It's funny how the belief that you will win one day is enough to keep people playing or investing money on lotteries. I too have played lotteries, not consistently I might add. I have won small money on all of them. I would say that I have not poured hundreds into playing so I mostly play back the lotteries money. I usually either win back more than I have played or will win a free ticket so I never really lose. If you ask me, it's probably better to buy your favorite rap music iTunes 'cause at least you have something tangible that you can enjoy.
