You think you're paying your dollar for a chance at the $6.2 million jackpot on Saturday, but really you're paying for the pleasure of the car ride home, deciding which credit card to pay off first and where your kid will suddenly be able to go to college.

About This Quote

The phrase is a reference to the United States Powerball lottery, which is played in 44 states. The Powerball jackpot starts at an average of $40 million and is set to rise to $620 million on March 29, 2015, the day before the drawing for this year's prize. The lottery ticket purchaser will ultimately have to decide whether they want to pay the maximum amount of $2.00 for a single draw or whether they want to buy five additional tickets instead, at a cost of $1.50 each. If you choose the latter option, you'll increase your chances of winning by one percent (from 1 in 292 to 1 in 292,427).
