Well… I didn't win it, again. Nobody has won it tho, and third time is the charm.
That being said, any other wizzies trying their luck and fantasizing about winning the lottery? Would you like to win the lottery at all? How would you deal with your newfound wealth and fame? My favorite pastime is to daydream and since I've been daydreaming about this all day everyday for a few days I thought I'd make a thread.

The chance of winning is so astronomically low that you might as well throw the money into the toilet.
No matter how many times you try, you are not going to win. Ill say it again, you are NOT going to win. Quit while sunk-cost is still bearable.

I don't play because I know how math works, that said like every person that has been poor I didn't daydream about what I would do if I came into a fortune such as a lottery pot.
Mostly it would be buy house, pay off parents house, then buy assests such as land/real estate/investment products/etc and live a mostly modest life on the income generated from the assets while using the leftover cash to fund some once in a lifetime passion project.

It's still hope. That alone makes playing the lottery worth it, even if you never end up winning any significant amount.

And because of this way of thinking this is how millions of people just give away their money for nothing, feeding some jobless tycoon under the curtain.
I know it's hope: that's the lure.

Actually a lot of that money partially funds programs for the community. Like back where I used to live the door to door bus/van service for the disabled was partially funded with lottery money.
Totally private companies and individuals aren't even legally allowed to run lotteries.
Shit, a month ago a swat team was brought in to break up a church bingo hall that had a small raffle that legally counted as a lottery.

It makes all the difference to someone with a delutionally massive ego and delusions of grandeur that just aren't being validated by reality despite his incompetent attempts.
It is rather sad that those mumkey Jones vids aren't still up because they actually went into detail about his mindset and why not personally being wealthy upset him. He basically wanted his own fame, validation, and money, rather then just the leftovers from his father who was starting to not give in to his every increasingly petty and absurd demands. Not being in control or getting exactly what he wanted, when he wanted, and how he wanted it would cause him comical levels of rage and resentment directed towards everyone and every thing other then himself.
I don't think you understand how much of a narcissist he Elliot was.

You can find reuploads of a lot of Mumkey's vids on YouTube. Elliot wanted more than his $600/month allowance would allow him. He was convinced that he needed a mansion and a lambo to get laid even though his expensive clothes and BMW did nothing to help his cause.

Although it says 70% return rate and 1 in 3 chance of winning it feels more like a 40% return rate with 1 in 10 chance of winning.

if you are just buying one or to here are there then it is statistically possible to have a bad run of luck that seem worse then general odds.

I buy lottery tickets occasionally. I know it’s a waste of money but I already save a lot of my income and it's a nice diversion sometimes. But I get just as much enjoyment from imagining winning without actually buying a ticket, and the chance of winning is practically the same whether you buy a ticket or not.

Every time there is a thread on any chan about the lottery it is always filled with assholes who sneer at people "wasting" money on the lottery (as if £5 a week is a huge deal), you can say that with just about any consumer hobby (drinking, fashion, netflix, etc). But it is harmless fun if you don't play seriously and keep control over your spending.
Euromillions is £105m this friday, I think I will buy two tickets, my usual numbers and a lucky dip. I enjoy daydreaming about what I would do as well. I would absolutely stay anonymous, you can do that in the UK, I doubt I would even tell all of my family. I would then buy 12 acres of land in the country and build my dream home and workshed. I would obviously never work again, instead I would spend about 6 months a year just tinkering in my shed, feeding my chickens, pottering around in my large garden and vegetable patch, and getting fit in my indoor pool/gym. I would likely hire a gardener and cleaner to do most of the menial work, but I can more than afford to pay them well with £105 million. Much of the rest of the year I would spend travelling. I would take my family around the world; my mother and I have both dreamed of doing classic grand tour journeys such as taking the Orient Express to Venice, or sailing to New York on an ocean liner, or cruising up the Nile and Amazon, or going round the world in 180 days, etc. Certainly, the journeys we would take would be far grander than the annual Ryanair to Spain for a week. I would finally buy a holiday home near where my brother lives in Spain, so we can all winter there and be close to other family.
I know all this will almost certainly never happen, but thinking about it is a fun way to pass the time in work.

I play it sometimes, even if it is a waste of money. I really should invest my money, though.

