HOW MANY TICKETS ARE YOU BUYING? I'M DROPPING MY ENTIRE $600 STIMULUS ON THIS SHIT. GO BIG, OR GO HOME.

>>26379924
0% chance of winning, absurd taxes if you do seems like a great deal

>>26379996
The largest statistical difference is between 0 and 1 tickets.
So yes, I have one ticket. Dream tax, let myself have some daydreams for the cost of a candy bar. I usually buy 2-4 tickets a year, fuck it.

>>26379924
I'm in for $2 I got for free.

If I win, I’ll buy everyone here 1 rubic in 2022 (after it’s gone because it’s obviously a scam)

>>26380050
Yea fuck that lottery if I only get to bring home $600m. Not worth my time

I'll be using every penny from my win on linkies

>>26380050
>0% chance of winning
If you don't buy a ticket, correct. You have 0% chance of winning.

If you buy one ticket, you have 1 in 300,000,000 chance of winning. Slim but infinitely better odds than not buying a ticket.

If you buy 300 tickets, odds are 1 in 1 million approximately for a single drawing. Not bad. I have a disease that is as rare as that.

If 100 anons buy 300 tickets each, odds of one of those tickets winning are 1 : 10,000.

>>26379996
Good then you'll have a 600/800,000,000 chance of winning.

Why doesn’t /biz/ do some kind of collective buy?

>>26380185
it is less after all taxes and costs retard. also math says you are not winning.

>>26379924
i lost 100 playing this. made 600 on crypto in a week...

>>26380272

Can't wait for a fat Mexican or 90 year old geriatric to win

>>26380050
Also, here is a redpill most don't know about. You also can write off lottery losses against taxes you'll pay on the jackpot, and that's throughout the year. So you could just gather trashbins full of scratchers and spent tickets and write a sizable portion off. If you were to buy every single combination, you can deduct that from your taxes. Assuming there is no tie and you were able to buy 300 million tickets in the next few hours, with "Just the jackpot" @ $1.50/ticket each option, you would make a great profit.

>>26380459
this

i knew someone from my old neighborhood. he got shot within a year of winning

>>26379924
>ONE. BILLION. DOLLARS.

>>26380459
A 4channer will win tonight.

>>26380405
Those gains are chump change. I want hundreds of millions of dollars and I am willing to risk losing $600 to gain that.

>>26380633
yeah that's not a bad way to look at it. if $600 is pennies to you. but I love my gains so far as a 3digit retard, almost entering 4digit forest.

>can't buy lottos online
gay

>>26380050
Not if we RNG hack

Just think how much I could increase the price of LINK with a lump sum.

>>26380285
Would it be absolutely insane to drop $600 into this?

>>26380285
What If I buy 300M tickets?

>>26380367
Oh the humanity

Just by buying one ticket, you create a quantum timeline where you win $600M right?

>>26380905
Yes

>>26379924
CAN I PLAY IF IM NOT A BURGER?
I WANNA PLAY JUST FOR FUN

>>26379924
Some old, white, already rich muthafuker will win it and will donate it to BLM.

This isn't good for me.
>>26380860

>>26379924
fuck it i might buy a ticket

How do you even go about organizing a collective ticket buying without someone fucking over someone else

>>26380905
>Me in some quantum timeline gets $600M
Well fuck now I gotta buy a ticket.

>>26380860
so you lied. it is not 600m faggot.
glad i dont live in your mutt country. hope you all lose and some some nigger wins it all and blows it.

Uh okay, anyway maybe start some kind of partnership where users can all collectively sign an agreement with an anonymous persona that has some kind of verification that is only held by that individual person so like some sort of key that’s kept on a person anyways I just want us to buy an island and build a large self sufficient mansion that’s all I need for a starter then we can divy up after that

Never mind

Golotter will pay for your flight to the US! Like other American lottery winnings, Mega Millions prizes are subject to US State and Federal taxes.


I don't have a passport
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuck

>>26381580
not everywhere. some states let you claim it anonymously. if they don't, just talk to a lawyer and set up a shell LLC or something

How much btc are you buying with your billion dollar winnings?

