Not everyone buying a lottery ticket is "bad at math" expecting to win. I sure as hell don't.

So they're just voluntarily throwing money away?

If I have a buck to spare, I  might buy a lottery ticket, but I'm not expecting to win. Worst case scenario: I'm out of a buck. Not exactly tragic.

So, you have money, and you throw it away on something you know will almost certianly yield no value. I'd say that's bad at math. I supported TN getting the lottery a few years back, but have come to change my mind on the subject.

Well if not spent on the lottery ticket it'd most likely end up in a stripper's G-string. Not sure which you'd consider better.

Not where I would have spent the dollar, but that's irrealavant. It was your dollar. You got what you wanted from it. With the lottery, you get nothing. In short:
