Is the dream worth a dollar?

The Power Ball lottery jackpot is at record levels. I was reading reports today online about people lining up to buy a ticket with the hopes of winning $340 million dollars.

Now that's a lot of money.

What I don't understand is the people who think it's worth a buck for a chance to win $340 million but $50 million or even one million, that's not worth a buck for a chance to win.

While there's a big difference between one million and 50 million, when it comes to the average person, 50 million and 340 million, is there really much of a difference?

Some say the dream of what you would do if you won is worth the price of the ticket. I'm not so sure. I have dreams and I dream everyday...and it doesn't cost any money at all.
