inb4 government intervenes and says "sorry this is too much money, we'll have to take it"

How do i buy lottery tickets? I am new to US.

It gets taxed by half anyway doesnt it?
Still though, 800,000,000 is still a mountain of money. You could buy africa for that much money

Go to your nearest convenience store, hand them your social security number and say "one lottery ticket please".

If the winner takes the cash option, they usually end up with 1/3rd of the displayed prize pool after you have 39.6% in federal taxes ...plus state taxes for some folks.

Still ends up being more money than you could possibly ever spend barring any 100-million dollar superyachts or mansions

Wtf ssn has to do with it? Why not hand cash, buy ticket, say thank you and leave?

idiot tax

>foreigners can buy and win american lottery tickets
imagine trumpcucks if some Mexican trucker wins this

>implying I wouldn't dump it all into LINK

Gotta take one for the team after all u guys have done for me

How will they know it was your ticket? Gotta id

Hey guys is 4.3 billion LINK enough to make it?

link 1000 eoy

Wont i have the physical ticket? Whoever hols the physical ticket won the lottery. Thats how lottery works, do they have to associate lottery with id? Why not dl then? I am a bit paranoid about giving out my ssn anywhere

He’s memeing. You literally just go to a gas station, say “I want x mega millions tickets”, pay and leave. Just make sure that you get the multiplier because sometimes they won’t ask you if you want it.

When you buy the ticket, you can either pick the numbers yourself or have a computer randomly generate numbers.

Is it possible to enter from aus?

Whats the multiplier for

Stick to your shithole, subhuman

I’m Australian

If you add a dollar you get the multiplier, which will multiply your winning by whatever the number is for that days draw. So for example, the amount for matching 5 numbers but not the powerball this time was 1 million dollars. But if you got the multiplier, which is a dollar extra, and matched 5 numbers, you’d take home 2 million because the multiplier this time around was x2.

It’s basically always in your best interest to get the multiplier if you’re going to bother playing the lottery.

As I said,

stick to your shithole, subhuman.

Try that lotto land app?

How do you know there wasn’t a winner

It’s not official that there were no winners you FUCK

Not all states offer the multiplier (includes California)

If you’re in a flyover you don’t matter anyway.

There will be a winner. It's taking so long because they're choosing location of the winner right now.

lol

I unironically dgaf
>$2 could make you “$1.6b” ie no less than $500m lump
Why the fuck not? It’s no different from you people buying 1,000 different shitcoins hoping one of them moons. Only none of them are going to $500m
And, winners usually spend it all stupidly and contribute to economic growth. So I win, even when I lose.

Ask me how I know you’re a dumbfuck

Go ahead, ask

agreed

You can just say what you’re thinking

We don't know yet, do we?

>just transferred my license to South Australia
>unable to buy US lottery tickets

This

To you brainlets you're more likely to get struck by lightening than win the lottery even if you played twice a day for 120 years

The odds are around 1 in 171 million. I'll pass.

It's a good return of investment :^)

This is a false statement. The only reason to play the lotto is to look for the jackpot. The rake on taking the extras is idiotic when your EV is so low anyway.

Low IQ

>I probably don't even know what EV means.

You're x1000 times more likely to have a coin moon on you then win.

Is there even a shred of certainty to how the balls are chosen or is it 100% random?

I mean you could go into theoretical physics and calculate something based off the angle of the earth and tectonic plates and have a 0.0000001% increased chance of winning maybe.

>How do i buy lottery tickets? I am new to US.

You can buy it through your ass! Idiot

there's no way the autopick numbers are random someone would have won by now
I'm going to find a legit random generation and self pick my numbers for he next draw

There is no such thing as random ever. Random is just a copout for "we make no claims on understanding how this is done"

Are you implying that the quick pick is rigged? Cause if the lotto somehow found a ray to rig number generators to not pick a set of numbers before that set of numbers was decided, that tech could make them 3 times the amount of the jackpot because it would be precognition.

Nigga you're thinking way too complex. Any number from quick pick is automatically removed from the potential winning numbers.

I bough 50 quick picks and got 0 matches

I picked 20 manually, I matched 3 numbers before, it was pretty cool.

There had to have been more than 300 million tickets bought
it's a little sketchy that no one has won yet
and all other jackpots over 600m have had multiple winners
so either quickpick is rolling the same numbers for people or it's just coincidence/luck that it happens

I also heard there are more manual einners than quick pic winners but quick pick winner are a big portion of the total winners.

It's fucking rigged. They used to show the entire mechanism of the ball selection machine. Now they hide what they don't want you to see through close-up camera angles. At any rate, there's no way to know that the mechanism isn't rigged. The balls could be magnetic for all we know.

