You pay a dallar, and you get 5 numbers, take a chance, and if you win!!! You get 40% of your earns to state and federal taxes under the gift tax act. Is it worth it?

If you win you still have 60% which is worthwhile. However, the vast majority of folks will be losers. I don't play the lottery myself. The worst thing about winning in my opinion is all of the sudden having so many extra friends and relatives. I have an Uncle who is related to a million dollar lottery winner. They had to move away to avoid all the money grubbers that came out of the woodwork.

If it is a once in a while thing I say it's worth it. For example: my uncle buys all of his family members lottery tickets for Christmas. It's a cheap gift for him, and it is fun for us. However, you have to be careful to not get addicted to them, because many people do.
