MegaMillions - Are YOU in?
 

Happened to go to Winn Dixie this AM. On the way out saw a group of guys at the Lotto machine. I never bet, but thought WTH? So got 5 quick picks for $10.

If we win the big one every TOTV person gets $10.

Are you in for the Billion???

I love my life the way it is now

I never bought a lottery ticket and never will. Bad investment.

As was said by one of the news readers last week.....you are 20 times more likely to get hit by lightning than having a winning lottery ticket!

I haven't been hit in over 80 years at the one time level!

No thanx!

I make $365 dollars a year on the lottery, How ? By saving a dollar a day, not buying a ticket.

IMO life is a bit of a gamble. The odds for the $1billion is about 1in 320 million. So, one in the USA population would win. I invested $10 in 5 tickets so it’s about 1 in 70 million.

I never buy lotto, but it was an impulse. Can never win or have a chance if…..

Tickets are $2 each. :wave:

It's a donation, not an investment

I never. understood the hype for these huge pots when you can try to win a single million just about every day with sone being tax free and the odds are much better.

So, he or she is making $730 per year, tax free.

I'm in.
And I'm gonna win

I actually thought about this...

How many times am I likely to win the lottery? Zero. But you never know, it *could* happen once. So, do I spend my chance on a $20M pot or do I spend my chance on a $200M (or $1B in this case) pot?

I'm very unlikely to win but if I do it will be BIG.

I'm a much more humble person being poor. That said, OP, I'll take the sawbuck if you win!

Yep. Don't mind doing it. Part of the money collected for the ticket is put into an education fund (when I was in TN) and it paid students $4000/year for secondary education if they maintained their grades. Great program. My child received WAY more $$$ than I've spent on tickets or will spend in my lifetime. Saved me a lot of money on their education.

I keep buying occasionally and assume it is a donation for those good students that maintain their grades to qualify. If I win anything then that is payback for doing a good deed.

Never thought of it as an investment. It like buying a coffee...only cheaper. You go into investments with the expectation of making money. You buy lottery tickets, movie tickets, or a beer for fun and enjoyment.
