Insane Lottery games $$$

Megamillions draw tomorrow has a top prize of $1.1 BILLION (yes--with a B) and tonight's Powerball is $900 Million. With that amount of money at stake, I hope the FTC or whatever agency is responsible for oversight is keeping a close watch. Remember the McDonald's game fix and that was only $24 million.
Yes--I bought a ticket. You absolutely cannot win if you don't. If I ever won, I have an old high school pal who is an estate lawyer set up a trust fund for me.

The lottery is a tax on the stupid. My fifth grade science teacher taught me that. What's your excuse, Wolftard?

I bought a ticket. If I win, I'm paying Trump's bond in Screwy's name.

I can't remember the last time I bought a lottery ticket. YEARS ago. However, I have zero issue with the occasional lottery purchase during these spikes in prize winnings. $5 on a lottery ticket isn't going to hurt ya every few months, unless of course it puts a dent in your laundromat coinage.

It's when I happen to be in a convenience store and there is someone who is purchasing a stack of tickets, not even for powerball but rather just the basic lottery that gets me. The stupidity floats like a wet fart in the store.

C’mon, Screwy. You gotta admit that would be damn funny.

As often as I go to Florida, I may have bought a ticket once.

But even if I never buy one, Alabama needs to get a lottery set up soon. People are buying tix in FL, GA, TN, and MS anyway. Need to keep some money here to fix our own shit.

I play when they get to $750 mill or so these days.
$2 waste of $? Perhaps. Could I do worse? Yes.
The $2 gives me ten or fifteen minutes to day dream.
If I ever win, I will kick a little t1b's way. Maybe throw
an epic party somewhere, fly folks in and teach them
how to bbq right.

This^^^^.

I agree that the lottery is gambling for people that are bad at math, but I do fall victim to the occasional 5 dollar drop just for the fun of playing “what if”.

But when I see that poor fukking sap at the convenience store handing over $$$$ he really can’t afford, it is kind of depressing.
