 "When people are made to feel subjectively poor, they end 
up buying more lottery tickets which is somewhat perverse since 
every time you buy a lottery ticket, it's the equivalent of 
burning money," said George Loewenstein, a professor at 
<SPAN id="lw_1216998344_0" class="yshortcuts">Carnegie Mellon University</SPAN> in <SPAN id="lw_1216998344_1" class="yshortcuts">Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania</SPAN> who

 In the study people earning less than $100,000 a year, 
which was suggested by the researchers to be a low-income, 
bought 1.27 lottery tickets compared to 0.67 by people who 
earned more.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2F9182D2-3B0F-46BE-BAC5-F456454D779D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
