Statistics are part of my job and I buy one every now and then. I'll never understand the look of confusion some pretentious dicks give when they hear this and they're like "but you know the odds". If you can't get $2 (like a candy bar's) worth of enjoyment thinking about what you'd do with the money then just smdh

I do find I'm more likely to buy one when I'm less satisfied with my life situation

Yeah i have to admit having insane fever dreams about the crazed shenanigans I'd get up to with a billion freaking dollars is fun. Like your drat right I'd ear mark a hundred billion to just blow on stupid impulsive bullshit.

I'm guessing that even after he loses his $3200 he still won't realize that the lottery is supposed to be a fun diversion, not an investment strategy.

Seriously. For like a fifth of what it could cost to see a movie I can spend a couple days pretending I’m about to be a billionaire. Money well spent imo, especially the one time I got real lucky and won my $2 back.

Oh yeah, the dreaming is what makes it fun. I want to go to Antarctica, which probably won't happen without a large cash influx like the lottery.

It has it on the ticket, but from the site, it's this. The yellow is the "mega" number match

Yeah, the odds on American lottos are absolute balls. It's seriously part of the reason I quit working in convenience stores. I got sick of having to sell scratchies to people who obviously could use the money they were spending but were desperately trying to get a big win so their lives would quit being horrible. The odds have to be publicly posted but it was generally on the internet or in tiny print on the side of the machines or whatever. Even if they bothered looking for the odds these people were generally innumerate and didn't understand them anyway.

For the winners sake I hope so. If I won I wouldn't want anyone to know. I don't like people as it is, and having a bunch of attention and people asking me for poo poo all the time would be a living nightmare.

Yes, the individual should definitely have better invested those 20 bucks in a no load low fee mutual fund and had $160 bucks in 40 years.

People talk about how the lottery is great fun cause 2$ buys you a lot of happy fantasies but I think this is the real story.

This dude is SAD because he won $9k. The lottery is a misery machine imho

I would be sick too if I was 1 number off winning $1.6B. Probably would be thinking about that one number for the rest of my life!

If you're not retarded, then you'll form some kind of trust and have the representative claim the winnings without ever having your name published anywhere.

I'm no expert but I think some areas require you to show up in person. You can hide yourself, I guess with a mask, but you have to be there in front of the cameras.

I’m curious if it would be possible to pay someone to claim the winnings for you. Honestly, with a jackpot that big, I’d be cool with giving some dude 50 million to deal with the cameras and attention so I don’t have to go into hiding. I’d guess that I’d need to do up a contract with a lawyer beforehand to make sure the guy didn’t run off with all the money or something like that.

Thats what a trust is. It wont cost you even close to 50 million to do.
