Within the next 48 hours, I am going to win the lottery.
It can happen, it must happen, it will happen.
I believe in you, OP. You're gonna hit it big one day. Just promise to live it up for me when you do, because I'll probably either be dead or stuck wage slaving.
I wonder how much money you would save not buying lotto tickets all the time. I'm not one to talk since I'm a smoker, but at least I get nicotine and cancer for my money spent.
>>24899476

>>24899591
Normal people who buy lottery tickets: Are poor or middle class people with jobs or welfare benefits, who dream of winning the lottery so they can have more money and the material things it can buy.
Me: No source of income except hoping to win the lottery. Want to win the lottery so I can be both wealth and free, able to enjoy the security and life experiences you can have with both, literally betting my life on winning the lottery before I run out of money from savings/inheritance.
Also, I still have in the back of my mind the fantasy of somehow finding another way out form someone who has figured one out themselves, but it always seems to turn out to be something rooted in luck/nepotism, requiring years of hard work and then some luck, or some inner circle shit they won't share.
Seriously guys, what other options are there? Be a wage slave, sacrifice my life for a "career," live on a welfare pittance, kill myself because I refuse to accept the reality of money-slavery? None of the above are acceptable to me, no matter what way I think about it, it all comes back to amassed wealth or passive income to have both financial freedom and personal freedom, and the only way to do that accessible to me is to win the lottery. To keep up with this romanticized absurd lifestyle where I just keep buying lottery tickets, and it will all be ok because the next draw could be the one where I win big, and live happily ever after.

It will never happen, you're throwing away money that could be used to maybe safe up and start a website maybe, honestly you're fucked, theres no way out of wage slaving.
>>24900113
The odds of winning the lottery are very bad.
>>24900214
yet I continue to throw money at it because tis the only way out
also I also play the smaller games with better odds of winning thousands but not millions
>>24900209
>It will never happen, you're throwing away money that could be used to maybe safe up and start a website maybe,
Another thing I often repeat is that I lack the ability to do anything productive on a computer, besides that sitting for long periods is unhealthy and feels shitty. So though I may spend several hour a day here anyway, its just fapping, shitposting watching TV and the like- Ideally I spend more time walking and yoga/meditation than I do already, and less sedentary ass time.
Having to sit on your ass 10 hours a day working online is worse than wage slavery, and making passive income from some MLM-affiliate marketing spam circlejerk is about dumb luck, just like lottery, and requires over 9000 hours of ass time staring at a screen just to try..
What other options are there for a few thousand dollars to turn into millions that don't require advanced technical skill, immense ass time or risking it all at once?
>honestly you're fucked, theres no way out of wage slaving.
I will resist and fight the power.

Those kind of lotto tickets suck, scratch off's 4 lyfe. I'd rather actually win money and get more of a gambling experience then sit around fantasizing about winning millions.
I'm like $40 in the black, and I'm happy about that.

Well captian obvious, I know its an addiction. As mentioned repeatedly, I do it very often though because no matter now improbable it is of winning big money, it is the only way to make that happen, and my only hope of gaining any additional money period. see>>24900113

One alternative is just never leaving home. You'll have to have a good relationship with your parents and still be a wageslave, but you'll be a lot less stressed about bills and save a lot of money that you could later invest.
That or sell pot, buy a ounce and start flipping.

I'm poor because I'm NEET, and lottery tickets are far from my biggest expense, most of my money has been spent on things I actually need that parents don't pay for, and other things that improve quality of life like certain food, clothes and electronics.
>>24902637
investing is always a gamble, to do it yourself requires lots of expensive equipment, years of technical expertise and lots of ass time focuses staring at the screen. Also, I'm sure if it were possible the managers of the trust fund my grandparents left me would have turned it into millions, but it doesn't grow very much, and I can only deduct so much at a time.

