Some lottery oddities:
- every day this old woman comes in and drops close to $80 on Instant Cash-For-Life tickets. She's spending over $500 a week on the slim chance of winning $1000 a week.
- one guy spends $20 on 649 tickets every draw, all on the same set of numbers (10 sets). When asked about this, he replied "this way when I do win, I'll win 10 times the jackpot"
- Ontario has a lottery called "Payday". It costs half as much as a Cash-For-Life ticket and the odds are much better for the exact same prize
