Well that would be terrible. Of course you probably won't have to drive anywhere, and even if you do win you'll probably be able to just drive to the nearest MA retailer.
I've got a MA MM ticket from June in my wallet, and it's worth a whole dollar. I'm certainly not going to make a special trip, but I'll be over there for one reason or another before it expires next June.

Yes, you are correct. Most tickets are losing tickets. This goes without saying, most people realize this factor when buying a ticket. But it is that ONE ticket with possibilities, and that ticket can belong to anyone... anyone who buys a ticket, that is.
"In-every-day-life- ...we-would-NEVER-make-such-bad-investments". No, no we wouldn't. However, life isn't always about being prudent. If yours is, I am sorry you are not experiencing anything outside of the realm of affordability, including daydreams. It is better to have an illusion of grandeur than no dream at all, at least in my humble opinion.

I just checked my ticket Floyd......
You were right. I won't be driving anywhere.
Then again, I might take a drive someplace today, but I won't be taking that ticket along with me. G5