Idk why people sperg out over the lottery, even if you buy 1 ticket a week $52 bucks a year isn't going to break most people. Winning even like 500k would be more significant that losing $52 imo.

super fun because holy shit what if I win and then you run through in your head buying mansions and rubbing it in the face of those jerks who bullied you in high school and fucking bitches and flying private jets
it partially tells your brain that that money is coming to you and thats a good feeling. It doesn't matter that its a ludicrously slim chance, it just allows your fantasy to have a realistic way of getting you there instead of 'what if I have a rich uncle i never knew who dies soon?'.
You dont have to be an idiot to play the lottery, we'd all like to be rich. Its nice to dream about it. Like its nice to think about how you'd survive the zombie apocalypse to get you to sleep.

>>24902903
I've already come to the conclusion that some amount of gambling on lottery is good because it provides a glimmer of hope that puts me in a more optimistic state of life. The problem is that since I'm to varying degrees both unwilling and incapable of holding any type of employment, and I don't think live is even worth living if your survival depends upon selling your time/labor to the man, I have often gotten very desperate to win some big money quick, which can result in $50 a week spend on lottery products sometimes, and mood swings related to lottery draws: i.e. big jackpot coming up, bought more tickets than I usually do, win absolutely nothing, someone else wins and jackpot resets, illusion of hope and change shattered, reality sucks, better gamble more to escape it.
>>24902952
sometimes I spend that much per week
Lets see, I resolved to spend only $20 this week, but so far lets see: rough estimate
Super lotto: $9
Fantasy 5: $4
Daily derby: $8
Powerball: 18
Mega millions: $7
Holy fick, looks like I've spent $56 on lottery this week, so far won $0 back, but half of it is for draws later today and tomorrow.
>>24902959
I don't. I allude to him often though because so far his story is the only one in which I see another person with the same type of addiction and dependence on the lottery, an in the same state even, who knows maybe I've bought some lottery tickets at one of the same vending machine he used before.

Super lotto: $8.5 million
youre honestly just stupid if you go for the big lotteries..
my mom pays for my food so everytime i go out i buy some of the small $50,000 jackpot ones
Seriously, why do you faggots not just buy scratch off tickets? You can actually easily win some money on those.
![gamepoint_Scratchers_vending_machine[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/meeji5G.jpg "gamepoint_Scratchers_vending_machine[1].jpg")
>>24903161
desu I sometimes wonder how much better off I'd be if all the money I spent on lottery was on Fantasy 5, which has 1 in 575757 odds of winning a jackpot usually from $50k-200k, recently increased so it starts at $68-82k and grows more rapidly, but there are often winners every day or multiple winners, so it rarely grows by much
But the reason I do the big lotteries is because the jackpot, and sometime even the next best prize are enough money to be financially independent with, while $50-200k is not. I already have that much money locked away in the trust fund, and it seems like a lot, I don't mention it to people because it might seem like I'm wealthy, but if I had to live on my own it won't last more than a decade if no other income source.
>>24903207
I explain this every thread: They are location-dependent, only several top prize winners per game, period; I found that I have an even worse addiction to them than draw tickets (once in May 2013 I spent $50 on scratchers in a single day),, not to mention getting that chemical smelling shavings everywhere.
When I used to play them, I would be like those guys you see on the bus or sitting at a table outside eagerly scratching away a stack of tickets they just bought.
I've had the best luck with fantasy 5, where very often I have had the statistically 1 in 100 ticket that wins $15-20 for matching 3 numbers. Its #1-39 and 5 numbers to draw, a few hundred for matching 4 numbers/
>>24903299
Maybe the reason I'm so okay with scratchers is that I keep winning money. My luck is probably going to run out, but as long as I'm still making money, fuck it.
>>24903333
Most I ever won on scratchers was $10 from a $2 ticket back in 2013, I think it was that day I spent $50 on them. Next day I redeemed it for another $2 scratcher and several draw tickets, all losing.
California now has a $30 scratcher, fucking ridiculous.
>>24903367
Holy shit, you've got terrible luck. I've won $50 on a $20 ticket, $5 on a $5 ticket, $2 on a $1 ticket, $20 on a $5 ticket, $25 on a $5 ticket, and $4 on a $2 ticket. I know it can't last, but I'm enjoying this so far.
The lottery is a tax for people who can't do math
Check out >>>/biz/ for tips on how to grow your neet-bux
>>24903388
Now that I think about it, maybe this is an odds thing. I'm in Vermont, and supposedly on average 1 in every 4.36 tickets is a winner. Maybe California has a lower payout.

