In some ways, I'm actually a massive fan of the lottery for fastlane purposes; yes, you read that right. Here's why:
Dreams.
Most cube dwellers and professional rat racers don't ever dream anymore. They've become so accustomed to the cage they forget there's the possibility of something else.
By far the best comment I read elsewhere on the web in regards to the recent lottery madness was this:
"I bought my $2 ticket today so I can spend my night dreaming of what I might do... tomorrow I'll go back work, as usual."
Think about that for a minute... would it not be worth $2 for a few people out there to 'invest' in their dream world for a day?
I tend to think so.
Of course, we all know it's a losers game in then end. Those who go spending their entire paychecks are idiots. Those who feel like $2 is a spark in their inner dream flame...Hmm.
What do you think?
Again, we all know we can dream any day, any time. We can step back and focus on what we REALLY want even without spending $2. But, for those who are so severely stuck... I think $2 is a miniature snap of habits, and gets the ball rolling, even if only for a day or two.
We can only hope a few people out there realized they can make their dreams a reality, with or without this absurd amount of money.