If its rigged you should be able to find a pattern in the winning digits.

Bro it’s only been 5 hours. Wait till later. There could be 3 winners for all you know. Someone in Cali got 4 out of 5 + mega ball.

1.6 billion aint shit today- nobody wants that US shit money anymore

>obligatory envy post from seething 3r world cuck

Yeah yeah go back to selling street fruit from your shack on the side of the road Pedro

you're gambling on shitcoins, u know most of the info you think you have it's speculation at best.
the reality is that it is a gamble just like the lottery, google could come up next year with the fastest blockchain, something similar to the red belly blockchain program in australia, but this time with a multibillion dollar plan from google for cloud computing etc, smart contracts and rewards for people holding nodes for verification etc.
It would make a lot of current crypto that you're possibly holding plummet into nothing, depending on how austistic you are it could turn ur 10k into nothing, the average america spends no more than 300 dollars a year on lotto, it would take them over 30 years to spend 10k on lotto. Yet you're gambling it right now.

Lol the multiplier cost more and is not applied to the grand prize. Jesus people stop talking out your ass. But I guess this is biz after all

If I won, I would dump it all into Bitcoin and initiate the next rally.

They can buy them, but they can't claim the prize unless they are a US citizen.

I bought 1 ticket of 2 euro for eurojackpot with a jackpot of 90 million.

Am I going to make it Jow Forums?

Imagine being a brokefag like me and winning and investing $600m into Bitcoin, while relaxing with whatever millions are left over, and coming back in a few years to 100x gains, or $60 billion. Lmao.
> that lottery winner that wasn't dumb with money

What other options are there?

Dumping that amount of money at once would alone cause a massive bullrun from the FOMO alone.

this, if you win and don't dump all $1.6 billion into LINK you are not a true marine
not even pay taxes, you must take one for the boys

Can I still buy a ticket?

IFS HABEDIN BUY THE LOTTO BROS

If I win this will I be able to have sex with Emily Ratajkowski?

>and that kids is how the richest man in the world made his fortune

possibly, but according to CMC, the daily volume of Bitcoin is in the billions. 3.59 B in the past 24 hours. If I stretched it out over a month, I might be able to accumulate everything under $7500. Most likely would initiate the next bullrun though.

>a 600 million dollar buy wall
Yeah, that one won't go down anymore lol.

if you win every morning she will bring you breakfast while giving you a BJ and rubbing her tight wet pussy on your feet

nah, I would just eat up big sell walls as they appear over the course of a month, on multiple exchanges.

Is buying a lotto ticket a good investment?

Fucking Adelaide fag. Meet me in Rundle mall tomorrow. Bitc h

>hand them your social security number

Is this really how it works in murika? Land of the free lmao

Only when you're in positive expected value territory, which is rare. businessinsider.com/the-expected-value-of-playing-powerball-is-128-2012-11

Some 70 year old boomer grandma will win the lottery...it always happens

0.0000000033% chance of winning the jackpot if u buy one ticket. Its absolute nigger tier iq

But user. Someone does win

>deposit 100 million each in binance bittrex kraken poloniex bitstamp coinbase gemini

How much of all ticket sales ends up in the governments pockets and how much returns to winners?

Like 80.gov / 20 plebs?

You’re retarded. So don’t buy a $2 monster today boomer it all equals out

Brainlet

I can’t believe nobody fucking won. This is getting out of hand

I just won $900 at the casino last night so I'll be using that to purchase 3 tickets per drawing until it pops. After that I'm done with lotto.

Not true

why is it so hard to believe? they made it harder to win so they jackpot would get bigger, knowing most people wouldn't realize what they did was on purpose, because when jackpots get bigger it causes more people to play. I mean, $700 million alone was added to the pot in just the last few days, and that's not counting what they didn't add, which I'm not sure how much that is, probably 100 million.

>Jow Forums
>How to buy a lottery ticket
Pathetic.

I prefer euromillions.

Post numbers

Over 700 million tickets sold. 97.6% of all possiblr number combinations were acquired, none of them matched.

That’s absolutely wild

>not enjoying the fantasy of being hundreds of millions richer and the moment of it
Most people are well aware that it's an incredibly long shot and the chances are absolute garbage, but "you never know." It's possible to gamble responsibly. I spent $10 on tickets, first time ever buying lotto tickets. $2 for a chance to be one of the richest people in the world. Why the fuck not?
Now the poor fuckers I always see at the place I bought my tickets at that are always playing scratchoffs and shit, those are the people you should be more concerned with.

I would just market buy the whole amount. I’ll make it back from the fomo

Imagine how rich the shareholders are from this circus
