How to win the lottery without really trying

Unfortunately, my current retirement plan involves winning the lottery. (My previous one involved a sugar mama.) Equally unfortunately, I've never bought a lottery ticket. I've probably played about ten scratch off tickets in my life, and won nothing. So... Does this make my odds of winning the lottery greater or lesser?

It's become clear to me that the path to riches doesn't seem to include working at a non-profit in education. Who knew?

So I need a knew plan. Possibly I should rob banks? There are enough tall, skinny people with glasses around, maybe they'd never find me. Maybe I should become a politician. That seems to be the first step to becoming a dirty politician, and all the graft that goes along with that. Hey, it worked for Dick Cheney, didn't it? I could invent the next pet rock, but that would require at least the slightest bit of creativity, and quite frankly, I'm fresh out.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm willing to share a significant (say.. 3%?) percentage of value for anyone who can make me unimaginably wealthy, so I can just spend my days lounging in the Caribbean with no plans that don't involve umbrella drinks.

Anyone?

I was actually thinking about going with the old pizza delivery boy routine.

Double Anchovies anyone?
