I was a number away from winning $100k in a lottery. It literally would have changed my life. I was 23 at the time

Too sad
100k? The worlds richest people makes that much every 5 seconds
100k is nothing tbqh. Its fine amount of free money but in the long run there isnt really anything significant you can do with it.
>go to casino
>playing video poker
>the royal flush jackpot is around $25K
>the game deals me the 10, J, Q and K of hearts
>friend and I both stop talking and just sort of give each other amazed looks
>holy fug all I need is the ace of hearts
>the 5th card was also a heart but fuck taking the flush, I wanted the jackpot
>deals me some club card
>next hand the first card it deals me is the ace of hearts
I know it reshuffles in between games but that still pissed me off, felt like the machine was taunting me
If you are financially irresponsible enough to buy a lottery ticket then the $100k wouldn't have made much difference in the long run.

that's me too, f a m
worst part of it all is that i played my classmates' numbers (that are assigned in alphabetic order, e.g Alex would be 1, Zachary would be 30, etc.) and I played a girl's number instead of mine
had I played mine, I'd have been a multi-hundred-thousandariadaire
instead i only got $1,000

They are programmed and the games are fixed so maybe it was.

It would have been enough to start over somewhere

1/47 because it couldn't have given me the four cards I kept or the one I discarded

These machines are programmed to give out x percentage of money people put in them, they dont work like playing with real deck of cards works. They are only made complex because it gives people illusion of control and is thus more appealing, while in reality you could have machine where you put money in and press single button to see if you win and odds of winning would be exactly the same.