Honestly, the only reason I haven't bought a doll yet is it would be money I'd otherwise spend on lottery this year.
I usually bought lottery tickets at supermarket and CVS vending machines, but most of those aren't working, or the store unplugged them to prevent crowds or lines. Been going into random liquor stores and gas stations when they're empty or one other person, and they don't seem to mind me coming in just to buy lottery tickets, as long as I have on a mask while inside.

no because i saw firsthand my parents, uncles, and relatives all waste their fucking money all my childhood on lotto tickets and scratch off. like fuck you could have just saved that money and bought me clothing and toys or videogames, or just bought decent food with it. so yeah i think gambling is a weird addictive poison against poor people

I like how this thread pops up when there's a big prize in the euromillions. Anyway, I would be scared of winning such a large prize like 110 million, I would rather have the default 15 million. 110 million will make me paranoid (more than I already am) and more fearful (more than I already am).
Yeah I buy 2 tickets per week. It's my only hope. Even if you're a good little wagecuck and invest $1000/month into an index fund for 40 years straight you'll still be barely above poor so there's no harm in spending pocket change on lotto tickets.
>>172053
There's this thing in my country - it could be the same everywhere for all I know - where they systematically pick a ticket that's been sold or sometimes more and there's a relatively decent prize for the winner(s). So it probably makes more sense to play when the prize is lower, less advertised and it can be expected tbat less tickets will be sold. The odds are still abysmal but if you are going to sink money into it you might as well do it somewhat cleverly.

I work at a store that does lottery and you have better chances of winning on scratcher tickets then lotto numbers. You get like 70 bucks or something back from getting lucky, or maybe 3k. But lotto numbers I never see anyone win more than 10 or 20 dollars back, and they spent 10 dollars or so on it in the first place so they're just breaking even most of the time.

No, statistically your likelihood of winning is tremendously low and even if you did win, you'd probably have to deal with the hassle of outing all the duplicitous troglodytes around you (who you may have previously thought to be associates at least) now pressuring you or even trying to take physical/legal/social action to appropriate your winnings.
Granted, you could conceivably just cut contact with them and make them regret any physical action they tried to take with your own physical action, but it's an additional issue to deal with either way. I don't care if people do use the lottery though, their money so it's up to their jurisdiction. I can't lie though, it saddens me a bit to see people waste all their earnings on sixty identical gold plated yachts or cars or other redundant bling when they could feasibly live as NEETs for the rest of their lives with the best quality of life for whatever their habits are too.

I wouldn't feel comfortable having almost a billion dollars to my name. I'd be completely happy with only a few million instead, just enough to never worry about being without food, water and shelter (the only things that truly matter) again.

i dont get the argument that 'the chances of winning are so small that you are better off not betting anything'. i think people are forgetting that life is finite and therefore a life changing event like winning the lottery is valued infinitely more than if we lived forever and it made sense to plan long term. especially when you factor youth into it, id rather take a one in a trillion chance to live as a god for 20 years than suffer in poverty for the rest of my life

That is how the lottery system works, it's a predatory organization designed to suck money from unintelligent people who are willing to risk it for the slightest chance of winning and it has the effect of making the vast majority of players more poor and enhancing their suffering. They're giving the sickness, the idea that you can suddenly become rich and alleviate all your problems, and selling a false cure.
It's a sucker bet any way you cut it. If you want to gamble on the off chance of striking it rich, buy cryptocurrency, short-dated options, or just high risk/reward stocks since your odds of a good payoff are much higher. The lottery is particularly bad because of how slanted it is towards huge jackpots worth hundreds of millions or even billions, but most people would be happiest with enough to cover their basic needs which requires much less. This amount can be as low as a few hundred thousand for people with good financial sense who are willing to invest it and live off the return.

you need money to make money, which poor people (shockingly!) don't have, while a lottery ticket is only a couple bucks.

Most people who play the lottery don't just buy a few tickets per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the average American spends $70 per month on lottery tickets. People earning less than $30,000 spend about 13% of their income on tickets on average. That amount is enough to gain large sums of money with crypto or stocks if you get lucky or are particularly skilled, and the likelihood of that is much higher than the lotto or slot machines. I don't necessarily condone gambling, but if you're going to do it don't be extremely retarded about it.

They'd have way more money if they didn't waste it on poor shit, I'm poor too and still live with parents but I learnt the hard way not to waste even small amounts of money. Alchohol, smoking and lottery are too expensive by far, especially in Australia where I live, I overheard one normie talking and she said her husband used to spend more than 19000 a year on lottery tickets, alcohol/beer and smoking. I earn way less that that myself. Normgroids spend money like its water. They're way too wasteful. I onced tried the lottery scratchies tickets once, when I was curious about them and felt lucky, spent 20 dollars and got about 12 back, wasn't worth it for me. Sure I only wasted 8 dollars, but if I spend hundreds on lottery the losings would grow to be hundreds and it would impact my poverty even more, even worse if I got addicted, which I think normgroids do, as gambling addiction is a thing.

I really don't like the idea of winning it. It's a lot of money together earned from nothing, I don't know what I would do with so much money, I don't know where to invest it, or what to do with it.

Put it in dividend giving ETFs that are recommended by a financial advisor that has a good track record then live off the dividends after inflation and tax until you make up your mind.

No lottery but I did $1600 on slots in Vegas in February. It'll make you feel pretty good for the next 24 hours. Free drinks and hotel room for me.
