If you are 30 years old, you can throw $2 into your S&P500 index fund and it will have the purchasing power of about $40 in today's money by the time you retire.
By buying a lottery ticket today, you steal a nice $40 dinner from your future retired self.
Is it still worth it?

Has anyone actually calculated the EV for a ticket after taxes? I've heard some states don't tax winnings so statistically you have a positive return

Some people weren't meant to make it. This man was one of them.
How do you fuck up so bad. Here I am living on $1000 dollars a month I couldn't imagine ever needing millions. I have nothing I desire in life besides a girlfriend that let's me sex whenever I want.

It feels like it. I know everybody claims they'll be the exception, but I seriously wouldn't mind winning and seeing for myself.
