    My wife always gets mad at me when I leave to buy groceries and come back with lotto tickets instead. No matter how often I explain that if we win the lottery, we’ll be able to buy even more groceries than we could have with the money I spent on the tickets she’s pissed off the kids are hungry now. I’m glad you get where I’m coming from.

      Now just imagine if your grocery choices were either a rock or a pile of poo. Then the lottery is the ticket.
