Talk me out of playing the lotto!

Played about $100 worth on the Mega Scamillions last time when it was at $900Mil. This time I have 20 lines of random numbers generated and 5 I picked myself. Gonna play all 25 lines for both the Mega and Powerball which would be $150 at $3 per ticket when you get the multipliers.

Thinking of waiting one more drawing to see if my numbers would have won or not and see if it rolls over again. But then I'd be tempted to play the lines again which would $300!

Wut do MISC??

Save your money. Buy a single ticket if you want.

How about no.gif srs. Just buy like 10 maximum 20 bucks worth and call it a day. Your chances don't improve much at all (maybe .001 percent more) from 10 tickets to 100 tickets srs. Take that rest of the money and go enjoy a nice meal out.

I hear ya. But now that the lines have been made I can't get rid of them because I'll want to see "what if" those were to come in. Fuark man, can you imagine though.

spending 100s on lotto tickets is insane. now I see how lotto winners go broke all the time.

buy a single ticket on the big ones like this, if you want to. Otherwise, you are literally burning cash for no reason.

play it but don't play it like that

When you read stories of past winners, do you ever see them buying a fck ton like you're about to do?

Na they buy a few at most, usually just 1 and get lucky af

Yeah I don't even buy scratch offs but when the jackpots grow to this amount you got to try and go big. I mean $150/365 is about $.41 a day. Although I know some of you investors would be like throw that chit into some stocks and profit. The $150 not the $.41 ayyylol.

if you need a "sigh of relief" for dropping $150 then you're poverty and shouldn't be doing it

Neh, not poverty. Just not really one to waste money but on the other hand for a chance to win this much I'll throw a little at it. I could do $1000 or more if I wanted but I figured a buck fitty seemed good enough. I'm just a TW lol. (Tight wad).

No wtf, you don't try to go big. That's exactly what I mean by throwing hundreds of dollars away. It's seriously not like gambling. Your odds don't go up even the slightest bit enough to warrant wasting money that could be spent on something else.

Even if you had 300 MIL to buy half the tickets, would you? Would you bet 300 mil to either make 600 mil or lose all of it?

You should write down as many numbers as if they were tickets as you can. Ideally 100+, check them for a month or more. none of your tickets would have won chit.

Honestly it's not just the jackpot. With the multiplier you could win $2Mil up to $5Mil as well. Hell even if that $75 brings in $1000 or more I'd be happy lol.
