Old People and the Get-Rich-Quick Syndrome.


What is it with all those old people 
who are displaying too much desperation for money?
Each time I walk into a grocery store lately,
I often notice a lot of old people buying lottery tickets.
Just this morning alone, 
I saw them all on a line opposite the lottery machine.
One old woman bought 
a whopping $170 worth of lottery tickets!
And I thought...
with that tidy sum of money,
she could have done something better for herself.
Besides that...
I wonder why anyone would be so desperate 
to get-rich-quick at that age anyway?
