Because corporate never pays near what a lottery winner pays. I know it seems trivial, but giving the gubment near half of your winnings sucks. Especially with what gubment does with it. The winner is gonna be very good, but what about someone that worked hard all their life and won one million. Almost half of the to GQP big spenders for their rich buddies sucks. Never played so I will never win anyway.
