There is one circumstance where I think buying a lottery ticket is worthwhile: your work colleagues have a lottery ticket pool. Not because it has a better chance of winning, but as insurance against the case that it does so you're not the one person who has to show up to work the next day.

There is a social part of buying a lottery ticket as a group, like splitting a meal at a restaurant.
