    Thanks in advance to y'all for subsidizing my taxes by ~1.5 Billion a year!

    Yep. Gambling doesn't turn my crank though.

    I've been called a pessimist/realist before though. The odds are ever NOT in your favour. And that shit adds up quick at $5/week. At least with my coffee from timmy hoes, I enjoy that shit every morning.

    Oh shut the fuck up you bitches lol.

    Stop talking about the odds and this BS.

    People like me who love to gamble completely understand the odds. But I still do it because I find it fun. I go into casinos without the mentality to win lots of money, I do it for fun. I buy lottery to win obviously, but if I don't then at least there was some hope. Same reason I play 50/50 at Hockey games.

    That site forces you to buy consecutive draws, no? Instead of just one draw. That sucks.

    ^^ How many people would you know anyways? That amount of money, you wouldn't care if you gave a few mill here and there to friends and family just to get them to stop bothering you about it.

    I would make a very public statement that I plan to give most of it away.

    However if anyone asks me for anything they automatically get zero.

    its pretty easy actually, there's lawyers that specialize in it, basically set up a trust or a company or something to accept the money on your behalf to shield your name from being released publically as the winner and go from there.

    Is thelotter.com down for anyone else? Getting a 462 error.

    I've never played the lottery before, but I won a whopping $13 on Christmas scratchers so I figure I may as well use it to grab a ticket or two.
