we live in a world where the government happily peddles hope and the illusion of safety security and happiness that actual winning brings, without any effort to actually make it happen so it ends up as an extremely regressive tax on people who can least afford it - those in dire straits already

You could spend $50k per day and have money for 72 years and that's if you keep it as cash in a mattress without any interest

it's common, the risk isn't that you'd win it, is if someone else got the numbers and they had to split the pot you'd end up a net loss

also it doesnt work because you have to buy them in person in cash and lol good luck buying 300 million lotto tickets in person

Yeah

I normally buy a ticket when it's huge like this (yeah yeah yeah) and I'd pick retired Orioles numbers. Then it dawned on me that even if it hit I'd have to split it with a bunch of people who all had the same dumb idea
