Desplaines, Illinois Speedy Gas Station, Close to ORD Airport. 10min from my work, this is a very busy gas station right off of I90 tollway, gas station always packed super busy. Blue collar neighborhood, near airport, largest industrial park in us, but lots of commuters tourists could use that gas station. Had 1 number from $20, suck at that gambling too, fuc me.

Why the Myth of the Miserable Lottery Winner Just Won’t Die

Dear lucky winner of the Mega Millions: You'll probably be just fine.

slate.com

Thought this was a good read, always figured the "most lottery winners go broke" narrative was very deceiving and probably involved cherry picked statistics, as well as a lot of anecdotal situations.

I played 2 bucks , If I win , even I could not piss that much money away

You would be doing $1000 supers. You’d find a way Mike. Lol

One of these days I would like to see these giant lottery prizes won by some 27 year old guy who knows exactly what he wants and adopts a baller lifestyle. Just like Floyd Mayweather Jr. Dozens of watches costing hundreds of thousands each. A fleet of cars. Front row seats at concerts, NBA games, NFL suites. Dinners costing $1000 a pop. A string of models as dates. You never see this because who buys lottery tickets. Mostly people in minimum wage jobs with little education. Anybody with a brain, young and is moving upward in life doesn't waste money on lottery tickets. It's always someone in a backwater town who has no intention of moving and whose big purchase is a new a Ford F-150 pick-up truck.

When it gets to 1 billion even the opposite of what you say is worth 2 bucks a year.

 

[bigbet1234]

How many people would still bet if they won this? If so how much would you need to bet to make it worth while?
Can't imagine still betting and throwing 100 or 1000 a game when you worth 600 mill

I’d play the highest if high stakes poker and shove people out with fear. lol. I’d bet $50k parlays and be broke in a year. Lol

One lone winner

Ticket bought in Illinois at a SPEEDWAY gas station outside of Chicago I believe ?

I find it amazing that of the Millions of tickets being played only 1 hit ...... freaking crazy

the odds of winning a prize like that are crazy high ...... can't wrap my head around it .

 

[Willie99]

I don't think I had 6 numbers on my 15 tickets combined, I know I didn't have the Mega Ball

I've been blessed in many ways, but luck ain't one of them

was reading that 5 tickets sold in IOWA missed the Jackpot by 1 number

4 of the tix won 10k$ & one from Bettendorf was a 2 Million winner

Congrats to the IRS for winning the 846.3 M lottery

Winner got 433.7 M

Is this true? I thought the winner would get at least 600M

433.7 M is still a lot of money but damn
