Recent studies found out that purchasing lottery tickets in the right way (a consumption good, not an investment) can be a completely rational and correct decision. So while you are still throwing away money when buying a lottery ticket, you are throwing away more in strictly economic terms when you buy an expensive bottle of wine or a luxury car.
Thinking of how would you live your life if you win the high prizes can help you focus on thinking how to improve your life. Of course nobody should spend on lottery tickets money that they can't afford to lose. If you have a gambling problem, it's a terrible idea.
"Fantasizing about what you would do if you suddenly encountered great wealth is fun, and it is more fun if there some chance, however minuscule, that it could happen. The price for a ticket is a relatively small one to pay for the enjoyment of thinking through how you might organize your life differently if you had the prize".
