So last night, I finally bought a $20 “Star Spangled Sweepstakes” ticket, the Mass. Lottery’s most recent opportunity for instant wealth or self-delusional scam, depending on your point of view.
There haven’t been any winners yet on the Cape, so if the law of random numbers applies, maybe there’s a better than average chance at either the daily or final Fourth of July drawing.
The Lottery claims it’s distributing $40 million in prizes, ranging from $250,000 to $20 million. You can’t win if you don’t play.