>The lottery is a tax for people who can't do math
retard
>>24903388
you're on a roll it seems
a few times I actually did buy a $10 ticket, it was one of those $5000/wee for life games. Won nothing each time. I won money plenty of times on scratchers, but other than that one time it was always $7 and under.
At least avoiding scratchers shows some amount of will power with regard to managing my gambling addiction. I probably spent less than $20 on them the entire year
>>24903410
Correction: the lottery is a game which often results in loss of money but sometimes in gain. Because that's what it is, a game. We know it isn't an investment strategy. If we were looking to invest or save money, we would. But we want to play a game for all the factors surrounding it. Don't be a retard, we know we're throwing money away and hoping to catch some back. Or maybe we don't all. I hope we do.
Also, OP, are you going to go Elliot Rodger on us?
Why did Rodge even want to win the lottery?
His dad was super rich and bought him a BMW.
>>24903429
I guess I am on a roll, and I've been on that roll since I started playing. I'm just hoping I'll be able to quit when I stop winning money. I think I'll buy another $1 ticket or 2 today.
In Australia lottery doesn't get taxed, thankfully. Purchased my second ticket ever since my first ticket paid for itself and paid for another ticket, plus a few additional dollars I spent at McDonalds.
Division one in the draw I'm in will be $25M. If I won, would get a nice place, invest in property since it's booming in Australia currently, and live off rental yield, and diversify another portfolio of stocks, bond, mutual funds, precious metal, and, of course, gold, as to prevent as much volatility as I can but encourage some growth.
>>24903410
Would definitely consult >>>/biz/ after winning the lottery or other big money, but I've lurked there often enough to see there's no way to grow your own money investing that isn't as risky as lottery. Need to hire a professional service to do that shit.
>>24903444
No, I'm perfectly happy being a virgin

because he came to the same conclusion as me that its the only way for us personally to have been able to be independently wealthy. Though if I was him I'd be perfectly comfortable just enjoying being from a rich family, live with them if possible and use my nepotism to get a comfy high paying job after getting any ol' bachelors' degree. Also, just plain vanity, he though that if he won the lottery he could magically attract all the girls by showing off his extreme wealth- show up to SBCC in a Lambo dressed in gold or something, but it didn't even work just leaning on his BMW wearing $300 Gucci shades.
>>24903448
He actually thought his BMW wasn't good enough. He constantly complained about not having a car good enough to get all the white blonde ladies he craved.

Difference is it's calculated risk. You can't calculate risk with lottery. I say this even as a fellow lottery player hoping for his big break. About understanding global shares, local country shares, stock options from emerging markets (including foreign markets), bonds, and gold. More diversification means less risk.

It costs a lot of money to move long distance, especially if you don't drive. Not something you can just get up and do. Its not just me, for a lot of people driving (and all the associated costs) is prohibitively expensive for city dwellers in America, its steadily declining as walking, biking and public transport become increasingly popular
I'm probably too autistic to be a professional yoga teacher, going through the trainings might be something I pursue one I'm already financially independent, but I wouldn't count on making a living off of it, or invest the money in it now.
Off the grid living is not something I'd want to do long term because I enjoy first work comforts too much, and since I've only lived a sheltered city life, have no idea how to do things for myself.

Pic related, just under 250k and I've only been working this job for 7 months.
I fantasize about winning the lottery all the time. I could finally pursue my dream of buying a bunch of rail cars and turning them into houses/bars/restaurants. basically build a town with rail cars, and invite a bunch of robots and rail autists to stay there (would probably charge some kind of rent/require some kind of service, but much less than normie landlords would). I'd call it Foamerville, and hopefully it would become the railfan capital of the world. but the odds of my winning the lottery are next to none, so this will never happen

You do realize that people DO win the lottery. You have to buy a ticket to have a chance for your dreams to come true. Sure odds are against you, BUT SOMEONE DOES WIN! Why not you?
