When is the drawing, OP?

i think they do it on wednesdays or something. IDK who the gently caress plays the powerball its a bullshit scam.

I only go in on it if its 500mil and even then I feel like its a loss of a dollar.

That said if it reaches 500mil and I win it I'll offer lowtax a mil for the forums.

Imo the issue with that is there's not really such a thing as a truly random number generator on a computer. It's always based on some algorithm

well they tend to seed it so at least its based off time passing so its mostly close to random.

Since the drawing isn't until Saturday night do you think it could hit like $900M by then?

I'd say theres a very good chance.

IF you win a fun thing to do would go to a currency exchange and get whatever is the worst currency to USD in terms of money value so like 5000000 african country bux to every 10 us dollars. Then get like 1000 dollars worth of it and make your friend dance while you toss it around them.

Solice Kirsk posted:

Buying more than one or two tickets is insane to me. But I am buying one and a two for the IL MegaMillions since no one cares about the stupid tiny $150million pay out right now. If I win both I will give the entire MegaMillion Payout to a homeless person or something.

I'm technically homeless and in IL

I would use the money to pay off my student loans :buddy:

I honestly have no idea what I'd do. Like im at a point in my life where I want a job and to work to feel value, but at the same time I could easily see myself just wasting space and having lots of money for the next 70 years.]

The only thing I know for sure is, 1 debts paid off, make sure i give as much to my parents as I can that isn't tax deductable and make sure they're taken care of for the rest of their lives.

Being a philanthropist would be incredibly sick. Going to free $500 meals and donating money to seemingly humanitarian causes would be a job in itself.

I thought about setting up a college fund for someone who is interested in programming as a possibility. but hey I'm not gonna win it. But yeah there are some nice things I could do, I do hope if anyone wins it its a goon though just so poo poo gets hilarious for a bit.

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?
