I probably buy 2-3 tickets per year, and only when the jackpot is absurdly high and I happen to be someplace that sells tickets. That's because it's fun to imagine what I'd do with a half billion dollars or whatever. In that case, I buy it where I happen to be when I see the jackpot sign. Most likely it would be at a convenience store I stopped in to buy a gallon of milk or a package store I stopped in to buy some beer. I have never, and will never, go somewhere specifically to buy a ticket.
