You may have to explain 'parrain'. Not only have I never seen that word before, it isn't close enough to any other word for me to make a pun out of it.
Parrain is god father, I don't know how to spell out how it's pronounced because the 'n' is slightly pronounced but with a nasally sound like pah rah n. Of course that's how it's pronounced where I'm from, if you go to south-central Louisiana it's pronounced pah dahn. Or if you go to some parts of south-eastern Louisiana I've heard it pronounced pah ran with more of an emphasis on the 'n'.
Then again, I don't know what Parrain means in formal French because boops boops pointed out to me that where he's from catin(or katin) which means doll, beautiful, etc. to me means prostitute to him.

My French isn't that good but I happen to have a good French-English Dictionary (Oxford Hachette) which says: .
The dagger symbol means "obsolete", but "strumpet" occurs a lot in Shakespeare so many people recognize it and sometimes use it jokingly. The same dictionary translates Parrain as "godfather" or "sponsor".

With all the Powerball hype out there I should be astonished at the number of people who consider the purchase of lottery tickets to be a sound financial investment.
I should be, but I'm not.

For $2 I think that I'll probably be buying a lottery ticket for the chance to win. That's my "problem" though with lottery. I only play when it gets this ridiculously high and the odds are really against you and I only ever buy 1 ticket. So I should not be surprised that I've never won the millions.
The lottery is nothing more than a voluntary tax on people who suck at math.

That would be more true if the cost was significant. As it is, some people are buying a dream for half the price of a coffee. I won't buy a ticket, though, because I'm pretty darn certain I'd forget to check the outcome.
Not likely. However, he might not have been one person, in effect. There are lots of offices where people pool their money and buy a bunch of tickets. I think that if my office did that I'd probably join up. Not that I have any real interest in it, but it's worth an occasional couple of bucks to avoid being the one guy who gets squat if they actually won. Fortunately, my office does NOT do some office pool thing.

Buying a few tickets or chipping in on the office pool is one thing. Spending $50-100 or more is another. I'm seeing folks on facebook actually bragging about how much they've spent.
And nobody won!
