I knew I was always destined for great things. This must be it! I was destined to be the winner of the highest lottery jackpot in existence. I knew right then and there that this jackpot was meant for me. Who else deserved such a victory? I had been through so much rejection, suffering, and injustice in my life, and this was to be my salvation. With my whole body filled with feverish hope, I spent $700 dollars on lottery tickets for this drawing. As I spent this money, I imagined all the amazing sex I would have with a beautiful model girlfriend I would have once I become a man of wealth.

Hi Elliot Rodger

>> No.1912499

Usually I buy 1 Eurojackpot on friday (2.5 Euros - the jackpot now is 60 million Euros) and buy two tickets on my country's lottery on Saturday (under 1 Euro/ticket, the jackpot is now is over 1 million Euros).

To be honest I give myself this chance because I started to use the Law of Attraction in the last few months and it works for me in my day to day life. I see that <5 euro/week as it is, only a game and I enjoy playing it and visualizing what I will do with the money. If you play the lottery and feel bad when you don't win, you're doing it wrong.

I don't invest in lottery tickets, I buy the smallest amount of them that gives me the dream.

$20/month on quick pick 2/10 rounds of Mega Millions, and I only buy that like 3 times a year...

why don't you just take your 5 euros to a roulette wheel. If you keep winning, you'll become a millionaire and its way more likely than you winning the lottery.


or better yet, just invest that money instead? would you have fun seeing yourself develop a nestegg and tangible returns?
