  A valid response has been ommitted: I would spend NO money.

  The Hoosier Lotto jackpot is slowly and steadily approaching a mathematically impossible fifty million dollars, and I can state with a clear conscience that not even one of those dollars is mine. I simply refuse to play a game I KNOW I can't win. Indiana players stand a better chance of hitting four numbers in the PowerBall game than we do of hitting a Hoosier Lottery Daily-3 box bet.

Come, Pinky; we must prepare for tomorrow night...

i still think the computers pick the numbers that not many people have,then they let those balls roll out,from a secret area underneith otherwise,you'd have like 50 winners in a big 300 million lottery drawing.

That's absurd. What does that change?

The lottery would benefit from that.

What is your conceptual continuity?