I guess we could do lottery pools that way we could stay anonymous and have the winnings automatically shared to our accounts
> Some lottery pools are more complicated. For example, some let people buy more "shares" of the pool by contributing more money. If one of the participants in the example above had contributed $5 instead of $1, and the lottery pool manager had used the extra money to buy 55 tickets instead of 50, that big spender would be eligible to receive 5/55ths of the jackpot instead of 1/50th.
https://www.thebalanceeveryday.com/lottery-pools-what-they-are-and-how-they-work-892822
States would still make us reveal ourselves so we can get knifed to death in our sleep

>>26381206
with smart contracts

>>26380905
A timeline already exist where you bought the ticket and won anyway so what's the point

>>26381659
Damn nearly got scammed haha

Visitors to the United States are always welcome to purchase tickets for our game from an American lottery retailer while they are visiting this country; you do not need to be a resident to win. However, Mega Millions tickets are not sold outside the United States. Mega Millions is not affiliated with and does not endorse any company claiming to sell our tickets around the world, online or otherwise. If you choose to do business with one of these companies, you do so at your own risk; Mega Millions rules prohibit the purchase of tickets by agents representing players in other jurisdictions.

Is there a protocol lottery? Seems like something fun to do without having to disclose your identity if you win. Winnings would automatically be sent to the wallet where you registered from

>>26380633
but you're definitely gonna lose

>>26382480
Near guaranteed to get back $10

Better than some crypto that are outright scams

>>26381736

>>26380791
yes, the lottery is a tax on stupid people who can't comprehend odds that are far removed from what we experience in our daily lives

>LOTTO TICKETS

>>26381454
The drawing is tonight. To play you can either go to a pajeet store or buy online for your State.

>>26381997
Ah, yeah that's true.

Remember to buy your tickets in Arizona anons

>>26379924
Do any anons not play because their state doesn't keep their identity private? Fuck that. I don't want to die from people waiting outside my house once they hear I won or some shit. kek

I will post this pasta in every lotto thread I find.
This message is mostly for yuropoors.

Bravoloto is a 'free' online lottery developed by marketluck (baguette company) in which you can win up to 1 million EUR if you get lucky, picking 5/48 numbers and 2/12 astrological signs for each grid. The odds to win the jackpot are slightly similar to Euromillions and other lotteries of that kind, i.e close to zero. But playing gives you a nonetheless small chance of winning.

There are three kinds of grids you can play :
-Normal grids, 3 draws per day at 9:45 AM, 12:15 PM and 8:45 PM GMT with a jackpot of 25k EUR
-Super grids, 1 draw per day at 9:45 PM GMT with a jackpot of 100k EUR
-Mega grids, 1 draw on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 10PM GMT with a jackpot varying between 500k and 1M EUR

The app grants you AT LEAST 50 normal grids per day, for free. To obtain super grids, you must fill 10-20 normal grids per draw and 150 normal grids gives you one mega ticket. (If you grind you can gain one per day since there are 3 daily draws.)

>since it's free, you're the product right?
Indeed. The app works by allowing you to play grids by watching ads. So it's NORMALLY a huge time waster, and according to an interview from the CEO the average player spends ~30 minutes per day on the app.

>Then why the fuck are you shilling this?

Because you can actually CIRCUMVENT THE ADS, by using a system-wide adblocker such as a cracked version of AdGuard, Blokada or DNS66 on Android. Filling a grid only takes 2 seconds now instead of 1 minute, and you can block all of the useless background trackers/analytics without risk of breaking the app. I even took the time to read the ToS and there is no mention of the use of adblockers.

>must be a manipulated scam then
It's the weakest link, but it's monitored by a known French bailiff and seeing their business model, they'd rather have people think it's legitimate to bring more potential customers and players. A roastie won 500k EUR in 2019.

>>26380860
wait I always heard it was better to take out the annuity but I assumed it was cause of tax reasons. They just give you 39% less if you take the money and run?

