A funny prediciment regarding lottery pools

[Snowball]

Here's a funny prediciment I think we all face at one point or another, to play a in a lottery pool or not to play. Luckily no one will have to face this playing on Snowball

So here’s my current predicament. The office lottery pool is $2. My options are as follows:

1. Just pay the measly $2 and hope they win. The benefits of going down this route are that I don’t look like a cheapskate.
2. No way Jose, I’m not paying $2 because nobody ever wins the lottery. The problem with this approach besides looking like a loser is that if they actually were to win I would look like the biggest fool. You never hear about the office lottery pool with one unlucky person that didn’t play. Do you?
