Ten Bucks!

Well, actually $7.00. A couple of weeks back, when the Mega Millions game got up to $122,000,000 jackpot, I decided to play. For my $3 ticket, it looks like I grossed $10. I think this is the first time I've won more than the cost of the ticket. A friend of mine describes lotteries as "a tax on the stupid." I know he's right, but when the payout gets big enough on these progressive games, I like to play. With about $80 million representing the break even point, I don't feel too bad playing, even if the tax man will get half.
