you know the dates are printed on the tickets right?
Anyway, yea I bought 50 dollars worth which is the rest of my paycheck after grocery shopping.
>>29636830
>paying $5.00
Why?
>>29637005
$1 for 3 days of actual hope. That's the deal of a lifetime. It's a single dollar for more hope for a good life than dating or hard work could ever get me.

this. it's such a good feeling or high, when you fantisze about all the stuff you will do with the millions and how you will rub it in the faces of all the people who have wronged you in life (oh god I need this, I need revenge on my cheating ex gf)

>hope
How the fuck does one in a few hundred million make you feel hope? If you live to 100 you'll have lived 36,500 days. If you bought a ticket on every single one of those days at one-in-a-hundred-million odds, it is 99.9635% likely that you won't win once. At all. In your whole life.
*Math: (1 - 1/100,000,000)^36,500

Someone wins bro

Because many millions of tickets are sold every day. Law of large numbers. It's very probable that someone will win. It's very nearly certain that it will not and will never be you, though.

So? It's a fucking dollar. I spend more than that parking my car for a night downtown.
>>29637704
>I know I'll never win, but I waste the dollar anyway, just because its a small amount of money to waste
if you know the odds, and know that you're wasting the money on a worthless piece of paper, why does it give you any satisfaction? If you just enjoy daydreaming about what you'd do if you were rich, you can do that perfectly well without spending the dollar.
>>29636766
I always buy one just for the fuck of it, even though I know there's no way in hell you'll win unless you're ridiculously lucky. It's cheap and fun.
>>29637062
I know I don't leave the house often
>>29637144
That 1.00 for each day for the next two week
>tfw some old fuck who has 4 years left to live will win
I work at a gas station and see these old people come in and buy 50 fucking tickets
I have no idea where they get that fucking money but its always some old fuck that wins the jackpot
>>29637827
People wasted people all the time no big deal.
>>29636766
I paid the extra $1.00 for the Megaplier because I'm a fucking beta autist. If I hit the jackpot, I'll be too embarrassed to collect because I wasted the money.
