More tickets, the better.

Example for jackpot prize.

1 MM = 1/300,000,000
10 MM = 1/30,000,000
100 MM = 1/3,000,000


50-100 tickets is the best buying range. This is why old rich people usually win the lottery. As they saying goes, go big or go home. Cash 4 Life and Lotto America have the least negative rate of return if you have $100 a week to throw at it.

If you value life past 60 or plan on filing for social security disability at an early age, don't play. If you don't and have the money, go for it.

It's negative expected value but not as bad a bet as people think. It's a variance thing.

Like everything in life, it's about balance. The true redpill is that lotto tickets should be played as an investment. Powerball tickets cost $2. If you buy one per month that's $24 a year for a chance to win 9 figures. You'd be stupid not to play at least once a month or once per gas station visit. Just don't be a retard and spend $100s a month on them.

I buy one ticket at the grocery store whenever I get groceries. Continues the tradition of getting a little something for fun, like some candy out of the quarter machines.
Nobody hates a scratchy ticket, either; they're more fun than your traditional greeting card.

Your best chance is to put all your money into one gamble because of variance.

Even a respectable 15% of income invested in a matched 401k isn't going to yield much more than 2 million by the time you are 60. I'd rather be throwing my money away at the remote chance of hitting it big and be wealthy while young even though I'm doing both. After a while you realize life is a crapshoot.

What are putts and options?

Bucket shops have better odds than lotto, except you can claim a loss on your taxes if the chance of making large money literally depend on a miracle.
Fucking pathetic mindset is the real reason you will never win the lotto and you will never win at life.
