Is the lottery REALLY just a retard tax?

Yes, chances are astronomically low, but £2.50 for a possible payout of £50mil isn't even that -ev. £2.50 is fucking nothing with the possibility of truly making it.

You have better chances of winning money at the casino if you calculate the odds.

If you play it less than once a year, I'm willing to pretend your argument isn't retarded

I play once a week because I like the thrill.

You will never win the lottery, and pretty much nobody does.

Nobody actually wins the lottery. (((Winners))) are just ZOGbots who parade their winnings around just to show the proles that winning is "possible" before giving the money back to the state in an endless money laundering cycle.

I really don't see what's so "stupid" about spending no more than $10 a month on lottery tickets if you have a decent job. It's only a measly ten bucks that you were likely going to spend on tendies or some other monthly bullshit anyway

You could argue it could go into an index fund that would net you a few thousand in fucking 20 years.

fuck off Suze

What the fuck are you going to do with a couple thousand bucks in 20 years?

Index funds are absolutely retarded.

Exactly

This is why you will never make it

>Index funds are absolutely retarded.

What will you buy when you make it?

imagine you're a wagie driving home from being treated like nothing more than a disposable body by your boss for 8 hours

>7 PM on a thursday night, you just closed shop because your boss left an hour ago like he usually does
>tired, walking towards your car, can't wait to get home
>feel like grabbing something to eat
>you complain about how much food costs but you don't really want to cook so you go anyways
>you have bills due in a week
>you live paycheck to paycheck
>you just blew your last one on something stupid like a Samsung Galaxy S10 or useless accessories for your hobbies that ultimately don't enhance your enjoyment of said hobby that much
>drive to 7/11 is agonizingly drawn out yet is a complete blank spot from your memory
>buy the same random junk food you always buy out of compulsion since you're a creature of habit
>on line for the register, looking at the cashier
>he's a balding, middle aged pajeet working a god damn cash register
>feelings of dehumanizing contempt and pity for this man smolder quietly inside as you smile and say "thank you"
>wonder if he ever wonders where his life went wrong
>wonder if in the 40 years of life he's lived what separates him from who you want to be
>reflect on your life and wonder if the path you're on is a 40 year marathon to retirement
>that dream of making six figures by 30 is dead
>you're just another nobody destined to live the life of an NPC
>fuck it
>"give me a mega millions, actually make that three"
>"it's just a dollar"
>proceed to not want to spend a dollar on extra guac at chipotle the next day cause it's a waste
>proceed to spend an hour online trying to find shit cheaper on ebay than on amazon to save $10

i-i'm not projecting at all.
i need a hug

Lottery? More like Jack squattery

>Is the lottery REALLY just a retard tax
Yes. The fact that you have to ask this question proves that you are retarded.

Only acceptable reason to play the lottery. If you're playing in order to win you are absolutely retarded.

Unlikely, but I wouldn't be surprised.

You don't see why it's stupid because you cannot comprehend how low your chances winning anything at all are. Because you're retarded.

In my state the funds are used to support veterans and stupid children in shitty schools so I don't mind contributing in that respect. Plus if it gives me a nice daydream and possibly nets me a couple million wampums
in the longest of long-shots, then I'm down.

crypto is the retard tax

Giving money to people that do nothing but play Fortnite is worse than anything that can be posted in this thread.

Put that on a hat and you could make you some money.

>crypto is the retard tax
Absolute truth.
