    We tested an economic theory by trying to buy people's Powerball tickets for much more than they paidpic.twitter.com/QOj3EBbvJa

    We tried to buy people's Powerball tickets for more than they paid
    We went outside and tried to buy lottery tickets from people for more than they paid. The rational choice, in this case, would always be to sell your ticket. But people aren’t known to be rational.

        If I was that dogmatic, I'd say yes, get the money and then try to snap a pic of the ticket.. I'm disappointed in them

        1/2 not irrational at all, the ticket is hope and desire too . rather, buyers are not analytical re ROI in the decision. big difference.

        2/2 a motivating "desire to avoid future regret"? someone wrote the headline first. and a sample of 14? how about "some enjoy lotteries"?
