Yes, I bought some MegaMillions lottery tickets -- $5 worth.
Yes, I know I could have done something worthwhile with that money.
Yes, I understand that my chance of winning is 1 in 176 million.
Or, make that, yes, I understand that my chance of winning is .00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 to the billionth nth.
But.
640 million fucking dollars.
Surely even an infinitesimal chance of winning that much money is worth a little bit of foolishness.
If I win, I'm hosting an all-expenses-paid Fangirl Gathering. In the Caribbean. Get your passports ready.
And I'm going to retire.

And wow, in Canada, the biggest lottery is capped at 50 million (although lottery winnings aren't taxed here, at least). Admittedly, I'm a regular buyer of lottery tickets. It's cheaper than drinking, and I get a week of fantasizing in return.

If I win, I'm buying a house in Golden Oak and will live a Disney life. WHEEEEEE!!!!
This is after I pay off my car. And buy everything on my Amazon.com wishlist.
Honestly, I don't need much. Just ALL THE BOOKS. And a house in Golden Oak.
