Lady in front of me in line dropped $80 in tickets. How much have you guys seen?

I dropped $10 in voluntary taxes because...A BILLION loving DOLLARS!

The girl running the lotto machine said someone dropped $300 on tickets earlier today.

I spent all the cash I had on me on tickets, so that's $18 I'll never see again.

Do these people just have no emotions? Like when they realize they didn't win, do they just think, "well shoot, there's always next time!"

I guess that could be the reason why I'm not big into gambling. I got sick to my stomach when I lost 200 bucks in only about 2 hours of casino games (blackjack, slots)

I'm not a big gambler, but I got $10 in tickets today. My free-range hooker farm will be glorious!

7 is the cutoff, and normally you'll see the results online within the hour. But on massive ones like this, the site typically goes down for being hit so hard. Do they still televise a drawing with the ping pong balls that you can watch live?

When I went to buy my one ticket this afternoon I had to wait because the machine was still printing dozens and dozens of tickets. Whoever bought them got there before I did but I saw it spit out at least 15 tickets with significantly more already printed, aren't there 5 tickets per actual ticket?

A buddy just bought me a ticket, so now I can start planning how I'll spend all that goddamn money. I honestly have no idea. If I won $50k I'd know what to do. If I won $1M I'd know what to do. $1 BILLION GODDAMN DOLLARS? I seriously don't know what to do with that kind of money (I know it isn't going to be $1B for whoever does win).

In NY you can have up to 10 lines of numbers per ticket ($20 worth) I don't know if this is the same for other states.

You could get nutritionists, physical trainers, and plastic surgeons to make you look exactly like Chris Pratt, and then fully fund a movie about yourself, starring Chris Pratt. And still have hundreds of millions left over.

It's the kind of money where the only limits left are the ones of the human body and the laws of physics.

i used to work at a lottery selling place, one time some 19 year old kid came in and picked out a 10 dollar scratch then he didn't have enough money so he said he was gonna go get some

it was a little while and I was like "hey maybe I should buy this ticket, he was very particular about what one he wanted"

was going to buy it and then he came back, paid for the scratch-off, and scratched it on the counter

50 goddamn grand, gently caress that kid, he didn't even come back and give me any money for being cool and holding his ticket for him

ok that's my lottery story peace
