I'm not against playing the lottery. I played every week. But...am I the only one who thinks playing the Powerball at this level is idiotic?

Why do I say this?

There is no anonymity law to shield you. Everybody and his brother knows what and how much you won. Your life will change forever. No going back. Careful what you wish for.

Your mug will be plastered all over the TV and now, internet. You know how Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan couldn't got to the mall, out to eat, pretty much anything? That's going to be you.

And look at all the stories about all the lottery winners who blew it all. You say it won't be you, but.... I'm sure they all said it.

I'm not against playing the lottery. I play the Classic Lotto every week. But the money there is not insane. And you get to hide behind the Michigan anonymity provision.
