These jackpot lotteries are totally stupid imo. Odds are impossible and honestly money is waaaaY too much. Gimme shorter odds and a million bucks and I'll be happy as a pig in shit

That's why the few times I have ever played, I go with the Hoosier Lotto...Still life changing money but not this 1 in 2 billion odds.

To me, if I had 10 million dollars or 800 million dollars, I would live the same lifestyle. A couple nice houses, a nice car, vacations. HGH, I would be good.

Would be crazy after another drawing or so; if there is a single winner; after taxes the guy could find himself on the Forbes 400 ( or very close). It probably will be some sheepherder Muslim who just got here 3 months ago.

By the time you take the reduced cash value and then pay taxes, I don't think you're going to be anywhere close to the Forbes 400.

For 1.5 billion, I'm going to be stupid and buy a few tickets.

 

[festeringZit]

Mathematically you have essentially the same chance of winning whether you play or not

Huh?

Lottery is a tax for the poor and this is the only way the gov is able to collect tax from them. I'd say let's increase the odd and let'em play. The bigger the jackpot the better.
