When we lived in Florida we religiously bought one ticket each week. About half of that dollar went toward prizes, so we figured 50 cents was an actual investment, although a huge longshot. The other 50 cents was entertainment, and that was a bargain. You can get a lot of entertainment thinking what we will do if we win, and checking the numbers. What we could never understand is why anyone would buy more than one ticket. You are still paying 50% of each ticket for an incredibly unlikely chance to win, and it is hard to believe that you actually get twice the entertainment buying two tickets, compared to the entertainment from buying one. It then starts to look like gambling ;-) -- Jan Wilson, SysAdmin _/*]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Corozal Junior College | |:' corozal.com corozal.bz Corozal Town, Belize | /' chetumal.com & linux.bz Reg.
