The only reason most lottery winners spend it all is because 95% of habitual lottery players are borderline retarded. If you have an IQ over 80 its easy as fuck to hire a financial adviser to invest it and tell you how much you can spend a year.

Fyi, when the jackpot gets super high where the expected value of the ticket is worth more than its cost (if you could buy every number combination to guarantee a win you'd make money), then people of average intelligence start playing for shits.

Poorfags just get really excited about the idea of not being in crippling poverty, and for some reason think there's more of a chance of them winning when the lottery reaches a ridiculous amount. Everyone I work with makes a giant pool of tickets every time something like this happens and they waste all their money.

If you aren't a stupid nigger or a white trash cunt you can invest the shit outta 1mil and by the time you die have even 10mil to then pass down to other family or friends. 1mil can set you for life if you play your cards right.

Honestly 600mil would be fuckin ridiculous, if I managed to get that I'd give each close family and friend 5mil to set up for life, buy the best gaming/streaming pc I could, and be a twitch/youtube streamer for a living (even though I wouldn't need the money, I'd likely just do it to entertain others, and in the case I made it big, I'd donate all the money earned from streaming to charities and/or big sub giveaways)

It's less when you include state taxes, and I'm not sure if the ticket has sales tax on it or not.
Although the chances that 2 people win are negligible if there is no syndicate profiting, there is a chance that a syndicate will jump at the opportunity to make money. (Although I don't know how feasible it is to print all those tickets and I don't know if the profit margin is enough for a syndicate to really go for).
Furthermore, we also forgot to take additional prizes into our calculation, which might affect the odds in your favor a little bit.
My guess is that overall it is slightly unfavorable (mostly due to taxes), but if another winner is not found this Wednesday, it will be favorable.

I would spend the first 20 million in a crusade to piss off every single feminazi that I could find.

I would enjoy as people freak out when I turn them away, because I either have no idea who they are, or insult the women outta my league because they only want money.

You're doing it wrong. Don't intentionally destroy them. Go to game stores and play with them, unsleeved and without a playmat. Choose a clean looking surface to use, but don't ever wipe it down. Only ever riffle shuffle, tapping the edges on the table in between to keep cards lined up. Do all this while otherwise being as gentle and careful with them as possible. You'll get waaaaay more angst out of letting them naturally degrade through normal use than by directly trashing them.

Money can change people including friends and family.

Strangers from your elementary school to high school years could crawl out of the woodwork and make up fabricated drama about you in order to try to sue you.

If you win, it is better to just move away from everything and limit contact with family like don't let your in laws or cousins or your uncles and aunts take advantage of you.

Maybe just only talk to your mom or dad.

Japan is fucking expensive also, youd pay a shit ton more for everything as they have to import a lot of their stuff and land is at a high premium. Its also hard to become a naturalized japanese citizen, even when you marry a japanese citizen its hard.

So its not worth it, much better to go to a 2nd world or even a 3rd world country, your money will go a lot longer. Also going to another country for a while is mostly to not get badgered by people for money.

Only problem is if a bunch of other people also get the winning combo and the jackpot drops.

Once the lotto gets up to 2.5 billion though this might actually be possible for a large tech firm or a bank and worth the risk.

Read the fucking thread.

The payout needs to be like 2b for it to be worth it or something.
>>
>>52356357

haha seems like you don't understand. Since no one has one, all the previous jackpots carry over, so you still have 1 in 292mil odds, no matter what the jackpot is. Sure, more people play this drawing, but still only 1 or 2 people are likely to win. The higher the jackpot, the more and more valuable a ticket is.

At 800mil cash value, the expected value of the ticket is almost higher than the cost of the ticket. Buying every single number to guarantee a jackpot only costs $584mil. So it makes total sense when the jackpot gets this high, more and more people want to play.

>>52356405
