I want be get rich fast. I sound greedy but I dont want to live my life worrying about money. I thought about buying lottery scratchers and take my chances. Is it wise to be gambling on the slim chance of winning the big bucks? Also, why are white people always winning the loto?

Why don't you aim for something more attainable like extra income from things like youtube or twitch? Then look into investing and eBay flipping? Learn some new skills before donating money to the lotteey
If you're 100% sure you want to do this via gambling. I suggest casinos over scratch cards. At least with craps or 21, you have SOME type of influence, as opposed to none on scratchoffs.

I wouldn't recommend it. You'll blow throw money pretty quick.
I work at a gas station, I stand there and watch people feed money into the machine all day
>regular named Chris
>in the store everyday, sometimes for over an hour
>plays scratchers all day
>can spend well over a hundred dollars at our store
>apparently plays at other stores in roughly the same way
>has won some big prizes including one million dollars
>came out of retirement because he used all his money playing scratchers
Like a lot of people that can't stop playing these shits, he has a strategy and a system and useless shit to look out for with a lot of anecdotal stories. He likes to brag that just at our store he's bought enough scratchers to buy the machine up to four times.
I also like it when one of the big lotteries starts to get attention
>people come in and play up to $100 on a lottery
>come back the following week to see if they won anything
>$14
Sounds like they're gonna get rich soon

My step-dad has played the Powerball every drawing since before I knew him, so fifteen years, at least.
Last October he sat me down on the couch. "Last night I won the Powerball."
Yeah, in a dream... "Oh really?"
"Listen: I actually won. Not the jackpot, but I won. Really."
"Okay..."
"I got the powerball, and four out of the five numbers."
"Holy shit."
"Yeah."
"So how much is that?"
"$50k"
"...That's all?"
"That was my reaction, too."
He really did win. I watched him check the ticket at the gas station he bought it at. It said, "Report to Lottery Office." It was very surreal.
He still plays every drawing.
Used to work in a gas station as a manager and I had one customer in particular who would buy a 300 book of scratchers once a week. He averaged about 100 in winnings for every 300 spent.

Yeah but all the money he spent playing could have been put somewhere and he could have gotten to 50k without the taxes being taken out on it... So is it really worth it

>"$50k"
>"...That's all?"
>"That was my reaction, too."
I would think your step-dad would win millions also, lmao. 50k for 4/5 numbers? Dafuq? still a good win though.

I think he keeps playing because he thinks he's lucky. Maybe he thinks he could be winning more. I think that's why people play lotto to begin with, they have hope that they'll win big.

You statistically have a better chance of being struck by lightning TWICE than of winning the lottery once.
The lottery is a repressive tax on the desperation of the poor.
As to your second question, in most countries with lotteries there are more white people than any others. Simple statistics says there will be more white winners.
Both your questions suggest an incomplete mastery of basic mathematics.

I asked a question, I didnt ask of you to be a smartass did I, Jimmy?
