Lotto fever

In California there are two Lottos: Mega Millions (multi-state) and Super Lotto (CA only), the jackpot are now $355M and $57M respectively. It's getting big enough that your's truly have to buy some tickets. Generally buying lottery tickets is a "foolish investment", however when the jackpot is bigger than the odds for winning then it's a "fair gamble". For Mega Millions the odds of winning is 171M to 1, jackpot is $355M, so you're getting better returns for your bet. The odds for Super Lotto is 41M to 1, the current jackpot $57M.
Of course, all of this is just an attempt to rationalize buying Lotto tickets. Good luck to me.

Follow up on the previous post, all this exercising is causing my body to be sore all over. This is one reason why it has been very difficult for me to get into a serious exercise regiment. It's literally a "pain in the ass" to get started. Let's see if I can keep it up for a week, may be after that it will be easier.