Here are links for the AdBlockers I previously mentioned, even if you don't end up playing this lottery you can at least leave this thread with tools that WILL improve your phoneposting experience. Most of the following links are taken from Mobilism, so you can consider them relatively safe if you're paranoid about viruses and stuff.

The advantage of those compared to Adaway or AFwall+ is that you don't need to root or install xPosed on your android phone. Be sure to enable all filters in AdGuard and don't hesitate to block requests you deem suspicious.

I think I gave you everything. The chances are slim, but it's worth a shot espcially since you're playing FOR FREE. You can do this while on the job, trading, etc. FOR FREE

No a single person ITT will win

>>26383220
Not an Indian

>>26380791
Insane? Yes and no. The probability of someone winning tonight is extremely likely. The probability it will be you is EXTREMELY SLIM but you maximize those chances by purchasing more tickets. The loss of $600 is nothing.
>>26382656
Wrong. You're just a midwit of limited intelligence who thinks improbable events will never happen by sheer numbers. 1 in 1 million chance events can and do happen routinely, nay by the minute, and even experiencing life itself is a statistical improbability that exceeds this. It isn't something to bank on but to dismiss it as stupid is plain retarded and probably a cope because you don't have $600 to blow. Funnily enough, most big jackpot winners are snowbird boomers in Florida who spend hundreds on a single drawing.

The stupid person does not play at all. They lose all chance of winning. The loss of $2 is quite literally nothing for most people.

You're just a midwit of limited intelligence who is looking at this as an investment. In any case, you don't take into account the most glaringly obvious thing about life doesn't come to your mind. You're going to be fucking dead one day and as you approach the death horizon, and your body fails and your friends and family around you die, money becomes worth less and less. Sure I could drop that $600 into my IRA or some shitcoin but by the time it materializes into anything I'll be 40 years older and it wouldn't even have grown to such an amount. The value of a windfall of cash, even at risk, during one's youth and prime cannot is much more valuable than something that will come to life many years down the line when your 60, grey, and stupid from the loss of dopamine neurons.

>>26383265

Honestly I'm kinda curious about this. Too late for this drawing but anons should come up with a way to devise a pool where we wouldn't have to worry about some backstabbing schlomo

Don't forget to spam fakes on Twitter as soon as they announce.

It's better to take the lump sum. Annuity pays out that $737M over 30 years. The $450M lump sum can be reinvested and return you much more than $750m

Someone who is going to write MILLIONS of gambling losses off:

https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/jobs-and-career/can-you-claim-gambling-losses-on-your-taxes/L4lQ3IAWt

Remember you have an entire year to accumulate tickets, scratchers and other crap to reduce your taxes. It'll be hard to do with this large of an amount but you could feasibly get back a few extra million if you go about it the right way.

I never play this shit except the 1.5B in 2016 and this.

Fuck it, it’s fun to follow the crowd sometimes.

>>26380285
the reason lotterys can work is because the human mind cant really comprehend what a massive number 1 million is. 1 in one million is so incredibly rare.

>>26383265
What about crypto lottery. Could even do it with just 2 people, BOTH people put in same money then roll the dice or something

>>26380177
Checked and based

>>26383824
I contemplate it just find and realize if repeated, will result in a loss >99% of the time. However, at the same time, I recognize there is likely to be a winner win the jackpot is so high and 1:1M (300 tickets) chance is far better than 1:300M. If several hundred people in this thread are doing the same thing (buying large amounts of tickets), then collectively, there are tens of thousands of tickets at play which effectively reduces the collective odds among that wide group to 1:10,000.

>>26383824
Can't win if you don't play

>>26383824
But just imagine someone will end up winning and they were told that their chances were nothing. Which they were. But they still won. Fuck it I will throw $20 and dream until the drawing.

>ITT: losers who could actually profit buying any good coin instead of gambling on that bullshit
You're the loser if profiting off $600 is a big deal. Even if the $600 had a x5, that's still not a very life changing amount. I would rather risk losing it all to have a chance at HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS. This is the chad move.

>>26380766

Checked and same. If I win I’m lump summing and market buying 100 million worth of LINK.

