Well fuck… it appears that I did not win the Mega Millions jackpot, or anything.
You'll probably have better luck going to the casino and playing the games there or betting on sports. I remember seeing a betting website where you can bet on anything, but I forgot the name and you'll probably have better luck there too. When I used to work night shift the other slaves used to roll dice and bet money and even gambling like that probably has better odds than a 1/ trillion chance mega jackpot millions lottery.

Even though it has the worst odds of any US lottery game, I play it for the sliver of hope that I could start the weekend with extreme financial freedom

Idiot tax.
Just buy one ticket- maybe two to double your odds. If you are meant to win you will win, no point in buying a wad of them.

The lottery is a money sink. If you want to buy a ticket or two a week/month, whatever. It's a chance to win lots of money, but not a guarantee. Even stocks are more of a guarantee to make millions than the lottery

Anyone else make a point of buying lottery tickets far from home? I stopped buying them at my neighborhood supermarket and liquor store since {{{if I win}}} I'll still be going there until I can buy my own house and have it ready to move in, and then everyone will remember me as that guy who won the lottery and constantly beg for money.
The only people I know who won the lottery was a group of fifty or so guys at work who pooled all their money every week to buy tickets, then they finally won and split it fifty something ways and everyone got a cool 5g. The lottery can only be won by groups, psychics and time travelers.

was thinking about buying a ticket but belived it unlikely that the winning ticket would be anywhere near me. When I found out the winning ticket showed up in south carolina thousands of miles away, glad I didnt waste time to venture out into the cold to buy one. if the winning ticket appeared down the street, i think id probably neck myself

But currently they are almost the same lottery game. Both cost $2 for each entry, the Powerball is 5 of 69 numbers and 1 of 26 Power Balls, the Mega Millions is 5 of 70 numbers and 1 of 25 Mega Balls. Used to be the Mega Millions had less worse odds and cost only a dollar, but then they were like how can we even compete with Powerball, let's double the price and make it worst odds of any lotto game. And sure enough, a year after the game change there was that 1.6 Billion jackpot last October, something only Powerball had one time in January 2016.

Nobody won. The jackpot was $625 Million and now climbed to $750 Million. When the Mega Millions hit $1 Billion last October, the previous jackpot was $667 Million. So now Powerball could easily climb to a billion, even within the next 4 days before the draw on Wednesday. However, I have noticed that the jackpots this run of Powerball have been growing more slowly, quite possibly because the Mega Millions jackpot that topped out at just under $1.6 Billion last year is fresh in memory of the frequent American lottery player, who wasted lots of money on that final draw, and the few before it, now less people are playing because it seems hopeless and a waste, or buying less tickets since the odds may as well be impossible, and if you're gonna waste money on lotto, might as well just get 2 tickets than the 20 you did last time.

I would honestly fear winning the lottery since I feel as though some gigantic tidal wave of bad luck would immediately follow. It goes back to that whole "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction" kind of thinking. I wouldn't even know what to do with it all except let it rot in a bank account somewhere after maybe giving some to charity, buying some electronics and a few nice meals.

Bank account isn't rot. If you're frugal, once you collect enough it increases faster than you withdraw. But I totally get what you mean by the action reaction thing.

