no, the lottery is just a tax on poor people. the expected value is negative.

No, I don't even have 300 dollars left to my name, you honestly believe you can win that?
It's likely rigged anyway.

Hey, OP..
I buy anywhere from 10,000-50,000 tickets at a time for the powerball. There is no way you will win. Sorry.

>> No.49906966

>>49906338
Expected value isn't always negative. When the jackpot carries over due to lack of winners the expected value can easily go positive.

It allows you to dream, even though the odds are like 1 in 292,201,338. That's why when I buy lottos, I always buy at the end of a drawing so that I can maximize the amount of time I have to dream before the next one :)

You dumb motherfucker, your expected value goes down the more tickets you buy
Same reason don’t you buy two tickets with the same number.

>>49906326
Yes. 30 tickets per draw for a decent chance which is where the expected value becomes breakeven/positive depending on the prize value. If you're getting 30 tickets per draw it should only take you ~25 draws to win.

I do not even play the lottery and hours ago, I had a dream that I hit 5 out of 6 numbers on mega millions (only missed the mega ball by 1) and I called my mom to tell her. Woke up annoyed.

That statement truly applies in america. In Europe chances of winning the lottery are significantly better.

>> No.49913369

>>49906647
Even if you win, statistically you're more likely to end up poor then rich if you get the money. I think it's at least like a 3/4 chance that you end up losing/spending all of it over time.

Winning this powerball lottery is my DESTINY. I have visualised myself cashing in my winning ticket at the lottery office, and all the hot sex with the beautiful, blonde women that I will have once I am a man of wealth. It will be the perfect revenge on the society that has made my life so torturous thus far
