Advantages: You could change your life forever

Disadvantages: Statistically you probably have more chance of marrying Rod Stewarts Nan

Is it worth doing the lottery, statistically it isn't you should save that £1 every week and put it in the bank and by the time 10 years have passed you'll have £500.
It doesn't sound that appealing does it, save for 10 long years and you'd have barely enough money for a years gym membership or a one week break in spain. So theres your answer, why do we do the lottery, as an escape as our ticket to luxury, to not having to work, to fulfilling dreams of travel, clothes, experiences, to look after our families and friends, to have the fancy car, the season ticket for your favourite football team, the shopping experience of a lifetime or the holiday of your dreams.
You choose your six numbers and you buy your chance to dream for half an hour, you sit through the dull presenters and b-list celebs hawking their latest reinvention and then eyes down, for 5 minutes your 6 steps away from being a millionaire. Ok so statistically you have a 1 in 13,983,816 chance of winning the jackpot with all 6 numbers, but hey you can dream, and really thats what it's all about isn't it?

Summary: It could be you, it could be me
