I have never bought a Lottery ticket on principle. It this corrupt country the "charitable" funds are largely distributed to front and/or fictional charities. Then, with 7 numbers, the odds are about 1 in 4m of winning yet they regularly come up with several winners when only 20m tickets are sold. In my mind the "winning" tickets are created after the draw is completed. Many have complained & pointed out these irregularities but nothing is investigated or done & the gravy train rolls on.

Well, I suppose it was lucky in a way yet, the more you shoot, the luckier you get! 
Presumably you went out & bought a Lotto ticket?

With catching photos of meteors that’s true, the lottery however is just a tax 
on people who can’t do math.

That rather depends on what happens to the profits. In the UK the National 
Lottery funds a large number of causes that I consider to be good ones, so I 
buy a ticket every week by direct debit, not in the expectation of winning many 
tons of money that I wouldn’t know what to do with, but because it’s another 
way to support these things, and I get the occasional thrill of winning a small 
amount of money - £60- being the most so far, although I do know some who has 
won tens of thousands, and deserved it.
