POWERBALL

>>25615410
Go be stupid somewhere else please.

If only the Rodge was still alive to take part is this glorious event.

>>25615410
There is more of a chance of being struck by lightning than winning the lottery

billion dollars would buy a lot of hookers.

>>25615474
>>25615474
When it was only 500mil, the odds were one in 320 million.

Now that its doubled and everyone is playing, its probably closer to 1 in a billion to win.

Keep in mind, about 55% of it goes to taxes right away.

How do I buy a ticket? I never go outside and have some spare cash laying around.

>>25615410

>Jackpot gets high
>Dummies like OP let it blind them to the ridiculously small odds of winning
>Dummies like OP throw their money in the garbage by buying tickets
>Jackpot gets higher and the chances of winning get even smaller

It's kind of a brilliant scam actually. But it was pissing me off because yesterday at work everybody was putting money in an "office pool" to buy tickets, I was literally the only one who didn't and they all looked at me like I was crazy, talking about "how are you gonna feel when we win" and planning what they would do with the money "when" they won. I briefly tried to explain why I wasn't playing and why they weren't going to win (the insane odds) when one stupid bitch was like "stop putting negative energy out into the universe anon". Made me realize what morons I work with (in b4 wagecuck, yes I know).

>>25615707
>Keep in mind, about 55% of it goes to taxes right away.
Oh no. What ever will I do when they take 55% away... from my millions of dollars. How will I ever survive.

reminder that if you use quickpick you are a literal cuckold

>>25615792
Go to a gas station....do quick pick or pick your own numbers. You should do a combination of both though, sometimes the numbers are bizarre.

Well you were being negative. You didn't have to say anything. Just do your work and laugh to yourself at how stupid they are.

>>25615855
Well you are being kind of a bitch. Most people are well aware of how unlikely it is but you won't win if you don't even play.

>tfw there are rich people buying millions of tickets so a poor person doesn't have a chance at it

>>25615958
Well I know you have to go to a gas station but where would it be located in the gas station? I'd rather not waste the clerks time and ask and feel stupid for not knowing. Also how much are they?

>tfw after taxes here i'd only get $397,575,000
not worth it brahs TBQHWYF

I really wish I won. I think I deserve it more than anyone else in the world. I just recently got dumped by my qt pie gf and really feeling depressed. I just want to get revenge on all the people in my life that did me wrong and treated me like crap. What better revenge than winning 500 million dollars overnight. The first thing I would do is go on facebook and gloat my winnings , and than offer a million dollars to my "best friends" girlfriend for sex (had a huge crush on her for years). I'd go to the jobs of all my highschool bullys and laugh right in their faces. I'd go to my ex's house with a million dollar lambo and dance untop of it , taunting her. I would build a golden statue of myself in a popular area of my town and with the saying of how much better I am than the pathetic peasants who live here. I want my revenge robots, I want something good to happen to me for once.

>paying the idiot tax

>>25616005
They're up at the counter anon. You literally ask the teller to get you the tickets and then they'll ask you what numbers. That's when you should say "quick pick" as those are the randomly selected ones, unless you really want to pick your own numbers.

>>25616018

Everybody else that plays will be thinking along the same lines

has pasta potential though

>>25616005
There will be a lottery booth with a bunch of slips of paper. Find the powerball one. Fill in your numbers (5 white, 1 red) and bring it to the clerk. They'll print out a ticket with those numbers. Like I said though, you should do some quickpick as well, just ask for X number of quick picks. Each play costs 2 bucks.

>>25616011
Well that's if you get annuity which is retarded. You won't even see most of the money in your lifetime. cash value should be closer to 600 million. It's still a shit ton of money, just sayin.

>>25616018
>I think I deserve it more than anyone else in the world.

I feel the exact same way anon, and I can assure my life situation is a lot worse than "dumped by qt pie gf".

Do people usually have to scratch your ticket for the lottery? I never played before. I went to the store near me and asked the clerk for 10 lotteries and I think I got 10 lotteries but it gives instructions to scratch it.

i'd go $2,000. the kicker is that i really don't even give a shit if they say yes. i'd be spending the real money to fuck actual porn stars anyway.

>>25615410
If you don't buy at least 1 lottery ticket a month you are stupid.

Sure the chances are next to nothing, but for $1 or $2 (We have a few different lotteries here in Canada, dunno your prices really), the fact that the reward is so many orders of magnitude higher than the risk, it makes it worth just from the implied odds alone. You're risking $1 to potentially change your life, thats a good bet no matter how small the odds. Anymore than 1 ticket a month (or even year) doesn't really increase your chances at all, but you'd have to be stupid to not buy at least one.

