Such a great way to spend your money. The lottery is a tax on the stupid.

I hate it when people say this. Such a buzzkill. It's fun. You can have fun playing the lottery and it doesn't mean you're stupid, it's just gambling. Plus someone is bound to win. When you pay taxes you don't have the chance of winning millions of dollars.

It's still a tax. Also don't understand why everybody plays when it;s up to a couple hundred million. Fuck I'd rather play when it's under 10 so your terrible odds are only horrible instead or ridiculously insanely horrible.


Go play roulette at the casino or something

This is exactly what I said last week. It's a tax on dumb people, because seriously the odds are so outrageous. Yeah you're paying for the fun of it, but rationally it's pretty irrational.
Sorry calan

The odds of winning are the same regardless of how many people play.

Are they? That's kind of dumb. You'd think you'd have a better chance winning with less people in the pool.


I'll stick to poker. Closest I get to gambling.

Yeah but we win 1/10 of the American lottery so we still get way less money? Lol

no, because more than one person can get the winning numbers, or none at all.
