Annoyances

[Ignatius J Reilly]

I always wondered if people who regularly buy lottery tickets realize how retarded they are

When it hits a certain point, I'll buy 5 of them just because it's fun to have that 'what it' moment.  Who the freak cares if people buy them every week?  People spend money on excrement they don't need and don't derive more than a momentary benefit from.  It usually doesn't cost a freaking dollar a week.

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.

By all means, show me the stock you can get a good return on for a dollar.

Does the typical lottery player only spend one dollar per week?

Consistently spending your money on something that has a 99.999999999% chance of stealing your money sounds freaking retarded to me.

If you wanna jerk off to a quick thrill go play blackjack or roll the dice on a cheap hooker without wrapping it up

I've seen Wolf of Wall Street. Penny stocks breh.

You do realize that you can easily start an ira for a few dollars a week?

10/week into a Roth ira can realistically end up in 200 grand tax free at retirement.

Yessss

Wait...I want to know where this casino is.  Blackjack and the gas to drive there for 1-2 bucks a week?  Sign me up!

Yes, the people who play their numbers weekly generally spend 1-2 dollars a week.  I'm sure some people play more but "anyone who plays regularly" would include these people.

I forgot that most convenience stores deliver

99.99999999% chance of failure is still a 99.9999999%  chance of failure.

Whether they're spending 1$/week or 100 is irrelevant. It's still retarded

Where do they get the other $8 a week?  That's 8 times the precious dollar they're wasting!  The thought of someone making the trip to drop their $4 in an IRA makes me think of that kid who saved his allowance and tooth fairy money.  Apparently that was dcm.

Oh what a country this would be if casinos were as plentiful as 7-11s and grocery stores.

Well, you would know.

Tossing away $1 a week is as bad as tossing away $100.  Irrelevant!

The trip to drop their 4$?

Thank God AL Gore invented the Internet.

And you can have it automatically done.

It's the principal

I just want to point out on a more amusing  note that I'm heading out on a  date with this chick, and she texted me a few minutes ago saying she'll be a few minutes late because she stopped to get lottery tickets.

Told you people that buy lottery tickets are retarded. She's going on a date with me

But you buy lotto tickets with cash you find in your pocket.  Where do I put that in the computer to deposit?  I'm learning so much today!