>>25616099
Oh. Where'd the 55% come from? and why are you saying m8?

My friend brought up a good point in that you can't anonymize yourself if you do win. Which means, you're fucked if you win because people will rob you and harass you 24/7.

>>25615474
How will I get stuck by lightning if I don't leave my home? Checkmate, atheists.

>>25616123
I honestly don't know if she would do it for any amount. She has a great stable career job and only ever been with my friend. She is really conservative I believe. Plus she hates me and I might be considered gross to her. She would absolutely not do it for 2k. Maybe I should start out with 300k.

Also is doing this illegal? I don't want to get screwed by her trying to sue me for all my money for this. Just to be safe I think I would probably talk to my lawyer about this plan and see what he says.

>>25616173
Even if you spent 90% of that on a private military and a team of internet researchers and hired numedia manipulation companies youd still walk away a rich man, worth it desu.

With that much money you could burn out most medium businesses in length legal combat, let alone mysterious pregnant women youve never met before.

>>25616160
This

I buy one ticket a month, it costs near nothing and in return I get a tiny chance to win shitloads of money, which is laways better then nothing

>>25616173
naw, you just have to move to a nicer area of town with millionaires who dont care about your money. I did contract work for a couple people who won the lottery in my province, and they just lived by other millionaires/celebrities/politicians n shit and were never really bothered because no one there really cares about their money.

Also I highly doubt anyone will remember your face that well a year after you won. The only way strangers would know is if you tell them.

>>25616173
It's a scary thought, but I always wondered if I should move back to my small hometown where most people know me and probably wouldn't be thug niggers or if I should move to one of the richest areas in the country so that no one would need to rob/harass me. I'd probably get bothered by my family a lot, but I'm happy to give them whatever they want and it's better than getting robbed and possibly killed.

Good Side:
Girls will want to fuck the shit out of you
You get that rush of 15 minutes of fame
All your enemies see it was you who won on tv


Bad Side:
You become a target cause your money, always have to watch your back when outside,people will hit you up for money,you will get jeleaous hate
You will never know if a girl likes you for you or your money
If you are a Robot , people will see how autistic you look

>>25615410

Record high lottery in the US

Record high lottery the same day in the UK,

>>25616164
I think the 55% is taxes and other shit that gets pulled out, you'll wind up with 45% of the winnings in cash.

>>25616173
>switch your number immediately
>forward all your mail/bills so they go to a UPS box
>check into a hotel, shave head, shave eyebrows, wear fake beard, whatever, and go collect lotto winnings
>legally change your name after

obviously not all there is to it, but it's a start

>>25616280
Well yeah, my question was, what is there besides Federal and state tax? Unless the 55% refers to the highest state taxes like New York (which still probably wouldn't add up to 55).

>>25615855

Actually, I had my college advanced combinatorics professor (top engineering school) go through thie statistical opportunity cost thing for why it makes sense to play the lottery only when it's at extremely high levels. I have no memory of what the math was, though.

>>25615707
The odds of winning are the same baka.

Number of permutations don't change, it's still 1 in 292 million odds of winning the jackpot. Only thing that's gone down is your odds of being the only person who wins, but with the jackpot so large your expected payout is still going to be more now than ever.

That being said it's stupid to try and win Might buy a ticket later today

>>25616306
15% goes to marketing, paying the lottery agencies, etc.
1-2% goes to the store that sold it
25-30% goes directly to states
60%ish goes to winner, who then has to pay taxes on their winnings as income (state and federal)

I feel like this much money has its downsides.

Like, who the fuck would ever love you for you? They want your money. The only way you could ever find true love is if they had no idea of your wealth. Too many gold-digger hoes will be going after you.

>>25616160
I can't afford 1$ a month.
Stop measuring everyone with your own ruler

Anyone know anyone who won the lottery?

My mom's friend from work a while back did. It was only about 3 million, though. It wasn't enough for her to stop working or anything, so she just kept her job, drove the same car, lived in the same house, and put almost all of it away for retirement savings. Boring but it's good to know that not everyone who wins is dumb.

>>25616392
with this much money you can set up multiple versions of you and pay assistants to manage the personas

like you'll have the baller version, the average joe with an average apartment/car version, etc. just use your average joe version to date IRL

If you were to win the powerball, how would you use the money to make normies lives miserable?

OP you need to learn a little something called probability.

The house will always play because there's a good chance that overall it will gain more than it lost.

>>25616704
Correct

But really, what's the harm in buying a single ticket when the jackpot is this high? Moderation of course, but there's nothing wrong with spending $2 for the slight tinge of hope in the back of your head

>>25616731

If there's one jackpot eveyr tweek and you buy one you are losing $104 a year. In ten years that is $1040. If you live past 100 (which some people alive right now might seriously do) you spent $10,400 just to lose.

