Why, in the wild blue gently caress of all fucks upon this gay Earth, would you be carrying 800,000 in loving cash? There isn't a hooker on Earth worth that amount of money. What, do you buy your blow by the "fuckton"?

The answer to that is people that aren't used to having money are terrible with money. If you're used to living check to check and spend your checking account to single digits every month, you're gonna do the same thing even if takes much longer to accomplish it.

So the lottery preys upon the stupid and weak willed. Then, once the stupid and weak willed win said lottery, they just pump the money pack into the.... Oh god, it's a perfect loving circle.

What I'm getting from this thread is that a lot of complete idiots win the lottery. So that means a dummy like me has the greatest chance of winning. Therefore I'll just go ahead and start pre-spending all my winnings on the San Francisco housing market, and start investing in every business that has an app.

If you're ever considering playing one of these dumb lotteries, play one of your smaller state lotteries instead of powerball/mega millions. The odds of winning the big prize and a prize at all are much better. In my state, the lottery starting at $500k has odds of 1:2,517,200. That's still a life changing amount of money for most people. Even winning just the one million prize in powerball and mega millions is 1:11,688,054 and 1:18,492,204. Also that state lottery gives you two sets of numbers for $1, powerball and mega millions only give you one set of numbers for $2 and $1.

On one of those show specials where they see what these fucks did with the money, i remember them covering some poor schmuck who had the same idea. But he blew through his payments so fast, and was always counting the days till his next payment, he resorted to loan shark type dealers who would give him his payout now in exchange for his next 3 or some absurd amount. Do that a few times and you're hosed ultra fast... As for myself. I would love to buy a lake front property with my own dock, drink myself stupid on my boat and fish all day long. What's that, you say I don't have to be a mega millionaire to do that? Well I would be bringing harems of hookers along with me on my boat, so...poo poo adds up.

I would be terrified to turn in a winning ticket. It's like putting a huge target on your back for every scumbag out there to come try to take your money from you. I would probably wait until the last possible day it was valid and hope that most people had forgotten how big the jackpot was.

I think you'd probably want to turn it in halfway through the valid period to allow the press to cool down about the jackpot story. Wait until the last day and they'll ramp up again with 'unclaimed giant jackpot' type stories.

My ultra consuming coworkers are in a lottery pool. Of which I am part. I am part of it because I need to hedge against the chance of them winning. If they win and I don't, I won't be able to stand watching them blow all the money on trips, cars and hot tubs. And then end up worse off after a few years.

Here in IL I just multiply any advertised winnings by 38% because that's pretty much what you get every time after all the taxes (including the full 35% federal tax). Hell, I'll probably not buy a ticket unless nobody wins this Wednesday. It'll probably hit $450M. So like... ~$171M. Also after watching High Profits on Netflix I feel like I'd try out my own grow out there. Although I'll probably end up doing it anyways considering I've been wanting to move there after graduation for several years now.

lotto just seems to be a tax on poor folks who are also not super bright or maybe it's also like a buy a bit of hope in number-guessing-game form so you can continue on one more day thing; I guess I can't judge one of my coworkers won like 3,000 bucks or something and had to wait a few months to get paid because IL had not hammered out a budget appropriation for paying lotto winners or some poo poo lol
