Maybe because the lower payouts are more frequent than the big  
ones? ..and they want to experience more frequent wins?  The  
person who told me about her 6-digit winnings was not aware  
that it would impact her existing gov't handhouts.

So..  you got ANY $s in such investments?  They say even a low  
$100 every now and then is enough to get started.
