You know the phrase - it's said with some disdain, frustration, disappointment, or dejection.
Well - it happens. My partner Heidi Roizen's assistant (Mary Bush's) father-in-law Chuck Bush just won the $44m California Saturday jackpot ($17m lump sump payment after taxes.) I've never met Chuck, but Mary is awesome and my understanding is that Chuck is too. So - good people do win these things.
The next time someone groans out this phrase, tell them to be optimistic - it could happen (of course, you have to "suit up, show up, and play the game" also, but that's a different metaphor.)

i prefer the related phrase "buying a ticket does not materially increase your chances of winning".
though at the end of the day, given the plethora of progressive taxes, i don't have any problem with a regressive one now and then.
doody!
