People around the country are going crazy with their life savings.

With one of the lotteries now projected to win over $600 Million tonight, people from all over the country are spending like mad trying to win the jackpot.

One Arizona couple, who has already won two much smaller lotteries, spends about $10,000 a year buying more tickets.   It’s nearly 10% of what they make from their previous winnings!

Of course, if you want to spend a couple bucks on the lottery for the fun of it – enjoy.  Just don’t go crazy and start spending money you can’t afford to lose …. the odds are 1 in 175 million that you will win.  A math geek explains the real odds of winning here.
