What do you think about the lottery? I think it's the worse thing to happen to people. On one hand, it gives people this sliver of hope of ever winning. On the other, actually winning would be a nightmare having to deal with all that money you won. Plus, I think whatever set of numbers isn't chosen before the draws is chosen to be the winning numbers.

>a nightmare having to deal with all that money you won
If that horrible fate looms, just call me.Sheesh.

you realize that after you win, it becomes public record that you have that much money. people will try to sue you for literally anything. even try to kill you. i like the idea of winning $1 mil but to win half a billion is way too much.

I buy tickets when the jackpots get massive just so I can daydream about it for a little while. I know a lot of the proceeds go to the education budget in my state, so its not like the money is just disappearing. If I managed to win a huge jackpot, I'd probably keep about $5 million, give my parents enough so they can retire, and then donate the rest to charity in a very public way so that predatory people know I gave away almost all of it.

it doesnt "become public record" people go on TV and get photographed when they win and other people try to abuse tort law to sue them for minor shit or just straight up make shit up. AFAIK you can't remain anonymous (when the winner is anonymous it usually creates suspicions of shady shit as it could mean the money went nowhere and the lotto was a scam) however you can use a fake name

just move in the forest and keep to yourself or live close to other rich people

Being rich is only expensive if you live like a rich person.

If you just buy a normal 3-4 bedroom house in a normal area and have no car (use uber) or average car and keep your money in investments nobody will ever think you're rich.

But all you niggers are normies by nature who have to show off and have mansions and ferrari's so of course youre going to make yourself targets and will need to spend millions of security

i'd honestly want a mansion but not if sercuty was necessary not to show off just because i'd want it
would decorate it with armor and swords etc

I've been playing it for a couple of years, but stopped playing it often, recently. I just bought 6 drawings of Just The Jackpot for the Mega Millions; if I don't win anything, I'll wait another couple months before playing again. I just need a quick way to get out of debt, which isn't much, but I'm only making a little more than minimum wage. I don't plan on living the big life if I ever win, since I won't be earning enough income to replace my winnings, so I'm planning on giving half of it away to family, friends, and charities, use half of what I'll have remaining for savings and investments, and the rest on things I want, like education, cars, workshops, and a small house. I'll use the savings to live out my dream for the rest of my life.

I believe you can hire lawyers to "claim" your winnings in their name.

>I just bought 6 drawings of Just The Jackpot for the Mega Millions
what do you mean just the jackpot?

If you win the lottery you pay a lawyer to help you set up a trust fund that you use to claim your winnings.

People PRETEND to believe in religion.
The numbers don't lie.
>Everybody who bets believe The Lottery.
The last true belief.

I always say that the lottery is an additional tax on stupid people

Ever since Mega Millions updated their price per drawing to $2, there's an option at the bottom of the card where you can choose to purchase a couple drawings to play for the jackpot only. You cannot claim any winning numbers unless all 5 numbers, and the Megaball, match.

Congrats on your completely original thought and post.

what is that a dollar? seems like you would be better off just getting the $2 version

Well at odds of 1 in 292 million, the odds of randomly going out of your house, then being hit by lightening, twice, and then being eaten by a crocodile, are way higher. So I wouldn't worry that much about the nightmare of actually winning. I think I could deal with the extra money though, still not playing the lottery.

people have won multiple times

It's a scam setup by the CIA to fund their nation wrecking.

My life purpose is to win the lottery. Elliot gave up, but I will never, until I win, hopefully tomorrow.

Assuming 2 other winners and I take the annuity, cucking the other winners, they'll be so buttmad, but in 10 years when they're still fiIthy rich they'll thank me.

No shit. What are the odds that that person is gonna be you?

more likely than you think
theres been people that won half a dozen times

2 drawings for $3
4 drawings for $6
6 drawings for $9
8 drawings for $12
10 drawings for $15

I think that the fantasy the lottery provides is maddening. It's become almost an obsession for me, thinking about every aspect of my life that would improve with massive amounts of money. The thought that I could free myself from all societal monetary obstacles and use this freedom to pay to improve myself in any aspect I want with clinical efficiency and speed, is just incredibly frustrating. It's so easy to build this world in your mind, and so depressing at the same time, because you know you'll likely never get it. I would have access to the highest quality meals, private tutors to personally educate me in any field or hobby I'm interested in, a personal trainer and stylist to change the way I look for the better, and the ability to travel anywhere I want for as long as I want, without care. It would literally make me a better and happier person. As for the nightmare of having to deal with it, I have no idea why that would be an issue for you. I'm probably just being naive and too focused on the positives, but I can't imagine that the downsides outweight the positives.

