Powerball

[Aborted]

Chances are someone just won $600M in the Powerball.
I bought $24 worth of tickets, and won $12, so I just lost $12.
God damn it.

*Whispers* Lotteries are a scam.

at least you won something , that means you are getting closer, also 600mil ftw

[Joshcarr2006]

The % of winning that shit is 0% to 100% you win or you don't and with mils of people playing that shit good luck. Could have used that 24$ to buy food or a game or weed or pay some 10 year old to show you his pee pee or a gift for some one.

​Not if you win or pick good numbers. You invest a small amount of money for the chance at gaining it back infinity fold. Not really a scam if you ask me.

Well that was out of nowhere.

Naw it's a very good scam. They get mils of peoples hopes up thinking they can win a god like amount of money so people will drop 100's of $ in to that shit in the hopes of winning. Most of the time no one wins that money. But when some one does they tax the shit out of them.

I heard it's more likely to get hit by lightning 3 times than to win the lottery. So if you win the lottery... You're gona get hit by lightning. 3 times. oww.

It's simply an ingenious way to raise money. Half of all the money paid for lotteries goes to the State Government to help economically. The price to buy a lottery ticket is next to nothing, with the possible financial gain being astronomical. It is in no way a scam.

It's a scam. Okay then Aborted give me 1$ and pick 3 numbers in a week I will random 3 numbers and if your numbers are the same as mine I will give you 100$. It's a scam. They get peoples hopes up over nothing. Sure it's next to nothing to buy the damn thing but mils of people paying 1$ each adds up. US came out with the scam because they are poor as fuck. It's like there are taxing us but we can pick to pay or not but they tell us all this bullshit about win 100000000k mil so it makes it too good to pass up.

​You have an honest chance at gain, therefore it isn't a scam.

I read a paper a while ago on some statistics that proved that there is a 9400% chance of winning a property related competition / lottery, rather than the generic lottery. Even then, I doubt you would ever win anything. That shit is rigged as fuck.

What does someone do with $600mil
