What are you going to do with your winnings, robots?

Give it all away because money wouldn't make my pathetic life any better

I'm going out to buy a ticket right now

If you took the cash option and invested it all you would make $3,000,000 a year with a 1% interest rate.
Holy shit
>>25548622
Somebody's gotta win.
Dumbfucks win millions in lotteries every day
>>25548589
Literally this. I'd have my initial spending spree of less than $10 million, then invest the rest and live off of the returns and interest.
>>25548466
I would get setup with some courses, listen to consultants, and make hires to start first stages of a charitable foundation for robots/channers/neets. (In addition to whatever sudden wealth paperwork one does.)
Something focusing on social aspects. Alienation is a key problem. Maybe communal living with care available and lots of vocational testing and training. Lots of you are brilliant and talented and you don't even know. Lots of robots are stuck in ruts. With this I could pluck them out and put them somewhere comfy and healthy.
Of course I am a 31 year old relapsed neet typing this from his mom's couch. And I didn't buy a ticket.

You deserve to win my friend.
>>25548744
A tax on not understanding mathematics.
The human brain can't comprehend the absurd statistical improbability of winning, and is overriden by motivation as a result of imagining what one could spend the money on.
Logical, superior humans like me would never waste their money.

kek it's like 2 dollars for a ticket, there is literally NOTHING wrong with light gambling as long as you don't make a habit out of it

>>25548869
Gambling is fucking degenerate.
>>25548843
It's no worse than spending your money on entertainment. I can go to a theater and spend $15 on a movie ticket and some popcorn or I can buy a few lotto tickets a year for the thrill of potentially winning
If you treat it like entertainment instead of an investment, then it's not a stupid thing to buy

It's only the idiot tax if you do it extremely frequently, like on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. If you do it once every like 4 months, you're going to lose a negligible amount of money, please flaunt you logic and superiority somewhere else.
>>25548886
What can I say? I like to live life on the wild side.
>>25548911
I literally just wouldn't
I don't want anything to do with whores in the first place. They don't care about me. I'd notice and get angry if some whore came up to me and started being all buddy-buddy because I have money. If I wasn't a pussy, I'd probably throw a handful of dimes at them and walk away.

Keep in mind, after taxes you only get about $300 million

>>25549004
well in that case forget about it
>>25548981
its not usually that high, theres a lot of lottery hype every time i goes up above $300 million around once a year. the other large lottery program in the US is up at $165 million too.
>>25549004
To me, once you're over $100 mil it doesn't even matter. You basically have unlimited money, as long as you don't go full nigger rich and buy 3 yachts it some shit.

Stupid people blow through their lotto winnings very easily
>Buy a bunch of extravagant shit right away

It's surprisingly easy to blow through lotto winnings if you're a total dumbass and you're not careful.

If I had a shit ton of money I would move to some European country and use a shit ton of money to both place myself in a high position of a Neo-Nazi political party and to make sure we won elections.
Plus all the fun stuff of travelling, hunting niggers and sandniggers, recreating life size replicas of Counterstrike maps to be used for paintball.
>>25549004
thats not after taxes, the $500 million payout is if you take the annuity payments option which is spread out over 30 years ($16.7 million a year), or you take it in one big check for $306 million. THEN you get taxed, usually around 40% of that, some states lower and some shitholes way higher. if you lived in LA or NYC you'll get taxed over 50% of your winnings.

Tell that to all the people who won the lottery and are millionaires right. Someone gotta win, and you can't win it unless your in it!
Can't wait to fuck all those bitches with my winnings (getting a vasectomy first ofcourse) and geingt that Bugatti and Lambo (black like my heart) and a fucking beach house in hawaii, and a fucking Mansion with a 15 foot wall around it in case of zombie apocalsype and giving my two weeks notice to my job. Shit will be sweeet
>>25549070
A lot of the time they force you to pose with the check. I've heard of people who wish to remain anonymous but they are unable to for whatever reason.

ATTENTION R9K AUTISTIC KEKOLDS
This thread is being culturally enriched by /pol/
Gambling, especially the lottery, is a degenerate behavior for poorfags/betas/wagecucks/shitskins who think they will get lots of money for doing nothing because they are lazy little fucks. Little do they know that most of the sale of their ticket goes is converted into shekels and wired directly to the kikes to fund their global jewry. Either redpill yourself on the workings of the world or continue to be shilled as fuck.
>muh lottery ticket
>muh welfare
>muh weeds
Hope you enjoyed your enrichment.
>>25549087
God damn, I always assumed the $300 million number came from taxes. They really shaft you on this whole lottery thing. Suddenly $500 million becomes almost $100 million
>>25549109
Some states have laws where you can choose to remain anonymous, and in others you have to disclose your lottery winnings publicly.
>>25549141
Shut the fuck up anon. Spending $2 on a piece of paper is not degenerate.
>>25549105

