If buy a ticket, your chance of winning is greater than 0.

If you don't buy a ticket, your chance of winning is 0.

You autistic retards ever think people don't buy it because they think its an investment but just because its fun?

You are not different, crypto is a form of gambling. We change our money for hope and dreams

>> No.13975418

thats the problem with investing in it. it's fun and it might actually pay you back, but it never really changes your life. mwahahahahaha. i'm not autistic just really stupid but i'll still buy them. I have a bunch of them sitting around, and some are just sitting there on reddit, i'll try and trade them up. thing is, in fact, every time any kind of random jackpot ticket is given out, i see a person buying or losing, you shouldn't trust any lottery ticket for any reason, no matter how much money it has, and i've seen a ton of people get robbed for it but that's it.

I make money off of crypto and I'm a complete amateur. The lottery is pure luck and the house is rigged to always win.

Send my 1 to 5 dollars every time you want to daydream about a better life. Same chance of winning lots of money as buying (((lottery))) tickets

How many of you have bought a $4 beer at a bar that you didn't really want to drink, or need? How much value did you get from that $4? Imagine buying 4 lotto for a month, one per weekend. Imagine fantisizing about being rich now that it's technically possible. I'd take a month of fantasy over a single bottle of over priced piss water any day. What you don't do is think of it like a career and spend more than a bottle of beer.