>>26384616

>>26383374
1 in a billion chance events happen every day, but there are also billions of events happening every day
I am just about as likely to be distant cousins with some billionaire who will then give me a million dollars
A longshot? Yes, but when you consider all of the other longshot events that end with me coming into a great some of money, they're not much lower than me winning the lottery
with that said, using anything under $100k on the lottery to increase your odds is a negligible improvement (that's being generous as even that point is still a huge stretch. and at that point you're risking burning huge amounts of capital on a tiny chance event)

>>26379924
I bought 2 tickets and I’m going to win

>>26384816
Normal tickets or "Just the Jackpot"?

>>26379996

It's a chance I'm willing to take.

>>26379924
>Believing in lottery tickets
You all deserve to be poor

>>26385226
>buying more tickets doesn't increase your odds
I don't think you're a real math professor.

Average loss from buying a ticket: $2
Assuming 1 in 300,000,000 odds of winning—
Average gain (after tax) from buying a ticket: $500,000,000 / 300,000,000 = $1.67

Mathematically, the odds are against you. If you were to take this bet infinitely many times, you would end up losing 16.5% more than you put in on average. In theory though, you could consider it a profitable investment as soon as the post-tax gain hits $600m (roughly $1.3b jackpot).

FUCK IT! I GOT A GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS ONE!

You're welcome, anon. Don't keep your hopes up since it's still a lottery, but you can at least play for free without wasting your time. This is what matters the most.

>>26385459
That assumes you buy all combinations, which if you did, you could write off your losses against what you'll pay in taxes >>26383671 Average profit would be higher than the cost of a ticket with this in mind. Higher still if you utilized the "Just The Jackpot" tickets, which cost $1.50 each instead of $2.00, so it's definitely positive return at that point. However, it's a bit too late to buy 300,000,000 tickets, and there probably will be a tie anyways.

My parents got 5 tickets today, if we win I'm putting it into the market. All on GME

wouldn you just own GME at that point as a majority shareholder you could make the ocmpany do whatever you want

>>26382930
>I assumed it was cause of tax reasons
No, it's because you'd do better if you dumped the lump sum into an S&P 500 fund than if you took the annuity.

>>26385724
>That assumes you buy all combinations
I'm talking more about establishing a system of net positive-outcome bets over the course of your life. In this case the average expected outcome of buying a single ticket is $1.67. In theory, if you always take a bet with a higher avg return than the avg cost when given the chance, you come out on top. Maybe not the most exciting way to live but I'm an analytical person by nature.
Good point on the jackpot tickets though. Might have to get in on this.

Says the midwit. Retards and geniuses are the ones buying loto tickets. Only literal redditors are the ones who go around with some visualization trying to get people not getting a ticket to their dreams.

Just bought one (1) ticket. I’m going to win.

you'd have to be complete brainlet not to play in this. research odds for one second

>>26386710
Mega Millions/Powerball has a positive EV over ~$700 million. Should only buy one ticket, though.

>>26379924
>doesn’t use Chainlink vrf to pick numbers
the winner will be a (((random))) person you fucking sheep

Why do people start businesses despite statistics showing that most businesses fail within a few years?

>no he's right, lottery is a retard tax.
What? This is precisely what a midwit would say to feel better about their limited, average ranged intelligence.
>>26388627
>no you!
Profound response, big boy.

i miss hurley

>>26380100
I play a small one every draw. $2/week to pay for regular comfy daydreams.

It starts at $4 mil and I don't see it get out of the 20s, but it's only a 1 in 10 million chance and even the minimum is enough to buy a cottage and shitpost, fish, and Vidya forever.

Jew here, no one is going to win tonight. Try next week

>>26389564
Statistically speaking, the most likely outcome tonight is a tie.

When I win I will put it all into crypto, then send half to anyone who posts their address here.

I dropped $20 I got in tips that were floating around my car. If I get the billion I will do a few 10k Link giveaways here.

