yeah that little red ball at the end cost me 50k. I could have paid my student loans off with that.

So do I just take this to the 7/11 and they give me 100 bucks?

Does a 7/11 even carry 100 bucks?



i think any lotto retailer is supposed to be able to do payouts of up to 500 dollars

idk

The local news was asking people outside my mini mart what they would do with the money. I didn't give an interview because I am loyal to a different local news channel than the ones that were there.

If you spend $20,000,000 on unique tickets there's an 85.5% chance you're winning that million dollar prize. Score!

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!"

People lose billions in the stock market all the time. It's all about perspective.

I paid $20 for the fun, matched 3 on one, and one + PB on another for $11 back. $9 for the thrill of circling numbers was ok I guess

Why did you buy 6 tickets? Buying one is is OK, $2 has almost zero utility if you are middle class, woohoo, I'm going to pick up a NYTs tomorrow when I go to Starbucks but you went from having a zero chance to a almost zero chance, there is like zero return on buying more tickets and $10 buys like a cocktail.

when do they know if someone won or not? like how long does it take to see if stores sold a winning ticket?

Usually within an hour or two. The code running the lotto is seriously outdated and needs to be reworked but the people running it make too much to want to reinvest in improving it when it still runs ok.
