they made the odds 30% worse by changing the format last year. If the odds were 1:100 Billion people would still play cause they don't understand maths.
>"Somebody's gotta win"
lolz
>>25646980
It's just a big distraction for normies.
Marx predicted the lottery would be a major part of modern Capitalism. The astronomically small chance that you might escape your current economic situation is a huge psychological buy-in for a population.
It's classic false consciousness.

Tell that to the guy who wins the billion dollars. I'm sure he'll feel real dumb for playing the lottery.
>>25648941

It's $2 for a ticket I might buy one on the astronomically small odds it changes my life forever.

haven't played the lottery for half a year, used to be my monthly vice
Even if you only match 3 numbers I'm fairly sure it's good money.

None of us will win that sweet money anon
What would you do with the money lads?
i told y'all a had winning ticket and then flushed it down toilet because it is just money and will be where i am now when it is gone only to have more things to fill the void.

invest $500,000,000 of it and live off the remaining.
>>25649756
the pressure of having people messaging, fucking me and wanting to be friends with me for the purpose of golddigging would be too much for a lonely virgin like myself
most likely I would get snatched up by a sexy alpha grill and milked dry
>>25649867
>Telling people you won.
That was your first mistake lad.
>>25649756
I'd finance the most insane films and projects ever conceived.
>>25649938
Not an American, but isn't my name going to be plastered everywhere in the news if I win?
>>25649756
buy a house and pay for my tuition.
start a fund for convicts, idk.
>>25649867
>most likely I would get snatched up by a sexy alpha grill and milked dry
people suck up to people who can get things they want from them then do not need them anymore since they do not have anything to offer.
it is like when you order something and the other wants some of it but they forgot to order then call you selfish when you say no.
if you give - you have less and have to work double to keep up with what you had if you did not give.
>>25649992
>gang-stalking

I wonder how many tickets lottery ticket anon bought so far.I hope he wins it.
>>25649992
Bong here. We have the option to be completely anonymous and also don't have our winning's taxed. But then again we don't get fucking billion dollar jackpots.
>>25649756
With a fucking billion dollars? That's a hundred million dollars x 10. You couldn't go broke even if you wanted to. You could buy a few private islands and a mansion for each if you wanted.I'd pay my traffic ticket and porn subscriptions desu senpai
>>25649938
I seriously doubt anyone here could successfully keep winning the biggest jackpot in history a secret
>>25649200
Why don't you buy yourself a gym membership on the lesser astronomically small odds you get a gf?
>>25646980

>>25650046
never pegged americans to be big on privacy
>>25650149
think it's something similar here, except for the tax
I for one don't see why you shouldn't try your luck with 10-20 bucks. Or just 2 dollars for shit and giggles.
If I was American, I'd try it for sure.
implying it isn't 100% rigged and will go to some predetermined guy to sell even more powerball lotteries
>tfw lump sum is only $600M
not worth it tbqhwyf
>>25649409
Elliot spent thousands of dollars trying to win the lottery.
>>25650301
i have an inkling that the quickpicks are rigged
>>25650322
if you're a retard and want it all at once
I just hope it goes to someone who needs it.
>>25649992
You can hire a jew lawyer to create an LLC and claim the prize as a company
>>25650339
>not getting the lump sum and immediately investing it and making $11 million per year with just 3% gains
>>25650322
>only $600M
>only
you won't even spent a tenth of it in your lifetime if you win.
>>25649938
You pretty much have to release your information to receive your money lol it's part of an "agreement".
I just wish someone would win it already so it can stop being dangled in my face every time I turn on my computer.

move to a nice remote house surrounded by endless fields of grass and hills, with a hired team to deliver groceries and other materials once every month. enjoy living in my nice house in complete isolation with internet with no one to bother me, never working a day again.
>>25650394
Fucking this. You can invest a chunk of it and live off the dividends forever. You'll make millions per year at even the lowest return rates doing absolutely nothing. This is why I don't understand how pro athletes can go broke.
>>25650401
And yet tons of people out there still argue about "going broke in 5 years". Do they realize how much fucking money this is? It's like using grains of rice as currency.
>>25649627
There isn't much holding them back from taking the money and running. No written contract. And I bet a lot of these people spend the pool on beer, unless they know you want to see some tickets.
>>25650394
taking the annuity is the definition is literally retarded
>>25650394
you'll still have less
but there's something on having 600 million on your account I guess
>>25650455
Because they're niggers.
I'm black and I admit that.
>>25650492
We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars bro. Keep it in perspective.
>>25650455
athletes aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer
Anyone else feel like there's NO way the 1% are going to let a "regular" person get their hands on that jackpot?
>>25650322
>California: No State Tax on Lottery Prizes!

