There is something about gambling that is extremely appealing to us as humans.
No one has turned in the winning ticket for the 365 MILLION dollar Powerball yet, which makes me wonder about the person who is holding it. Do they know it yet? Are they searching franticly around their house and through all of their clothes to find it? Did he or she accidentally leave the ticket in a pair of pants and throw them in the wash? I just don't get how you buy a ticket hoping to win, and then after all of the media about where the ticket was purchased you can't put 2 in 2 together to realize that oh, I purchased my ticket that I haven't checked yet at that store... I think I have the winning ticket.
One thing I do know is that I had already spent about a few million in my head. I didn't win though. But I think it is that hope, or that vision of what could be that makes us try again. I think that is what makes it fun. Even gambling with different situations in life can be described the same way if you think about it. If you take a risk and leave a job in search of a better opportunity, you can hit the jackpot and make it big, or you can be stuck with a losing ticket in your hand. The most important thing is to keep playing.
