So if you and someone else wins it, you'll break even (before taxes). And you'll have a tax bill for income of around $500 million. congrats!

>> No.50605463

your chances to win (with a single ticket) is roughly 1 in 302.5 million
even if you bought 500 usd worth of tickets you did nothing but fuel the jackpot

I mean, I'll get that money back if I win. I've spent close to two thousand dollars on this round of Mega Millions, and close to nine grand on the lottery this year. and I'll probably throw another grand at buying lottery tickets before the draw this Friday. I might be increasing the jackpot, but that only helps me when I win because it will be bigger.

i think most people have never played a financial game they can actually win in their entire lives. investment returns seem random and unsatisfying even though the odds of "winning" are good. if everyone knew the joy of finding and predicting a rare event like the 2017 bullrun, they probably would quit gambling.

While there really is retards that think they can actually "play" the lottery, most are just spending pocket change once a week to basically go "lmao spin wheel".

Most intrinsically know that it has a negative EV (and not every negative EV event is necessarily financially "bad", there are people that seem to forget that EV is a data compression function)

Well, that's the basics.
But you can not put all the money in the lottery.
The fact is that the lottery is a fuck-up, most of the crypto projects are too.

To find a good project that clearly promises something useful to society or at least in the crypto industry that is interesting or new is very difficult.