Didn't anybody here read Elliot Rodger's manifesto?
He basically went insane buying lottery tickets, driving across different states to take part in different lotteries, all in a mad pursuit to get the 'golden ticket' that was going to fix all the problems in his life. If he could just have money, he would be able to have x, and do y, and be z, and all sorts of things. It was clear that the fact he believed these things made him so mentally unstable and ill that even if he did win he would completely fail to find any peace (which, of course, he would never have done to even if he blew a thousand lifetimes worth of his money).
I haven't been coming here very long, but I think you will all agree with me that Elliot Rodger was very un-wizardly, and that should give you good reason to suspect that a desperate desire to win the lottery is the same. Not to mention the fact that it is clearly a facile desire for material gain, which is clearly a normie thing.
I realise that some of you might believe this is different because it is a desire to fund the ultimate ascetic neet lifestyle, and so the ends justify the means. Well, I reject the idea that neetdom is a necessary property of wizardhood. It seems to me that being a wizard is about having a stoic perspective on life, seeing the world as it really is and getting without the need of others. If you are rich, this might amount to finding solitary activities to keep the mind stimulated as you pass the time. If you are poor, then this will involve finding a suitably wizardly job that minimises interactions with normies and which supports your independence. This idea that you can live at the expense of your parents, and therefore dependent on others, and then just put your hopes on something totally unrealistic, demonstrates that you are fundamentally dependent on people and detached from reality, where I think for a wizard it should be the other way around.
My final point, which is a technical one, is that lotteries are a negative net utility. Say you have a lottery between 10 people, who each put 1$ into a pot, which is then awarded to one person in a fair lottery. To work out the utility you multiply each dollar outcome by the probability that it will happen, and then add it all up at the end. In our example, the jackpot is 10$ which means you will have gain 9$. There is a one in ten chance of this happening, so the weighted utility of this outcome is 0.9 (divide by 10). The is also while is a 9 in 10 chance that you will lose $1, which means that the negative outcome has a utility of -0.9. Add these up, and the net utility is 0. What this means that if you and these 10 people keep playing this lottery into infinity you would be expected to average out at 0 dollars.
What happens when they take money out of the jackpot? Well, the net utility of the gamble becomes negative. Say they take 1$ out of the $10 dollar pot in the example. Then in the winning scenario you get $8, divided by the chance of that happening this has a utility of 0.8. But you still have a 9 in 10 chance of losing a dollar, so your negative outcome is still 0.9, giving you a net utility of -0.1. Then all the participants, as they continue to repeat the game, would be expected to lose on average of 10 cents per game. As you play this into infinity all the players lose infinite dollars, while the guy taking money out of the jackpot gets infinity rich.
Fundamentally, this demonstrates that any lottery where 100% of the proceeds are not returned to the players is a scam, and they usually taking some money out of the jackpot for charity. It also brings to light an interesting point: say you win lottery, and you get your $400m dollars, and then you use all that money to repeatedly play the lottery again. Unless the net utility is zero (or for some reason someone is putting extra money in) the expected result is that you will eventually lose all of your money. If someone with $400m cant be expected to make money out of the lottery reliably, then why would you expect to get anywhere with $38?
I appreciate it is something of an abstract point, but I think any wizard with an eye for mathematics should accept that buying a lottery ticket in fundamentally irrational (ignoring the fact that the positive outcome is not very wizardly anyway).
He basically went insane buying lottery tickets, driving across different states to take part in different lotteries, all in a mad pursuit to get the 'golden ticket' that was going to fix all the problems in his life. If he could just have money, he would be able to have x, and do y, and be z, and all sorts of things. It was clear that the fact he believed these things made him so mentally unstable and ill that even if he did win he would completely fail to find any peace (which, of course, he would never have done to even if he blew a thousand lifetimes worth of his money).
I haven't been coming here very long, but I think you will all agree with me that Elliot Rodger was very un-wizardly, and that should give you good reason to suspect that a desperate desire to win the lottery is the same. Not to mention the fact that it is clearly a facile desire for material gain, which is clearly a normie thing.
I realise that some of you might believe this is different because it is a desire to fund the ultimate ascetic neet lifestyle, and so the ends justify the means. Well, I reject the idea that neetdom is a necessary property of wizardhood. It seems to me that being a wizard is about having a stoic perspective on life, seeing the world as it really is and getting without the need of others. If you are rich, this might amount to finding solitary activities to keep the mind stimulated as you pass the time. If you are poor, then this will involve finding a suitably wizardly job that minimises interactions with normies and which supports your independence. This idea that you can live at the expense of your parents, and therefore dependent on others, and then just put your hopes on something totally unrealistic, demonstrates that you are fundamentally dependent on people and detached from reality, where I think for a wizard it should be the other way around.
My final point, which is a technical one, is that lotteries are a negative net utility. Say you have a lottery between 10 people, who each put 1$ into a pot, which is then awarded to one person in a fair lottery. To work out the utility you multiply each dollar outcome by the probability that it will happen, and then add it all up at the end. In our example, the jackpot is 10$ which means you will have gain 9$. There is a one in ten chance of this happening, so the weighted utility of this outcome is 0.9 (divide by 10). The is also while is a 9 in 10 chance that you will lose $1, which means that the negative outcome has a utility of -0.9. Add these up, and the net utility is 0. What this means that if you and these 10 people keep playing this lottery into infinity you would be expected to average out at 0 dollars.
What happens when they take money out of the jackpot? Well, the net utility of the gamble becomes negative. Say they take 1$ out of the $10 dollar pot in the example. Then in the winning scenario you get $8, divided by the chance of that happening this has a utility of 0.8. But you still have a 9 in 10 chance of losing a dollar, so your negative outcome is still 0.9, giving you a net utility of -0.1. Then all the participants, as they continue to repeat the game, would be expected to lose on average of 10 cents per game. As you play this into infinity all the players lose infinite dollars, while the guy taking money out of the jackpot gets infinity rich.
Fundamentally, this demonstrates that any lottery where 100% of the proceeds are not returned to the players is a scam, and they usually taking some money out of the jackpot for charity. It also brings to light an interesting point: say you win lottery, and you get your $400m dollars, and then you use all that money to repeatedly play the lottery again. Unless the net utility is zero (or for some reason someone is putting extra money in) the expected result is that you will eventually lose all of your money. If someone with $400m cant be expected to make money out of the lottery reliably, then why would you expect to get anywhere with $38?

>Not to mention the fact that it is clearly a facile desire for material gain
I just want enough money to live in the middle of nowhere and never contact anyone ever again. We aren't some normies who plan on blowing it all on booze and hookers, so fuck off mate.

Christopher Thomas Knight did just that and he didn't have any money at all. So fuck off mate.

Playing lottery is not logical, but it is fun, and there are lots of other things both wizards and normies waste their money on which are much worse imho. Playing lottery is very exciting entertainment, and that itself is the value I get from it even if I don't win.
I bought $20 Mega Millions tickets and a vanilla latte yesterday. Wish me luck.

Lotteries are pretty much a waste of money unless you have figured out some mathematical way of winning. So unless you are on the scale of this guy, don't bother with it.

If you still like gambling so much, it'd actually be better to learn how to play high stakes poker or something.

>that feel when you get excited walking past 7-11 on a nightwalk seeing the jackpot reset to 40.
But then check the results at home only to find it wasn't actually you who won

Only for those with so little brain that they NEED the structure of employment hours and a boss man telling them what to do, otherwise they end up writhing on the floor in their own waste no knowing what to do with themselves.

Why lottery is legal in the first place?
It's more probable to you be hit for some bus than winning this thing.

the lottery pisses me off, there needs to be separate stores for lotto players to get pay the idiot tax at. They hold up lines out the door if it gets bad enough with just one customer who wants a million flashy pieces of paper telling them they just flushed all their money down the toilet.

I play the lottery regularly, and managed to secure decent sums a few times. Nothing life changing, but twice I was able to NEET it up for a few years.
