Although, there's always the risk that you'll end up giving away a ticket that could be worth thousands, even millions of dollars, and then feel like a fool. In fact, Scott Adams (the guy who does the Dilbert comic) told the story of how his brother bought him (Scott) a lottery ticket, and bought himself (the brother) two tickets with identical numbers.
