I pass numerous corner stores on my daily commute....on foot. Zero cost. I also play <5 a year.sleeper;1773851 wrote:$2 at 5% return(conservative), 40 years from now is worth ~$14. Now consider the cost it takes to get to the convenience store and the # of times you actually play the lottery and you can easily see why poor/stupid people play the lottery.
Lol, yeah, I have a drive-thru and a gas station that I go directly past on my drive home from work. Wooo, I'd be really adding on the miles and wear on my car to get that ticket! I should just grab $2 and start an IRA with that money. I can already feel the pennies coming in!Automatik;1773857 wrote:I pass numerous corner stores on my daily commute....on foot. Zero cost.

Thanks for the breakdown though, that $14 could really come in handy when I'm 70!
I would already consider myself "loaded".Automatik;1773859 wrote:By the time you're 95...fucking LOADED! $$$

Yeah... I went ahead and sold my ticket back. Fuck those guys.Heretic;1773850 wrote:I was thinking about trying, but, man, now I'm scared that the loss of a couple dollars will magically make me less intelligent or, even worse, A POOR PERSON!!!!
A poor person.DeyDurkie5;1773865 wrote:It's 2$ a ticket. Who gives a shit.
And this is the only time I play. Only when it's a ridiculous amount. Buy a few tickets and sit back & dream. Not going to win anyway but fun to think about.OSH;1773840 wrote:I'll buy. I have no issues in spending $10 on big money tickets like this a couple times a year.

This. I'd be more upset if the whole office won and I missed out than if I saved the $5 or $10 we chip off when the jackpots get huge.BR1986FB;1773828 wrote:LOL, he's right as you usually see some toothless hilljack winning it. With that being said, I'll probably waste $10.
As far as office pools go, you pretty much have to throw some money in because you don't want to be the one left out when everyone comes in and quits.
Okay JJ Huddle. It's just $12!SportsAndLady;1773889 wrote:Lol sleeper it's $2. Fuck off man

There's a bit of a difference between: (1) Waste $2 on a gambling deal where you have a .00000000000(infinitely more zeros)1% chance of winning more money than you'd know what to do with and (2) Waste $12 to chat on a dying message board where some dipshit is looking for a chance to ban anyone for anything because his undies are stuck too far up his overweight moron ass where you have no chance of winning anything unless they're still giving out free copies of that stupid magazine no one gave a fuck about.sleeper;1773893 wrote:Okay JJ Huddle.

The cheaper money-wasting action at least gives a dream of success; the more expensive one can't even provide that.
