But plenty of Floridians are still more eager for free gas than for the $250,000 jackpot. “If gas keeps going up and up—and I expect it will—then I’d rather have free gas for life,” said one. And while not everyone is flouting logic and math, ticket sales have been steadily rising since last week. (More lottery stories.)
