Why would you ever buy lottery tickets?

Unless you just don't understand math, which I get, math is hard. But still, :psyduck:

Technically when the lottery prize pool breaks a certain point (~260m iirc) then buying a lottery ticket makes mathematical sense (your expected value is positive), which means you should play. Realistically though, you're not going to win.
