>he cares about half a billion fiat

>>3131076
nice, just bought 100k!

you are more likely to win every single bet you make on a bitcoin dice game than to hit. the first has a bigger payout and better odds

i won NOTHING
$20 WASTED

>had better returns playing dice than the lottery or casino

Just bought $200 worth of tickets, there is no way I can lose

>>3131190
>had better returns trading crypto

>>3131076
Nice, just bought 10k.

Whenever it gets this high, we always buy just 2 tickets. One random and one self pick. The dreams and imagination are worth $4.

>>3131076
I'll play if it hits a billion. Which could be tomorrow.

>>3131095
The odds of being born on earth, as a human, and in this comfy society are astronomically higher. We've all already won the cosmic lottery.

Honestly what has a better return than a powerball ticket?

You can't name a single thing that has a higher chance of making you a multimillionaire with just 2 dollars and a trip across the street to the corner store.

Only 90 year old seniors and minorities win the lottery. There is 0 reason to purchase a lottery ticket as a young or middle-aged white male.

>Why aren't you playing the Powerball, lads?

because I'm more likely to win if I just took 2 bucks to a casino and put it on black and let it ride until I have a billion dollars.

>>3131076
Crypto has better odds and it also gives you the delusion that you have strong control of your wealth when the reality is in this unregulated new asset class, whales, matket markers and the SEC are in control. Crypto simply isnt as hopeless as the lottery.

>>3132548
you never know, anon
there could be an incredible supply of "Better earths" with world peace and lambos for all, but you weren't born on any of them :(

>>3132551
Various cryptocurrencies have given extreme ROI if you bought in at the right time.

I don't need no lotery tickets.

I have you people. You just give me the free money on coins.

>>3132584
Only NEETs buy crypto. There's 0 reason to invest in crypto unless you're a loser.

>>3132827
Do you love being a wageslave? Hate the though of being a wealthy man?

>>3131101
You learned a lesson

>>3131076
everytime I see normies buying lottery tickets I think about how we are going to make it and in 40 years state run gambling will be a vestige of the past

You must be totally retarted if u are buying lottery tickets.

>mfw taken away the dreams of instant wealth but don't even have $2

the idea of winning this is fun but I know that I'm better off just margin trading with that $2 at 100x leverage

What kind of fucked up person would think this is a good thing to do for a stock photo?
Oh yeah a crying kid with a gun in his hand, that will sell like hot cakes lol

>>3133823

>one in million+ chance of winning

Could literally make a better profit spending it $2 daily on crypto than $2 a day on lottery tickets

>>3133978
could just buy a million tickets for 2 million dollars and then win 500 mil

100% odds bro, you cant explain that

>>3132551
one chance in more than 692 million

you have a better chance, mathematically, statistically, of being struck by lightning on the way to the corner store to buy your ticket than you do of winning.

So I walk to the store, pretty much every other day. If I don't get struck by lightning at least once by the time I arrive, I do not buy a lottery ticket.

The lottery is a basically a tax on people who cannot into math.

>The lottery is a basically a tax on people who cannot into math.
same thing with crypto desu, it's going to get brutal when normie money floods in

>>3134059
>when normie money flows in

Yeah, it'll be brutal like a year or two after the fact. Before that everything will be sky rocketing

>american wins 500 million on lottery
>taxman kicks his door down and charges him 499 million plus other fees
>american is still happy he won something
>gets repossessed for winning
>ends up in crippling tax debt

"Land of the free"

>>3134106
it's 50%

>it's going to get brutal
yeah, brutal profits for anyone who knows what to do.

I cannot wait for the normies to flood.

I cannot wait.

>win lottery
>get 270-300M after taxes
>put 97% of it in index funds and bonds
>move to a low dividends tax state
>buy a big ass plot of land and make a legit castle
>invest in tons of companies
>if I manage to get a few billion before I die, build myself a legitimate pyramid

can you buy these tickets online if youre not a burgerkistan?

>>3134524
No. No online sales. Cash only through an authorized retailer.

$330M cash option, roughly $150M after taxes.

>>3134550
this is the only drawback of not living in the land of the burgers

>>3134550
strangest thing about PowerBall is how shitty their site is powerball.com

$500M jackpots doesn't seem to help them upgrade past a 1990's looking html shit

>>3134034
But winning the lottery is in no way dependent on you getting struck by lightning

>>3134572
Their main demographic doesn't want anything better than a 1990's html looking site

>>3134550
195.859 million after federal taxes assuming you are single and no state taxes on lotto

>>3134572
They have a government monopoly selling tickets mostly to a bunch of low-IQ addicts. Also, if you're on a lottery commission, do you know how fucking lazy you can be? You do roughly zero on a daily basis. Why try now?

>>3131076
The chances of DGB,BNT,SIA and RDD mooning combined is still lower than the chances of you winning powerball with 1 ticket

>>3131076
Just wait till the chinks raise.

98% of BTC is traded in China.You have no idea what you are talking about

You are a complete fucking retard if you believe that. Next time just burn your money man. Buying a lottery ticket is literally the worst investment you can make.

Those leeches pray on poor dumb people who think it's impossible to become rich unless you are "lucky".

Whoops,that was a mobile site

>spend $52 a year on lottery tickets (one $1 ticket a week)
>never win but it's a cheap way to fantasize about winning a fortune, while investing 70% of my income into index funds

>>3135271
It's still a waste of money. Jeezes Christ.

>>3131076
Fuck it ALL IN for 150k baby!

You could open an IRA averaging 10% a year, put $2 a week that you would normally put into lottery tickets.
After 40 years you would have $48,429.
2080 Lottery tickets for $2 each is $4160 over 40 years. The Chance of winning the powerball is 1 in 292 million.
And the chance of winning the lottery throughout your life is 1 in 140,000
The power of compound interest is amazing.

>>3135288
NEETs just too afraid to go outside to buy lottery tickets.
