I hope someone that bought like 500 bucks worth of tickets wins it so a bunch of stupid people will think that they should have spent more.

Accretionist posted:A trust which invests in a bunch of different mutual funds. Keep in mind that if it's all in a savings account you can be sued for it. And you would be. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon. And for the rest of your life. People keep saying this but I don't really get it. In all the lottery horror stories cases I've seen compiled on various websites the big mistake poors who win it usually make is not understanding that they can just live a decent life off ~100k/year and instead buying like 30 million dollar mansions and 30 cars to fit in the garage for each of their friends. Some people get sued, but it's always because they tried to scrooge someone they actually owed the money to, like someone running away from an office pool or breaking up with their spouse or w/e. it's not like joe shmoe can just sue you for money he has not even the slightest rights too. I imagine it'd kinda suck having to tell a bunch of extended friends and family you don't care about that no you're not going to give them 10 million dollars but the idea that anyone is actually gonna do something bad to you or sue you a bunch seems dumb to me. Like there are plenty of rich people out there and they get along just fine, you don't hear about bill gates going bankrupt because his classmates sued him for his money. Even if you are hit with frivolous suits you could just get really expensive lawyers and hammer anyone that tries that poo poo.

Meta Ridley posted:To simplify the question a bit, instead of dealing with partial permutation combinations (pb + 5 combo), imagine if to win the jackpot you had to pick the correct number 1 - 270000000. I was about to explain what you were missing but it seems like you got it anyways. It doesn't matter whether you pick heads or tails, given an infinite number of flips you should be right about 50% of the time. You could always pick heads, always pick tales, alternate, follow some sort of sequence, it doesn't matter you should always average out to 50% win. Now in the case of the powerball two or more people winning the grand prize means splitting it, so if humans do typically pick lower numbers than it would change the expected value of your ticket to pick in a range that statistically had less players as it would mean you had a better chance of keeping the prize to yourself should you actually win.

Is there any evidence the home invasion was actually connected to winning the lottery there? I mean its not like you can rob someone's bank account (at last not without marrying them first hue hue hue) so I doubt busting into a lotto winner's house is gonna get you too much more money than any decently well off neighborhood.
