Huh, rather quiet. I dunno, I think it's interesting, and it's fun (in an evil way), to think of the people spending what little extra money they have twice a week trying to cash in, like it's a retirement plan or something. Let's see, I will need to retire in about 20 years, so in order to win the Jackpot once during that span (on average) I'd need to spend a little over $70,000 on each drawing. Hmm, I detect a flaw in this cunning plan... I can only afford $10 a drawing, so I'll win once every... 140 thousand years!
I'm more of a scratch-off man myself
