been placed on why you should not play the lottery due to odds. Instead of odds, how about "What makes it so hard to win?" My key philosphy in life: Observation. Anything can be solved through Observation. Which makes me question if the lotteries are controlling the numbers. If you buy quick picks only you give full control to the lottery. I feel everyone should pick there own numbers to play, otherwise your just waiting for the lottery to say yes or no to you winning. If everyone picked there own numbers that would throw there system into chaos there by giving more winners. Is it fate or accident that there are only 9-12 jackpot winners a year? What are the odds of that? Powerball says they use a drum and ball system, but my observation shows they are using a RNG( Random Number Generator) better knowen as a computer. If this was a honest game there would be more winners.
