Disclaimer: You'll likely just lose your money.

Run python tn_lottery/simulation.py. Currently, this just simulates playing the powerball, with the following assumptions:

• You are an immortal playing the TN powerball every chance you get. (2-times a week; powerball is Wed & Sat)
• You play 5 sets of numbers for $2 each ($10 / ticket)
• You only "win" if you hit the jackpot (5 numbers match + the powerball number)

The simulation runs until we hit the jackpot or kill it with Ctrl-C. It'll periodically print the number of years you've played and the amount of money spent playing.