>>26389855
>not gonna make it, even though he would have already made it

If I win I'm buying this crazy castle with 30 acres on a cliff overlooking Lake Pend Oreille in Idaho, fill the garage with Aston Martins and a nice truck, fill the outbuildings with ATVs and off road equipment, hire a full time caretaker and rotate between it and a comfy condo in Southeast Asia during the winter when Idaho is cold as fuck.

>>26390167
That looks fucking beautiful.

>>26390167
If I win, I'll buy the property for you. Not the vehicles or other stuff.

>>26387538
People win lotteries

No one has won the Mega Millions jackpot since September, that's why it's up so high.

CPA here, if any of you autists actually win please take the fucking lump sum not the annuity.

Also buy like 10m AVAX to pump my bags haha that would be so funny

>>26390270
Is only $9 million, buy it and I will live in one of the 4 gust/caretaker houses and more the lawn when you went around.

>>26386710
you are a real dumb fucking retard

>>26390167
based comfy potato king

>>26390334
I'll give the whole property to you, gratis.

redpill me on lumpsum vs annuity

>>26388964
>comparing having a vision and starting a company with gambling
i'm so sorry for your IQ anon
>>26390354
lottery players are the retards

Why the fuck can't you buy lotto tickets online?

>>26390394
You can make far more off the lump sum by investing it conservatively than you can off the annuity.

If I win I will start my own village on a ranch in Texas and call it Tendies Ranch, all anons who give me (You)'s get 2 free acres of land with utilities laid already. Build your own houses though lazy cunts, but I will subsidize building materials at a rate of 50%

>>26390354
winning 1B instead of 300M wont change anything to your happiness / lifestyle if you win retard. Ever heard of marginal utility?

>>26380272

>>26390394
I've done the amortization calc, lumpsum always beats annuity over the average american lifespan even at super low rates of return. You will not only have more money today, you will have more later in life if you invest in even moderately profitable asset classes.

got the winning ticket in my hands anon

>>26390500
I'm already happy and I wouldn't change my lifestyle much at all, that much is right, but you're thinking too small if you're only thinking about consumption. That's a potentially world-altering amount of capital if applied in the right places.

wtf is a power play anons
i never play this shit
i just spent $2 on a quick pick and it says power play no

>>26390544
looks like we're splitting the pot I got the winning numbers too. ill see you on the otherside.

>>26390537
also I was just thinking that they probably don't account for inflation? so better to get more now than have the deposit amounts decrease in value over time?

>>26390620
It is a multiplier that's drawn by a computer RNG, ranging from 2 to 5x. It multiplies all prizes other than the jackpot so if you match 5 out of 5 but not the jackpot, you get $1 million times that amount. It's not worth it as the expected return is always negative.

Just the jackpot tickets at $1.50 are the best deal when the jackpot is this high.

>>26390853
The megaplier costs $1 extra so it's $3 a ticket

>$2 for regular ticket
>$3 with multiplier
>$1.50 for Just The Jackpot (not available in all states).

T-thanks.

>>26381637
I hope you win as well. Good luck

>>26390394
Too much instability to take the money over 30 years, biggest issue is changes in taxes, top federal taxes are low right now but will go up every time a Democrat is president. Better off taking the hit now and reinvesting what you get.

>>26380459
Old people win the lottery because they don't masturbate

I got 10
if i win i made a plan
I'm going to make a /biz/ coin and give us all free tokens
then i'm going to take a big fiat dump inside it and watch it go up millions of millions and let you guys fight for selling
the day i do this i will keep a secret
to the few anons that didn't sell.. i'll give them something even greater
respect

>>26391120
I am going to make it.

If anyone wins you have got to buy all of us a house
Like 20-40k dollar house

>>26391576
I will if I win, I promise.

>>26391576
and in every house they must hire professional smudging brappers to clear negative energy

>>26390462
Have you won yet?

>the dude telling people to spend hundreds of dollars on this

>>26391306
>if i win
>>26391671
>if I win

will i be able to buy a ticket tomorrow if nobody wins tonight?

The lotto, now that was a good scam that one.

