lottery

One stands a better chance of being struck by lightning multiple times than they do of winning the lottery.

With the odds standing at roughly one and 175 million.

Even in spite of these extremely low odds, however, people continue to spend money on lottery tickets, in the hopes that they might take home the big bucks.

And as they leave the bodega or gas station with their lottery tickets, they contemplate how they'll spend their winnings when they cash in the check.

Some are more practically minded, and plan on either saving the money or putting it to good use.

While others dream much bigger, and plan to spend it all as quickly as possible.
