I have a very dear friend who plays the Tri-State Lottery religiously. Every week at least one ticket. If no one wins that week, the following week he'll buy two tickets. If no one wins again, and the prize continues to increase, each week he will double or triple his purchases. He says he wins roughly 2-3 times a year... but never more than $2 at a time. But that's enough to keep him coming back for more. He figures he spends close to $ $350-$400 a year buying tickets. And wins $2-$4 a year. With the Mob-controled numbers racket, players had a better chance of winning. Perhaps that's why it was outlawed?
