OT: Powerball

I heard a lottery "expert" say that you increase your chances of winning lotteries if you (1) pick your own numbers and (2) play them for every draw (26 times a year for Mega Millions and Powerball). That would cost $6 a week, or $312 a year. (Mega Millions costs $2 a ticket; Powerball $1 a ticket.) In all likelihood, a player would win $2 here, $4 there, which would reduce the cost.
