yes, Max has a point. some people don't gamble for religious reasons and many other reasons. Others like me, don't buy lottery tickets even when the jackpot is to 15 or 20 million.. because we are too cheap.

what is the saying? Lottery are special tax for those who are to stupid to learn math? or something of that sort...

but lets get back to --whence sweepstake? and while we at it, why are some races steeplechases, (i know they are demanding overland races with lots of jumps, and puddles, and all sort of other interesting obsticles.. but why a steeplechase?) and the winnings? why are the winning a jackpot ?


my other obsession