>>25616568

The chance of you actually being a time traveller is probably higher than winning the Powerball

>>25616759
You're forgetting that there's more than just the max jackpot prize.

I played the lotto where I live for close to 2 months every week "for free" (not really because I had to buy the original ticket), because I kept chaining free plays together. I've also won $150-$200 a few times, which pays for over a year of lotteries. But ya even if you played every single week you would most likely not end up spending $2 every single week.

>>25615902
You will never win them to begin with, so it's a non issue.

Why aren't you throwing money around the street? The odds your money will grow into a tree of money is the same.

Be sure to check online and make sure that there are still winning tickets out there for what ever scratch off game you play.

Also has anyone ever met someone in real life who won the lottery or scratch off (like serious money scratchoffs). I never have , I'm almost convinced this is all just a scam by the jews and than they fix it so one of theirs gets to be the winner and the rich just keep getting richer.

No, a really big house wouldn't cost $20 million dollars. Not even those ridic beachside houses that celebrities buy cost even $5 million.

Who else would buy a loyal girly virgin gf? To me that would be the dream...i wouldnt even know what to do with the money after that besides buy a house so she can be comfortable

Gas station attendants around me are all fob pooinloos, what precisely do I say if I want a ticket for the powerball but I don't want to pick my numbers?

On the one hand, it is incredibly unlikely you will win. On the other hand, it's only like a few bucks, so you might as well play. On the other hand yet again, this logic applies to it all the time, so you might as well play every week/month. I mean, does it really make a difference whether you win 10 million or 100 million or 900 million? Why not play all the time? Because it's a waste of money.
>>25615855
You don't understand how those people think. They are poor, uneducated idiots. In their mind, the lottery is their chance at getting a good life, and they desperately cling to that idea.
Basically like this guy >>25616018
>>25616173
>you can't anonymize yourself
Nobody knows me except my family. I don't have friends, i live in a dorm so i dont have a direct landlord, etc.

>>25616176
You leave your home to buy a lottery ticket.
>>25616392
>They want your money
That's already the case.
Women traditionally don't work because they think they don't need to and because they raise children, so they're going to look for a man with a job. It doesn't matter if you make 3000 a month or you make 90mil in the lottery, they're still going to be after your money


Also,
Imagine stealing somebody's credit card, but you don't know their PIN code. You go to an ATM, and you have 1 (one) chance to enter the correct PIN.
You try a random number.
I can guarantee you it's going to be incorrect, and that's only a 1 / 10000 chance.
The lottery is much worse, my probability professor made an interesting comparison, but i'm European so i'll try to "convert" it to American:
Imagine you line up empty beer bottles (standing up, not laying down) from Washington DC to somewhere in South Carolina. But ONE of the bottles is actually full
You are supposed to pick one bottle at random.
That's how lottery is
People simply can't imagine immense numbers like 1 / millions (whatever the chance is)

>>25617724

Why the hell do people buy more tickets when it's at 900 million? What's the difference between 100 million and 900 million?

You are not going to spend that kind of money in your life time unless you are an idiot to begin with.

Fuck sake people. You can't even win the goddam thing.

That's the funny thing about the lottery. It's not even gambling. Gambling requires you to be risk loving. But there is no real risk playing the lottery. You lose a few bucks. Big deal. In order to buy your ticket week for week, constantly buying those little snips of paper with some spare dollars you have to be the most risk-averse cuck of all time. You can't even bear running the risk of losing out on the CHANCE OF YOUR LIFE WOOOH!

Feels good not being innumerate.

I just spent $275 on tickets and now barely have enough money to eat for the rest of the month. I don't usually play the lottery but the thought of winning enough money to escape my shitty life forever was too much to resist. I hate my life and think about killing myself every day. This lottery drawing is the only thing that's given me a modicum of hope in years.

How dumb am I?

>>25618347
Wait are you a grill, a fag, or playing doubles advocate? I agree that he seemed like an autist but still...in that situation money will always win. he can act however he want since hes in a position to and doesnt have to worry about the future. I think he was smart for not letting his guard down, its very suscpectible to get scammed and cucked when youre walking around with that kind of money, especially with how low quality in general the average american girls brain is

Well, to be fair to the normies,

If you don't play the lottery you have a 0% chance of ever having hundreds of millions

If you do play, you at least have some chance, no matter how microscopically low it is, its still higher than a 0

>>25618624
Exactly, you just said it. Someone with that much money can literally afford to have better taste than someone who rots their brain on social media and cares about status.

