You idiots act like people are saying the odds are in their favor
Unless you buy these habitually or with a decent % of your income everyone will be fine

Don’t spend more than you can afford to lose.
Have you idiots done the odds on a crypto doing a 1000x?
Because I actually have, just like I’ve looked at the odds on these lottos.
Both crypto “investing” and buying crap like lotto tickets is degen gambling

I'm amazed by the amount of retards in this thread. Sure I guess if you spend 2 bucks once or twice a year. But how are so many of you saying
>doesnt matter if the odds are astronomical, everyone that has won had those odds so that justifies buying a ticket
There are so many things I dont know where to start, gambling addictions aside. Some of you guys are actually implying the worse the odds, that's just even more of a reason to buy a ticket because someone has to win and that someone could be you!
Why does this feel like an ad campaign? Has the mean /biz/ intelligence fallen even lower? There is unironic nigger logic ITT and any challenge to these statements is being met with ad-hom or just pics of le nazi incel chud pics.

What the fuck, lotto has got to be the lowest tier or gambling.. you almost can't even call it gambling. Just wipe your ass with the $2, at least that has some utility and isnt a total waste

Have YOU looked at the odds of winning?
>To start with, your chance of winning the grand prize is minuscule, at one in 302.5 million. You have better odds of a smaller payoff, such as winning $1 million for matching five regular numbers but missing the Mega Ball. But even that is one in 12.6 million
Yeah there's a fuck load of crypto but there's not 302 million different tokens. Hell I bet there isn't even a million. You literally have better odds picking a random crypto and crossing your fingers.

its like your papa had a gambling addiction and raped your sister is that why you hate this so much?

Ok listen up you fuckwit.
You know roulette right? Its the game with the circle and the ball and the ball lands on the number you chose you win.
Now imagine there are 320 MILLION numbers in the circle and if the ball lands on the right one then you win.
Would you place a bet?
