You're right. They need to come up with a way for me to play the lotto without leaving home.Disclaimer: I don't buy lotto tickets.
"Hello good sir GM, may we pretty please have your throwaway centers and gords please??!? I'll suck yo'dick!"
you can afford to play the stock market too, and actually get return on your investment, but I'm not in the business of telling people how to spend their money. truth is I spend money on stuff wayyyy more useless than the lottery.
But I can afford it, so why wouldn't I? I already said that my logic doesn't apply if you're on the breadline, but I'm not. The lottery costs me on average less than a beer per week.
I can't wait to rub it in your faces when i win 50 million tonight.
And somehow you'll still miss the 2015 tailgate.
You are a selfish poopchute for winning away the lottery from the poor people!!!
I just never understood the "you're throwing the dollar away!" argument. Granted, if you're on welfare then playing the lottery is dumb. But it's a little bit of fun for a dollar. Why not? Think of all the change you lose in the couch.
OK, but it isn't like I'm not going to have that vacation anyway. That's the point. I'm not going to have anything I wouldn't otherwise have, it's such a small amount over such a long period as to be an irrelevance.
But I'm not going to have an extra vacation with that money. I'm not putting $5 a week away dutifully in order to have an extra vacation in ten years' time. No-one does that excrement.
I always thought that if I ended up winning and then found out that I'd have to share with 10 other winners, I'd probably end up being pretty disappointed.
