Indeed that's true and sensible but...
....someone wins a bloody fortune every week.
EDIT: "Someone" meaning "someone else".

I maintain that buying a lottery ticket is rational
The marginal loss of £1 per week is irrelevant given the price of, say, a beer. The marginal benefit of some millions, however, is significant.
Nonetheless, I have never bought a lottery ticket. Go figure.