>>25549173
Are you being ironic?
>Piece of paper worth $0.001 and false hope
>Buying it for $2.00 is not degenerate
Okay I've thought about this shit alot:
1. Buy a large amount of land in the middle of nowhere which i'll live on for some portion of the year
2. Buy a large estate with its own private lake which is where I'll live (I'll also bring my bros to live with me rent free)
3. Buy a fuckton of nice cars, classic cars are the shit
4. Fuck bitches on a daily basis (hookers, whores, whoever)
5. Buy a small run down house for when I want to pretend to be poor and normal
6. Hire a personal trainer and a chef who cooks all my meals so I'm /fit/ and can work out daily in my home gym
7. Travel the world frequently
8. Give my family a large amount of money
9. Fund projects I like I'd even randomly give a few dead in the eyes strangers or homesless like 10-20k each
9. Save the rest
All in all it would probably only cost like 20 mil for all of the above so I'd have a huge amount left
>>25549141
nope, sorry retard. you mean to say, "the state government," after working 12 hours a day in addition to buying a new car, good clothes they end up donating, paying for college, and doing a wide diversity of things that help stimulate the economy that you would never know about because all of your interactions with the inner city is through image macros and, i'm going to say the drudge report.
>>25549142
thats why alot of people are able to burn through their winnings so fast, they may have won a big check that says $100 million on it but it only turns out to be ~$35 million cash which isnt hard to burn through after 5 years of living nigger rich surrounded by your nigger rich hang-ons.
>>25549166
This seems pretty fucked up. You should definitely be able to remain anonymous
I was watching a documentary on lotto winners and this one guy said he had received close to 1000 letters from strangers begging him for money; all because he was forced to shed his anonymity
>>25549087
Why wouldn't you take the annuity if you get the full amount?
16 mil a year is still huge
>>25549193
>being rich as fuck
>being "nice"
>>25549203
do you really want the people you hate to know you are rolling in cash? everyone who ever knew you will want a piece of that and wont forget about you for years to come.
better off ditching everyone but your close family and restarting your life somewhere else.
So what is the smarter option?
Lump sum or yearly payments?
I say lump sum because you can invest
>>25549294
because humans are simple creatures and 306 is bigger than 16.7.
>>25549173
Do you even know the meaning of degenerate? Spending $2 on a piece of paper does not qualify friend.
Not to mention, you make it seem like you've never spent $2 on something you didn't need. How many times have you purchased a candy bar from a vending machine anon? You fucking filthy degenerate.
>>25549294
Economics. You can make more money in with an initial large lump sum, than a trickle amount over a course of a long time
>>25549298
>you have to be an asshole if you're rich
>>25549216
WOW DUDE YOU'RE SO SMART BECAUSE YOU TOOK BABBY'S FIRST PROBABILITY COURSE
>>25548843
When my state lotto went something like 2 years without anyone winning the jackpot. They would take 50% of the ticket sales for each drawing and add it to the next jackpot if no one one. Eventually it got to the point where tickets cost $1 and paid out more than $1 if you took all the odds and all the different payouts after tax and lump sum deduction (which you take if you aren't a complete retard). I think it peaked around $1.50 payout per $1.00 ticket before someone won the jackpot. I started spending $5 per week on tickets once it reached around $1.20. I wish it were possible to buy tickets in bulk. I'd convince some incredibly rich guy to lend me $15,000,000, buy every ticket possible, and make it my job to cash in those lottery tickets. Split the earnings with the guy and he'd make $5 million in a day.
>>25549306
biggest problem with annuities is that the money depreciates over the years due to inflation, a millions dollars a year isnt what it was 25 years ago and will be worth even less 25 years from now.
if you can properly invest the lump sum payment you can make up for the difference in time, but that requires you to be competent and not throw all the money away in the first couple of years.
>>25548466
i'd fund the beta uprising of courfe
>>25549352
Sure, but that amount isn't exactly pocket change, you can still make some money with investing that. Plus you don't have the risk of losing all your money at once because you know you have a decent amount of cash guaranteed coming in the next year.
I guess it's just about different priorities. With that amount of cash i wouldn't worry too much about making more, you're already set for life.
Actually even if the odds are in your favor it's irrational to spend money buying a lottery ticket.
If you're average/poor, 5$ means a lot more to you than the difference between $500mil and $600mil, in the statistically insignificant chance that you'd win.
Opportunity cost.
>>25549417
Buy property.

Forget whores, what about family? I'd probably tell mine to fuck off.

Ok guys , say I somehow win the lottery tonight. How do I go about getting girls and banging them? I don't want to pay money to prostitutes, more about wanting the girls to sleep with me because I'm rich.
>>25548466
I would only public and have an instagram where I just post the high price hookers I buy.
>>25549895
I have banged 50 women. roughly 1/3 were not prostitutes. I will be your pussy coach for nothing more than incidentals and expenses. (Moving out of mom's and into your mansion is an expense.) Excelsior!
