  hey, i found a way to prolong the lottery ticket purchase high. you know you buy a lottery ticket for the dream. that dream feels good. it's a chance to go from $1.00 to $100,000,000, in one drawing. now, most people who buy the lottery are poor and they buy it for that chance, that dream to become rich. it's a cheap euphoria. it's almost like alcohol or cigarettes. but, at least it isn't damaging to one's health. and, it's only a buck.  and, part of it goes towards education if you live in california. now, since you are putting a buck into this "dream-euphoria" investment, might as well prolong that high right?

  ok, after they draw the winning numbers, usually you go check if you have the winning numbers immediately. you see you don't have the winning numbers and you feel a disappointed, fucked up feeling. the high is gone.

  the solution: just don't check the ticket even after the winning numbers are drawn. leave it be for another month or until the jackpot reaches the threshold in which it makes it worthwhile for you to buy another $1.00 ticket. i usually wait till a jackpot goes above 100m to buy another ticket. this way, you go check your ticket, see it's a fail and then, re-buy for another immediate high.

  the only drawback is that if you really have the winning numbers, you will have spent 2-3 months living your normal lifestyle while you could have been living in a mansion, sittin' on 100m.

  ps: i checked the back of my lottery ticket and it says that it's void after 180 days. mega millions you have up to 1 year. damn, that' a long-term euphoria for 364 days, just for a buck.
