^ Seriously the high brown lotto shitting gets old. Almost everyone knows its a pipe dream and nothing more than a cheap day dream. For casual players it is just like every other entertainment dollar you spend. On the plus side some of the cash gets put to good use. If you are not missing your car payment because you went nuts on lotto tickets its no biggie.

WFIW, I have had crazy older relatives who did go apeshit with lotto tickets and had to be reigned in by other family members. I'm not ignorant of how the lotto can be abused. I still think it's not such a bad deal.

Yeah, I guess your attitude is a huge factor though. For me, like, I know SOMEBODIES life is going to go ballistic, fucking crazytown. To adjust the song, I got $2 on it. :laughing

Also, dear god, our public schools are such garbage, please give cash.
 
where in the statistics of winning, that skews a person's thought process, that it will not likely be them but another ticket holder that is bound to win?
 
I don't know, dude. The odds of winning are so astronomical, i think considering winning is just a waste of time. If you want to play, you do it for a giggle, not any other reason.
 
whats crazy to me is this; the cat that won the 1.9m for getting 5 numbers on tuesday, he can actually keep his job at safeway due to the fact that amount would just buy a house in the bay area and not have any money left over. then again, that won't be happening since he's in his 20's,probably best to just whoop it up and share the wealth with friends and family....

You didn't specify upfront your principle of not gambling, therefore he had to guess.

Apparently, buying tickets is one way to fund public schools, therefore that poster does it for that reason (it is written earlier in the

If pooling is allowed, how many people would you guys be willing to pool with to increase your chances of winning?

Is there something blocking the formation of a service provider that could aggregate ticket purchasing and turn it in to a subscription model? :laughing :laughing

$10 buy in for $10M is my requirement. I'd be willing to pool up to that dilution level.
 
I throw in $4 bucks whenever the guys at the shop start collecting. No idea what the prize fund is up to, but I do it just to add funds to the pot. Like its been said, it's a cheap bit of fun.

Plus fuck being the only guy to show up to work the following Monday. Only time i play is when my coworkers have a pool. Not because i expect to win but because of how depressing it would be if they won and the only one who didn't play was me :laughing

And you keep getting postcards from them as they travel to foreign lands and eat exotic animals on luxury yachts. :laughing
 
I suppose if I was that putz who didn't pitch in on the lotto pool and nobody else showed up to work next Monday, at least I'd have a strong case for a big promotion.

Glass half full?
