Goddammit.
Powerball Lottery is 1.9 BILLION

I didn't win squat.
I hit one number. Now I can sleep without worrying about how to go about redeeming it and the kidnapping risks to my family.
-
Entropy in action. 292,000,000 ways to lose. Only 1 to win.
Proves that bad luck is a LOT more common than good luck. Best not to depend on luck at all.
-
The odds go down substantially when you don't play...
-
I'll likely play again when it approaches a billion bucks.
-
$30 just for that number of plays? No wonder it went so high
-
Cheaper than a trip to a casino, of which there are none nearby. My chances of leaving ahead are about the same.
-
doesn't matter what the odds are, someone has to win.
-
I tossed away 2 dollars on the chance.
-
I won $4. A paltry sum.
-
Newsflash... If you play ten and win four, you lost six.
-
I only play one ticket. Super rarely.

I have never been to one. I have bad luck on lottery tickets, never win anything. Even the scratch offs. I have given up, I am broken.

Chrysler Plant here I come.

Yeah well,
It's the best r.o.i. most folks get a shot at. In terms of risk/reward, there ain't many better options.
But, in truth, it's just another tax on people who can't do math. -
I only play it every once in a blue moon. Just at that shot. Some people buy thousands of dollars worth of lottery tickets. Those people are fucking idiots.
-
I've played it maybe 3 times in the last 5 years. When it gets close to or over a billion bucks I feel like it's worth a shot for $20 or $30 bucks.

Have studied "what to do if I win" opinions a bit. 1. Get a lawyer. They can help with the rest and can even sign the ticket so you can remain anonymous, at least in some states.