I'm already a millionaire off $CLF. Been in that one since $4, am waiting for $50. Just look at what $GME did today

Spent $100 on tickets today. Wish me luck boys

>>26380050
$2 for a chance to win $1 billion, I'll take that bet any time of the day even if it's miniscule. Someone will win, but certainly not with 0% (aka not taking the chance, you'll slap yourself in the face when you see the numbers and you think to yourself, there's a chance some computer could've spat them out for you, if only you tried).

>>26379924
Wait WTF I read this thread thinking it was about the LOTTO token airdrop. Only now realizing that anons are talking about the normie boomer lottery.

>>26392946
I can't tell if you're memeing but I love it

>>26393567
Powerballs is worth 20m, megamillioums is worth 1b

>>26394457
Powerball is undervalued, get in now faggots!

>>26394457
It’s true

>>26379924
wait what happened with that posting your eth link shit, what i do now

>>26394827
Kek I thought this was the crypto shit, it's just boomer talk here

>>26383374
ngl this chart is triggering me.... wouldn't stacked be better, since proportions end up at 100

The lottery is a tax on stupid people and a scam used to launder money

>>26394485
kek

No, but 2 acres are marked JQnWM4T5 :^)

If it's that high, how has nobody found a way to cheat? There could be no greater motivation.

>just spend $60k to have a 1:10,000 chance of winning

>>26397253
if you pool with other rich people it makes sense. imagine a group of 100 millionaires who all drop $60,000 on tickets and agree to split it 100 ways

they now have a 1 in 10 chance of winning 1,000,000 for the measly gamble of 60k which is nothing to them

obviously this only makes financial sense if the jackpot is big enough, which right now it is

Imagine no one wins tonight
Imagine no one wins for the next two or three weeks and the jackpot gets so high that even after the one time split and even after the 40 something percent taxes they also steal from you the one time payout is still one billion dollars.

>>26397442
i mean, if it weren't for taxes, it'd technically be profitable to buy all 340-some million possible combinations of digits at $2 apiece.

did someone already win or nah

>>26397442
>>26398008
you would still have negative EV because if there are multiple winners you have to split the pot

i lost

I bought a couple of ticket and 3 $20 scratchers. 2 of them were winners. I won a total of $5k. Not bad for an impulse buy

>>26391179
I'll lobby to take over the county its in, and bribe or extort the officials, or eject them from office with my own Manchurian candidates and lower the effective property tax to no more than $800 a year, all for you; assuming I've won. I have quite a number of tickets to go through but I'll let you know the results in an hour or two.

>>26387006
you rolled a five and a one

Lotto Coin is the only lottery I care about. Airdrop next week. Why pay a voluntary tax to the state?

>>26385972
no, the first rule is to talk to lawyers, form an LLC, and claim your winnings anonymously

>>26399193
The trust defers winnings and can be subject to double taxation depending on the state from my understanding.

A toast, gentlemen. Hopefully one of us won, the BILLION. I shall be checking my tickets soon and will report back. It has been an honor posting with you tonight.

sucks but that's the price you pay to not have your life get ruined over your new money

>>26399488
imagine being mad about being half a billionaire

>>26399046
>>26399830
UPDATE: I did not win the jackpot but new details have since been made public. Gentlemen, I receive official record that the winning ticket was sold in the (formerly great state of) Michigan. If one of you are from there, check your numbers immediately. Thank you all for playing. No more lottery tickets for me for a while until the EV becomes positive again.

>>26382998
Doubtful you still get money even if you only get a few numbers right.

>>26382998
I might have won $200 and some smaller prizes so it wasn't that bad of a loss overall. I'll check again in the morning.

I won $2!!

Both times I have ever played the lottery, I have won. I’d say I have a pretty good track record. Now I only won $4 and $2, but a win is a win :p

Whether or not a company succeeds largely lies on the competency of the founder and their dedication, scratch tickets and lottos are pure chance at an up front price. You can't get better at playing random chance, you can improve upon and act out your skills will factors you yourself control
And before you get any ideas, no faggot, crypto is not gambling, you control the likelihood of turning a profit through research and focus
