They do, you are just retarded.

>>15760430
You didn't go back far enough. If it hit a mere $1 million jackpot every 3000 years, you're well ahead.

>>15760430
The trick is to pick your numbers then NOT buy a ticket. Then you get all the thrill of the draw, except when your numbers come up it's bad, and when they don't come up, it's good and you celebrate.

>>15760597
I dont have 3000 years

>>15760430
There's a reason why lottery tickets are called taxes for the poor.

>>15760430
>Why dont they teach this math in schools?
they did, the first time I ever heard of a "stupid tax" it was my math teacher talking about the lotto

>>15760430
>>15760430
>Why dont they teach this math in schools?
I get you are one of the anti-science posters in this board LMAO
Look up "combinatorics".

>>15761547
>"combinatorics"
No one ever taught that in my high school

Those powerball are up to 725 million and I want that money

I dont want to be poor anymore

what do?

>>15762808
Get a job. Any job.
Work for a year, then apply for a job higher up.
Repeat until you make decent money.

>>15762808
Spend it all on scratchoffs obviously

>>15762888
And use that money to buy lottery tickets?

I want to have enough money to buy airplanes but I dont want to have to work super hard or think too much , that was the whole point of buying lottery tickets in the first place.
I have been at this for nearly a year and no money at all has come in

I am getting pretty frustrated at this point to be perfectly honest

bump

>>15763089
See >>15761538

>>15763274
Then what is the path to my airplanes?

>>15763525
lol
lmao

>>15763976
Why is that funny?

>>15764314
You're either underage, mentally handicapped or delusional.
Either way, I'll entertain your foolish question: there is no possible way for you to achieve your dreams.

Well, that's not strictly true. You could always do crime.
But then again, considering your intellect you'll most definitely land in prison after your first attempt.

>>15760430
>Only a retard would buy a lottery ticket
Bingo. Accurate conclusion.

>t $10 monopoly scratch off enjoyer

>>15764361
>You could always do crime
:(

>>15764403
Reality sucks at the moment.
Have you tried some of the various forms of escapism?
VR tech has gotten pretty decent, you should get the Meta Quest 3 when it comes out.

If you won the lottery, what would be the first 3 things you'd do with your newly found wealth?

>>15764961
I would plant cover crops in arid regions of the USA
As many acres as the money would allow

bumep

>>15760434
Nowadays they teach them how to lube their assholes and ride a huge black dong.

>>15764940
VR makes half the population sick and some even vomit. It will never be mainstream.

Uh-huh.

>>15765781
>something that happened happened
>therefore my sci-fi fantasy will happen
Mental-illness-tier argument.

>>15765781
only a small percentage gets sick on plane
No one rides boats or trains anymore

Wondering if OP played Powerball back in the early to mid-90s?
>$1 tickets
>far fewer numbers
>semi-reasonable payouts when you matched 2 or 3 balls
>it was actually fun and you felt like you had a chance

How on Earth did they turn it so retarded? Enjoyed your post, OP.

>>15765947
>How on Earth did they turn it so retarded?
They realized that the people buying tickets were so fucking stupid that the odds did not matter

>>15760430
>Only a retard would buy a lottery ticket

>>15766332
Its not right for them to feed on us ;_;

ITT: people congratulating each other on how smart they are while inadvertently giving away their psychological malformation leading to measuring every outcome in monetary amounts. must be a subculture or something.

>>15766885
>Understanding every relationship is fundamentally transactional no matter how mutually beneficial is emotional malformation
Mkay, back to humanities with you

>>15766889
your greentext is word salad.

>>15766898
>Psych major can’t read

I do power ball sometimes when it is super high since it is basically a donation.

If I won, I'd set up a not profit research center for health research and wholesale drugs.

It would be so cool.

>>15761538
Taxes for the stupid*. Taxation on RETARDED people.
Give me R
Gimme E
give a T
Gib an A
Give me R
And now a D
Retard

I know that it's a dumb idea to play the lottery, but I'm desperate to escape my life of poverty, so I do it anyway. Maybe luck will be kind to me.

>>15767305
Actually, I you're rich you have a much higher chance at winning because you can afford to buy more tickets.

>>15760430
Lottery and tobacco acts as retard taxes.

>>15767334
Do you even pray for money?

>>15767525
No, I don't believe in God.

>>15767534
that's antisemitic

>>15767534
Weak

>>15764961
Buy more lottery tickets for infinite money.

>>15761538
All taxes are taxes for the poor.

>>15767591
I'm sure that sounded much smarter in your head.
I hope you have a nice day/night, wherever you are.
Please check your surroundings.

A single lottery ticket once in a while (less than quarterly) is not a tax on stupidity.
It's a tax on hope.
Ask anyone who has ever worked in an office.

A couple of mathematicians figured out how to make bank on the Massachusetts state lottery via expected value and its odd roll down system, earning more than they put in.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TJesgv3YOf8

Is there some mathematical formula to increase your chances of winning in other state lotteries

>>15764961
1. invest the first third in tech index stocks.
2. invest the next third in resource index stocks.
3. invest the last third in stable general index stocks.

>>15769273
wouldnt you just invest in more lottery tickets?

>>15769273
Your mom buys tech index stocks

>>15760711
if I lost the jackpot this way I would kill myself and everybody around me

>>15760430
>Thats 780 plays costing $1560 and giving me back $83
You could do the same for coffee. Or for cigarettes, stuff that are way more expensive and harmful than lottery. Or for anything else really, apart from the basic sustenance stuff. At the end of the day, people are free to choose to spend their money on whatever they want to. And does it really matter? Would an extremely frugal life be desirable? Never smoking, not even at a party, never drinking, never sitting down with a friend for a coffee?
Plus, statistics is a curious thing. While your chance to win the lottery is indeed infinitesimal, someone eventually always wins the jackpot every now and then. Why take away the hope from people with these numbers? Why bother convincing them that they are unlikely to be that specific person? If you'd tell this to every single person who buys lottery, you'd be wrong at least 4-5 times a year. And the few who are lucky are most certainly not retards, not unless they manage to burn through their fortune in their lifetimes...

>>15770509

Ok but nobody else better play them, I need the whole prize for my plans

>>15760430
They literally explain to you on the lottery ticket itself what the odds are. It's required by law.

>>15764961
buy some random house at some random location and ignore the world

>>15774512
No one understands that goble gook

>>15774530
You dont want any friend ?

Do schools not teach permutation and combination anymore?

>>15775434
Not in the USA
I dont even know what that is

Not one number of mines was even close.
Now its 925 million which just makes me want to play even more ;_;

Those actually look pretty good

>>15760430
this is a you problem
nobody can protect you from the delusion that a business is somehow giving away free money

>>15779723
What?
That is exactly the business model , giving away money to the people that win
Do you think they just hire actors to play winners?

>>15779820
As a matter of fact...

>>15779950
