Picked up a couple tickets for both the Mega Millions and Powerball. Mega sitting at $625 Mil and Power at $550 Mil. I’ll drop a couple bucks when it catches my eye but not a normal player. Someone’s gotta win right????
[486 said:;n268858]they're a tax on the poor AT MATH.
they tax you when you earn the money, they tax you when you buy the ticket, they tax the ABSOLUTE FUCK outta you when you win the money, then they tax you when you spend the money
fuck that
Nah. Its more like cheap entertainment.Spending money on lottery tickets is right up there with cigarettes and cheap booze, as things that poor people can spend money on to momentarily feel good, while staying poor.
I always considered it an idiot tax. But I buy 5 bucks worth every couple of years. May be when I’m worth 5 million, I’ll have enough money to give it to the state for a “thrill”.
wouldn't it double them?buying the second does not improve your chances.

Buy one ticket, and you have a one in 292,201,338 chance of winning the jackpot. Buy two tickets, you have a two in 292,201,338 chance. Essentially, you are wasting the second ticket.
