i threw a few bucks at a ticket, i'm not that hard up that i'm going to miss a few dollars on a dumb purchase

3/30/2012 2:17:49 PM

I won $7 from Tuesday's drawing. I reinvested it into another lotto ticket

[Edited on March 30, 2012 at 2:19 PM. Reason : wtf was that grammar]

3/30/2012 2:19:39 PM

I bought $5 the other day.

Why the hell not.

3/30/2012 2:20:49 PM

is the expected value for winnings for this >$0?

I guess it depends on how many people buy tickets b/c of the chance of it being split?

But I get $640 * (1- taxes - lump sum penalty) / 175 is prob >1

3/30/2012 2:23:03 PM

3/30/2012 2:31:29 PM

I assume you posted that b/c you think I'm dumb.

Well now I think you're dumb.

3/30/2012 2:50:43 PM

he has a steering wheel in his pants

3/30/2012 2:53:11 PM

I bought 20 bucks worth. Who knows.

3/30/2012 2:56:54 PM

I bought $10.00 worth

3/30/2012 2:58:25 PM

in for $10

3/30/2012 4:10:16 PM

Fuck it. I have a $10 spot. I'll buy ten tickets.

3/30/2012 4:27:01 PM

Im not about to spend even 10 dollars on this. I've never played anything more than a scratch off but I'll admit I purchased one ticket for this thing simply because if you don't play there is zero chance of winning. If I win I will be the most efficient lottery player in the history of man!

3/30/2012 4:28:10 PM

I'd gladly drop $10 for even the slightest chance of winning half a billion $

3/30/2012 4:29:33 PM

By not playing, I just won $10.

3/30/2012 4:33:33 PM

How?

3/30/2012 4:33:47 PM

A penny saved is a penny earned.

3/30/2012 4:35:47 PM

I look at it this way.

My life is going to be any different if I lose 10, 20, or even 100$

But its going to be a hell of a lot different if I win $640mil

^this.

3/30/2012 4:43:07 PM

I bought one ticket while I was getting 5 for my dad.

I also bought 2 $2 scratch offs and won $5. Good day already!

3/30/2012 4:45:00 PM

It's the same reason I like to gamble in Vegas, it's fun.


I am getting more than my $20 worth of entertainment out of daydreaming and having some fun conversations with friends about what we would do if we won.

Custom fat-guy veyron right here. They are gonna need an extra couple hundred HP up in mine.

3/30/2012 4:45:35 PM

don't worry Wolfmarsh, i'll let you borrow my custom fat-guy Veyron when I win

3/30/2012 4:47:11 PM

I mean fuck. Can you imagine just getting a fucking check for $462mil???

I'm lazy and obviously horrible at math.

Whats the after tax take on that?

3/30/2012 4:50:22 PM

they'll take a bit over a third of it

and in Vegas, you actually have a chance of winning

3/30/2012 4:52:07 PM

I've already won; I bought a $5 ticket and a $5 scratch off with $10 I found and won $10 on the scratch off.

3/30/2012 4:54:56 PM

hooray for you! what are you going to do with your winning money?!

3/30/2012 4:55:57 PM

I might actually take the payments.

I've never had over 400 million dollars, I might be horrifically bad at managing it. If I take the payments I know that even if I blow through money like crazy, at least there will be another huge check next year.

thankfully I was sitting down when I read that shocking statement.

3/30/2012 4:57:33 PM

So you are looking at around $310mil after everything if yuo take the cash options.

Fuck.

Id probably put $10mil in an off shore bank account that couldn't be touched by the US Government in case anything ever happened where I lost control of, or lost my money.

I'd probably bury another million or two on some rural random property I would buy in as another measure of protection.

Then Id put the rest in low risk investments and just live off the fucking interest like a god damn baller.

Even at a 1% interest rate, thats $62,500 a week guaranteed and not even touching the principal.

If I had $62k coming in every week for the rest of my life I'd just be doing stupid shit.

3/30/2012 4:58:49 PM

Im going to hire some of the posters from the 18-21 thread to be my pornologists.

Never ever taoe the payments

3/30/2012 6:47:22 PM

[Edited on March 30, 2012 at 6:50 PM. Reason : call the gambling problem hotline!!]

3/30/2012 6:49:02 PM

I wouldn't ever take the payments either.

3/30/2012 6:50:52 PM

3/30/2012 6:56:53 PM

Bout to go buy 1 ticket for 1 dollar

The purest way to play

3/30/2012 6:57:34 PM

Whats the over/under that GeniuSxBoY buys a ticket, after acting like he was too smart to be fooled by that damn lottery.
