"...it would be wrong to assume that the secret to success is to play it."

But not playing obviously results in not winning. And in the minds of the lottery-playing population, at least when you play, there's a chance of winning.

Well there's always my plan: wait for some one else to win the lottery and then sue them.

I figure the chances of winning a frivolous lawsuit are huge compared to winning the lottery.

The most likely outcome is losing your money and winning nothing, while there are other ways to make that money which don't involve throwing good after bad.

Any other ideas of making 250MM by investing $1 ? Even if odds are super-low ???

You'd have better odds with committing serious crimes and getting away with it, so there's that. You could take out lightning strike insurance and wait.

Pretty much anything really; the lottery is just a tax on people who can't math.
