Day 3, Entry #5 with Cory Patton discussing the Mega Million jackpot and the pros and cons of the lottery.

Well when I look at it, The hysteria was the brainwashing of society. People where stopping what they where doing just to see the Mega Millions Number. It was everywhere. The media is just a power weapon.  That what makes people want to drive 2 hours, to try to win the “big” bucks. It’s 650+ million dollars. It makes them commited to the mass. If people are  doing it, I’m doing it. People like to be in the in crowd; they stay with the pack.

I’m mean, a few weeks ago, all people talked about was Kony 2012. Then it was switch to Mega Millions. I’m just wondering what the next big craze will be. People don’t care about the lottery now that it’s over. They just know they didn’t win.

I wish Alabama did the lottery. We need that money that we’ve been giving to Geogria. I remember when they first came with the idea. They voted it down. Despite how it would of sent thousands of Alabama high school students to school. Now where just giving Georgia the money when we could be using it ourselves. Way to go, Bama.
