Thanks to all participated in this, and good luck for those who buy and good promotions for those who don't buy.

Probably, because the entrepreneurial spirit would take over and afford more options.
Yes, I wouldn't quit working, but I would quite my job, they are two different things :-)

Oh and by the way I am not lucky in regards to drawings, lotteries, etc. That is why I rarely participate.
I am lucky in certain day to day activities. For example I walked out of a restaurant one day and found that my tire was flat. Next door was a tire store. I had them come over an fix it. Or I passed out at work at the end of the day on a Friday, and we share our office with Fire and Rescue so within 1 minute I was surrounded by 8 EMT's. If it had happened after I went home, the outcome could have been very serious.
That is where my luck is and I am good with it.
Dinah, statistically no one is lucky, but a handfull hehe, you would know that from your RMP studies ;-)

Then let's say I am blessed, because I had a pulmonary embolism and the fact that I passed out at work and had immediate medical care ensured that I survived.
When bad things happen to me, good things also happen.
Call it what you will, but I am not overthinking it :)

I definitely wouldn't quit my job, but I do like to play the lottery, especially when there are big prizes at stake.
