Thank you, and don't worry, I haven't given up on that idea!

Interesting about the underwear. And you're right, you don't have to be wealthy to buy some!

As to why we buy the tickets? It reminds me of this little story:
A man prays to God, "Please let me win the lottery!"
Each week he doesn't win and he starts to get angry.
"Please God, let me win the lottery!"
Still he doesn't win.
"Oh God, You know all the good things I would do with the money! Please, one time, let me win!"
God has been listening and finally says to the man, "Help me out, at least buy a ticket!"
