Lottery discussion

Keep going OP and when you win make it rain on dem haters!

Don't forget to give me my share for these inspirational words.

 

I only buy the lotto when the Powerball or Mega Million is over 100 million and just a few bucks.

You can't win if you don't buy it even if the chances are small it is better than nothing.

 

Hell yeah OP! Remember, the more tickets you buy the better your chances! So if you buy like 100+ tickets per drawing, you will basically guarantee a win!

 

A sage in Vegas once told me "The more you bet, the more you win!"

 

Strategy? There is no strategy for lotteries where numbers are drawn, unless you're rich enough to buy out the combinations when the payout is larger than the odds: http://www.okiedoks.com/index.php/w...l-possible-combinations-on-a-national-lottery

Scratch-off tickets are pseudorandom, so if you have enough information and are strong enough in math, you could predict when and where the jackpot will be: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...times-Stanford-University-statistics-PhD.html

As for myself, I buy one ticket occasionally and dream.

 

The wife and I have played the same three sets of lotto numbers for the past six years. Two of them are from when we both had the same fortune cookie when we started dating that was extremely appropriate to the circumstances of how we met (your persistsnce will soon pay off...I was persistent in asking her out and when I made a specific joke using that word was what made her finally decide to date me) and the other is from a couple months later when we got one that was a lyric to a DMB song. It's fun to dream and it's basically pocket change every week.

 

Bet it all on red.

What could go wrong?

 

I spend like $5 a month on scratch offs and lotto tickets.

 

Cash out your 401(k) and use the money to buy lottery tickets.

If you win, you'll be set for life. So what do you need a 401(k) for?

 

That isn't enough money to last the rest of his life without a job

 

This thread has inspired me to buy some lotto tickets today.

 

Invest the money and live off the interest.

It won't be a lavish life.

But it will be enough to have a normal life for the rest of his life.

 

I would get a job and spend everything I make without stress.

 

Except for the stress of the job.

 

But if you can quit anytime because of savings it's not as stressful.

 

One dollar a week, I will setup a trust to claim the winning.

 

I would get a job that requires manual labor. That would keep me from eating myself to death.

 

Please let me know the fund(s) that will guarantee a sustainable lifestyle off an investment of 2 million dollars for the next 60 years. Thanks.

 

I would invest half of it in low risk mutual funds and then take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities.