I'd build a Swiss Family Robinson style house in the tropics with all the mod cons and regular supply drops of food, vidya etc. Also away from people obviously.
>inb4 elderly person wins and gets heart attack from the shock
>>25650574
That's what the 25% federal Annuity is for broseph. Plus ,depending what state your in, they take a percentage ranging from 5-9%.
If you won the Billion dollars you would get a little more than half that. Which is still a ridiculous amount of money for spending your pocket change on.
I'm about to go buy more lottery tickets, how many should l get for Powerball?
Pic is yesterday's losses.
>>25650574
I think if some token nigger wins the jackpot, more people will play, since "common man can win".
I guess this is the one time they'll let it be. It's not like they'll lose money or anything.
>>25650322
>25% Federal Tax
Fug
>>25648508
>Marx predicted the lottery would be a major part of modern Capitalism.
Isn't the lottery state-sponsored, though?
>>25650674
Buy 2.
First ticket gives you at least some chance of winning.
Second ticket doubles your odds.
Everything beyond that is decreasing returns and a waste of money.
>>25650674
I always go with 10 if it's a big jackpot, after that the diminishing returns kick your ass
>>25649756
give a million dollars each to my friends and family and close relatives
build a cool-ass home with a garden and a gym and a theatre and a private chef (I want to live in a tower)
get fucked by 10/10 male prostitutes
buy 4chan for safekeeping
move somewhere else than sweden
get cosmetic surgery
buy some more frivolous shit
then just fund/oversee video game development as a hobby
>>25649756
Give some away on 4chan, get a house, get a computer, save some for pocket money, give some to family, go to Japan with my friend, then I'd give the rest to my brother so we can invest in shit together. He's a lot better with stocks than me.
>>25651008
Why would you invest shit? You have so much money that you would only be able to spent even half of it by being pointlessly wasteful. Any time not spent putting the money to use is wasted.
I want to see a gangsta nigger win it for all the 4chan butthurt.
>>25651223
true 4chan butthurt would happen if a syrian immigrant won it
>>25651070
Kids if you want them. We're talking generations of wealth here. Although this means you'd have to expose yourself to some gold digging whore.
>>25649756
i would give 500 million to my favorite movie director
>>25651437
Yeah, I guess. Would probably hire professionals rather than do it myself though, and then hire other professionals to keep an eye on my first professionals.

>outing yourself as a redditor
Hello Reddit!
>>25650680
This girl was one of those "peasants" to win the jackpot not too too long ago. And yeah, her win kind of inspired me to start playing.
To me anything above a few million is pretty much the same. I'd just save 99% of it and be set for life
>>25652051
sorry forgot pic.
>>25650743
I was thinking of doing this. One play for my lucky shot, second play for peace of mind.
>>25651906
How did anyone out themselves as a redditor?
>>25650154
Why is the thinnest end of that joint lit?
>>25649756
I'd pay off all my debts; build a modest home for me, my two sisters, my mother and my dad if he wants; buy cars for all of us though I'll urge them not to get the flashiest car possible; buy a normal car and a luxury car; give like half away to family (that includes extended); start a big family business of some kind. A casino/hotel would be perfect because not only do me and my family love that shit, but it'd be a great way for me to indulge in my "real estate" desires and provides an avenue for my sister to open up her restaurant. I'd have the entire family working in it. Sadly I think opening a casino/hotel would cost all of the money there is.
People continue to praise the system while working in dead end wageslave jobs from which there is no escape UNLESS THE ASTRONOMICALLY LOW CHANCE OF YOU WINNING THE LOTTERY.

That's pretty much it. I'm a pretty simple person, whether I have $1.30 to my name or $1.3 billion.
>>25648735
>measly $2 for a minuscule chance at being filthy rich
I don't even play the lotto, but I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to drop a few quarters into.
I mean, for the price of a coke, you mightalmost certainly will notwin a fuckton of money.