You set up a trust or have a lawyer claim it for you, idk the details, but it's a simple google search away on how to claim your winnings anonymously.

Eh i can see why people would do it thanks
i like lucky for life lottery

I won't be surprised if somebody wins it this Friday. The jackpot jumped up to $900 million in a day (was at $842mil).

I fantasize about the results of a big win a couple times a week. Walking out on my job would be amazing. I'd probably buy some land, a house, and a tank. But my problems with women would only get worse. Having never been laid before the money, I would be consumed with distrust every time I had the chance of sex or relations. Would probably try seeing prostitutes.

Dude, just hire prostitutes.

You're absolutely right user. As skeptical as I am about ever winning so much as even my ticket back, I find myself having day dreams about how much life would vastly improve with all that money. I could finally become the wealthy neet and pursue my passions and interests at my leisure rather than have to worry about where I'll end up in 5 years. But who could blame us for day dreaming? We equate a massive windfall with a whole world of possibilities, where the only barrier to entry is a cup of coffee.

yep i bought myself one
hopefully someone get's it that deserves it

Just hire $5000 whores you could probably get virgin ones

This is a mandatory video you must watch before "playing" the lottery. Please.

You could just lie about having money for a few years anyway

fuck off back to re ddit you npc

Is this said in irony, or a concrete example of the NPC mind in action?

It's not for me, personally.
Was never really much of a gambling man.

> and have no car (use uber)
what the fuck even broke ass niggas have cars. thats like the first big thing you buy. you dont have to buy some expensive one, just a normal one.

I've always dreamed of owning a garage/workshop larger than my house.

if you won 1000 a day for life would you take it or the 5.75 million?

>good advice
>npc meme
No, an NPC would be like everyone else. Brainwashed into thinking they actually have a decent chance of getting rich.

>No, an NPC would be like everyone else. Brainwashed into thinking they actually have a decent chance of getting rich.

you dont need a house keeper. why would being rich suddenly mean you cant clean your own shit?

what the hell is 'security' aside from a house alarm? are they saying you need guards outside your house or some shit? live in a good area and you wont have to worry about that.

if you're not a retard you wont need a personal assistant. take some basic classes on managing money.

not gonna lie, having a personal cook would be pretty sweet. but i personally enjoy cooking my own food. tastes better when i do it

the way to live successfully as a lottery winner is investing so you get richer while doing nothing. you buy your big house, your nice car, and never spend more than what you gain off interest. it's that simple.

yet every retard lottery winner wants to spend it on drugs, hookers, parties, buying 20 houses, 20 cars and other fucking stupid shit.

yeah why are most lottery winners absolute morons

only morons play the lottery so I guess its kind of self-explanatory.

the type of person that wins usually already has bad habits. it just gets magnified when they get more power.

I'm not mentally fit to drive a car, I would be a danger to myself and the general public, with all my tics and mental issues. I'd either buy a self-driving car or continue using public transport if I won the lottery.

There was a lawsuit in some state that ruled a winner can remain anonymous.

Inflation, Interest, Investment.

30k a month isn't enough? you actually get it until you die

Not worth it at all. If you don't win you get suckered out of the money you paid, if you do win your life as you know it is over. Since you usually can't collect your winnings anonymously everyone will know that you suddenly have a lot of money and you'll be swarmed by "friends" trying to ride your coattails or people trying to cheat, rob, or even outright murder you.

5.7m is a lot more capital available to make even more money now than just 30k/month

even if you do lose it's a fun game especially scratch tickets

>365k a year
cmon 15 years and you have your 5.7 million
just invest 175k per year

what about the second top prize 25k per year for life? it's either that or like 400k flat

I'm sorry, I believe you can make significantly more with 5.7m now than investing 2.625m over 15 years. Maybe my math is wrong.

My neighbors, and their son (my childhood friend), won the lottery for like $30 million or something. Kid was a fucking dick too, but to be fair he was adopted.

and where are they now? ori

anyone being playing the mcdonalds lottery?

Son goes to some private college on the east coast, no idea about the parents.

kek being rich and still spending time doing college or work

25k per year loses even more to 400k flat than 1000 per day. Again, my math could be wrong. I'm a brainlet.

I mean, pulling up to school in a Bentley and having access to easy college pussy probably isn't so bad. Dude had problems when we were kids though so who knows how he is now

Everyone gets Broadway but no one got Park Place.

but it's neet hood for life

>it's a fun game especially scratch tickets

It's pure luck, and 99% of the time you're throwing your money away.

kek lucklet

Lottery tickets are the most futile form of gambling, and the prizes might not even be all that great if you don't know how to keep yourself safe from envious cunts or cannot manage your finances properly and blow it all on Lamborghinis or something.
