Mega millions is that high apparently, i for one will be going to get myself a ticket. A few weeks ago, i got two fortunes in one fortune cookie that said "There are riches headed your way" and "Financial prosperity is coming your way" so i figured i might as well get one right? inb4 kids not old enough to play.

calling it a chance is a fucking joke.


There's a chance I'll walk to the store and find a duffel bag with 50 grand cash in it. But that's never going to happen.

if the enjoyment of playing outweighs whatever you would have spent that dollar on then it was worth it.

I have only played the lotto twice in my life (including this time), and each time I went to the bar and watched the numbers get drawn with everyone else, and had a hell of a fun time doing it.

I don't get people that are so fucking down on gambling at that level, its like some sort of religious fervor. The people buying multiple tickets and doing research and spending all the time in the world dreaming how the money will be spent are the schlumps. Not me.

Damn

I don't think you get it. Most people that only do it "occasionally" Are spending 10+ a week at the very least, shit adds up.


And it's retarded. I mean, put a 1 dollar bill in the microwave and see if it turns into a 100.


Do what you want, it's just a waste of money.

stop caring so much about what other people do with their money.

it might be a waste of money (especially if your addicted to it) i've prob played 5ish times in my life, but buying that ticket means I have the slightest chance to win, it's a better chance than you have. you gotta play to win and to me the excitement leading up to it is worth 100 cents

drugs are a waste of money, snowboardings a waste of money...I mean you can make a lot of cases for whats a waste of money. I'm being completely serious.

I'll continue to waste my money every couple of years.

I really couldn't care less. Do what you want with your money.

Spend it on the lotto, hooker, blow. My your mom flowers.

Do whatever. Just saying it's retarded logic for everyone to buy a bunch of tickets because the jackpot is so high.

All I have to say is if anyone here wins the first three things you need to do is make sure they don't use your name in the news, hire a good lawyer, and hire a good financial advisor if you don't already have one. Good luck to all of us who bought tickets may the odds be in our favor and bitches in our fiture

that is def not what you meant I even thought about putting that in as a disclaimer in my first post but you were so far from trying to make that point that I thought it was unnecessary not to mention how incredibly unlikely it is even if that is actually what you were talking about

if that's what you meant then you would have said that....

oh and volunteer to babysit? gee from what i've gathered you guys volunteer on your own in order to achieve a sense of control and power over something meaningless in order to (and here's the kicker) to fulfill an otherwise meaningless life.

but from the other mods that i've met in real life (about 2), they were not douches snd they turned out to do this rarely and to not give a fuck aboot it.

the rest i base it off popular opinion. sorry, lol!

which one are you? have you met me before? are you one of the two? questions sir, questions....

just picked up a couple more tickets, i rarely gamble but for a couple bucks it's worth a chance at a half billion. I hope that no one wins this drawing and it just keeps growing. The cash out deal right now is $500 million after taxes, so insane

picked up a whopping 3 tickets earlier today. somebody's life is about to go from 0-60 immediately, in about 45 minutes, that's for sure. that was a bad sentence. sounded like 60% of the time, everytime. sex panther. i'm losing my train of thought. oh well.
