LOTTERY

I play da shitcoinz

Yeah I spent $10 on each. I almost never play lottery cause it's just pissing money away, but with these ridiculous jackpots it's kinda fun.

It blows my mind when I see some old fart at the store buying $100 worth of tickets for all different games, with specific numbers selected in advance, and then like 10 different kinds of scratch-offs. Everything they own must be covered with those little shavings from the scratchers.

The lottery is for people who don't understand math.

I have the winning tickets

I got some last week cause the little tamper indicator stripper on the gas pump was broken and I didn't want to deal with the fallout from having my card skimmed so I went inside. I spent $10, my lifetime total on lottery tickets is still well under $100. In general I don't buy them but when they get up over 500 million or so I have a few times. I didn't win, and its unlikely I'll buy more.

While in line, there were several folks who appeared to be spending the last of their paychecks on lotto tickets. As in they bought cigarettes or whatever other essentials they needed and then did a second transaction to spend their remaining money on tickets. Seriously, 3 in a row in line ahead of me did the exact same thing. The guy behind me laughed because I tried to pay for my tickets with a credit card, not knowing that was against the rules. He's like, "yeah, its such bullshit ain't it man, if I win I can totally pay off my card"

It was a little fun, doing the math to estimate the lump some payment and then taxes and figuring out how to blow the rest.

It's even more fun doing the math and realizing that your chances of being hit by lightning, twice, are still higher than hitting the jackpot.

^ ahh but winning the jackpot has got to be much more fun than getting struck by lightning

I actually won $4 bucks on last week's MegaMillion drawing. Put it toward a few more tickets for the new and bigger prize this week. Yeah... playin' with house money now!

The Powerball and mega millions are an idiot tax. The odds having the jackpot numbers are hundreds of millions against you.

But with that kind of jackpot money, you just have to play. I am.

My co-worker pool and I played. We won $4 from Mega millions yesterday!
