Mostly you're not buying a chance to get rich, you buy yourself permission to dream about the "what if?" until the numbers are drawn.


And you don't need to spend very much money to do that. For example, buying a ticket once per year is sufficient. You can still dream about the win you'll get the next time you buy a ticket.

Group buys add a social context that has significant value too.