Man you will have girls jumping all over you. The stupidest thing to do would be getting a solid gf if you plan on being loyal, you will be able to get any girl you want no matte how socially awkward you are. Girls treat you completely different when you are in the position of being desirable as in a rich mother fucker. When you are a desirable male you don't even have to worry about shit like small talk because she will just control the situation, being awkward because she will just ignore all your awkwardness, doesn't matter if you are fat or ugly because she will say she loves you body anyway, small dick no problem it's perfect for her.

If you want to donate to charity, fine. But donate to a worthy charity that gives a higher percentage of your dollar to the reciepients of that charity than the lotto does to make their operation legal.

The mega millions and super lotto were just won, and after this draw is probably won by a few to several people, the jackpot resets. This is it guys, the moment I've been waiting for my whole life, to instantly break into supreme financial liberation and abundance beyond whats even imaginable.

Already got 8 tickets, but I think I'll get 2 more just in case.

i want to but i'm too scared to leave the house and be surrounded by normies buying tickets

they'll see me and laugh at me and i'll run out of the store crying before i even get a chance to buy my ticket

That being said, there is a huge upside and minimal downside, I am spending about 20 bucks on this today.

wat lol?

dunno how it works in the US, but here in canada you just go to a gas station, say "give me a 6/49 with the extra" or "lotomax with the extra" or whatever the fuck you want, they print out a ticket for you, you pay them and then go on your way. You're never surrounded by anyone, and the socialization required is like next to none. You could select your numbers I guess with the little paper bubble sheets, but its mostly a waste of time and "lucky numbers" are stupid

IT HAS NO EFFECT ON YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING

Now would be a good time to at least play in groups of around 20-30 people for more decent chances of winning if you don't want to waste a considerable amount of money.
The cash value is at $558 mil which is a rip off anyway
The chances of winning are 1 in 292 mil split by 30 you get 1 in 9,7 mil which are a lot better, but still ridiculously small.
If you do win you would get $1,8 mil, I see no reason not to try if it only costs $1.

See this is why you're a fucking child.

Let's say you're 30 years old. You have 3 million dollars. You're planning on living to 90. If you quit working and try to live off interest + small principal you aren't even living a rich lifestyle. You're paying yourself a salary of an upper-middle class lifestyle per year.

I know that you have no dreams and have no aspirations because you're a NEET but real adults with real dreams aspire to more.

A poor man sees 3 million as a life's windfall. A rich man sees 3 million as a tool to achieve his life's dream.

>>25624028
this.
my parents have a net worth of about 5 million. they aren't even really rich. my dad's a doctor and my mom's a chemical engineer.
we have a couple of houses and take nice vacations but almost everyone i went to school with in high school was just as rich if not richer.

>>25615474
One upping. You are more likely to die on the way to pick up the ticket and die again on the way to claim your money than to win the lotto.

The lottery is fun, you pay to dream not to win.

Technically when the lottery gets to a very high level, playing it is +EV.

Like right now playing the lottery is definitely +EV in an absolute math sense and even better than that on an absolute sense in that winning that much money is worth more than what the money itself is worth.

Dont give it to the tripfags. Not even one

>>25625417
Yes. Very easily, without even starting a business. With that amount of money, you assemble a small team of accountants, brokers, etc. They'll help you invest and also locate the necessary tax loopholes.

Assuming your investments garner a modest 4% p.a. (being modest as so inflation doesn't take a toll), and decide to live only 1%, you can spend $3.8M a year and have your portfolio grow over $11M a year. By doing this, you also get a 2% raise each year. So $3.8M becomes the spending power of $3,876,000. Trump is an idiot and made his immense wealth from property. Investments are one of the most powerful things and are the reason why the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep staying poor.

>>25625653
Forgot to factor in some tax in there. But to be fair, I'm not even American. And my country's lottery has a lot better chances and also doesn't get taxed, though the winnings aren't as high. Highest it has Jackpotted to is $100M, I believe.

i have a ticket, how do I win? when they do they announce the new numbers?

All women consider wealth to be "attractive" too, so its not that women are shallow...its just that money literally makes women's pussies get wet and makes their heart burn, because you are such a superior Daddy to fuck her and be a Daddy with Dollars for her family/children and House.

>>25629804
Your odds don't increase or decrease based on how many people buy tickets. Why? Because of the amount of people buying has no affect on the probability of the winning numbers. Your chances of winning depend solely on the combination of balls, which is a static statistic. Do you people understand now?

>>25629884
Correct, for that probability to happen, it'd have to be an 'out of the hat' random selection winner, not based on the balls.

Why doesn't someone with enough money to buy a ticket for each combination just do that and guarantee that they win the jackpot?
