Apparently in England they let you play lottery at 17.

[shortylickens]

And win.

I cant post the link here because its got T&A pics, but the name of the girl is Jane Park. You'll have to google check it.

It seems she has had a miserable life since winning Ye Olde Lotto at 17.

And adults can F 16 year olds. But what has that to do with anything?

Back in the old days women would have had their first couple litters by 16.

Stupid bitch!

I swear to GOD! People are so damn dumb when it comes to winning the lotto. Well, in this case she's only 17 so I guess I can cut her some slack. But still. The way she is spending her money is just beyond ridiculous. She claims the money has been a burden. Well, I'll take that all off your hands. Let me give you my Cayman account Info.

It's just like that stupid ass in Mass. that won Mega Millions not too long ago. She went public telling the world her name, chewing gum while the cameras rolled holding that big pretend check. She had the option to remain anonymous. Now the police have to provide security because of her big mouth. Knowing how past lotto winners used their money, she'll probably blow it all in a few years.

I play the same three sets of lotto numbers for Mega Millions and the state lotto all the time. I figure I'll win the damn thing at 60 or 70. Better late then never. Pisses me off that Mega Millions is now $2. That's $1 more then I'm willing to spend. I'm not going to win the fucker and here I now have to shell out $6 in poor man's tax. If I do win I'd immediately hire an attorney and a financial planner. I'd look into a trust and keep my name secret as well as other things. I wouldn't even have a very expensive car. That makes me a target and I don't want that. Though, I wouldn't mind owning a Shelby convertible. I think the biggest issue is once my family finds out everyone is gonna wanna cut. There's a lot of shit I want to do with my money that I thought of for years.

Perfectly clear...

Lottery is for dumbasses. When I see someone buying lottery tickets, my opinion of them drops about ten notches. I write them off my list of people with valuable information. About even with the mentally retarded, but without the compassion and amusement that comes with dealing with the retarded due to them being unaccountable for their situation.

My great uncle who was already posh to begin with as a real estate lawyer won the lotto twice. He used the same numbers. I wouldn't call that "retarded."

He's got his arrowhead collection at the Field Museum in Chicago.

I would. Anecdotal evidence is worth only slightly more than used toilet paper, but I'll throw down with you. All the lottery players I know haven't recovered the money they've pissed away to the government, much less won big. Lottery is for the lazy, greedy, and stupid. It's the big promise of something for nothing that only delivers often enough to keep the sheep lining up for more.

I'm sure you would have spent that money building and stocking a bunker and donating money to sycophants like Ted Cruz, all the while completely oblivious to the direct, ironic connections among your various decisions.

I usually buy a $2 lottery ticket every week (well, it's been a few months since I have...because I'm too lazy to go pick one up, lol). The odds on this specific game are very close to even that you get the smallest prize of $2, and not all that awful that you win up to $40 on one ticket. Jackpot is "very small" at $500k, and usually only makes it up to $1.7m, I think.

Buying that one weekly ticket (it draws twice per week), I'm up about $24 over the course of a year. See! $24 in beer money that I didn't have before!

Someone has to win it. If it payed out more frequently the pot wouldn't be as big. The one thing I think is really a rip off are scratchers. At most I've won $3. I once blew $20 on several and only won $2. Never again. Yet I see assholes cashing in their scratchers all the time.

That's the thing with lottery, no one /has/ to win. It could theoretically go forever without a winner. Scratchoffs are actually the better deal, because someone does have to win those. Winning tickets were specifically printed, and someone will get one.

And it will be at this precise moment I drop from a massive heart attack.

I suppose. Some how I think the math geniuses that manage lotto know someone will win eventually. Especially as the pot goes up more and more greedy people will buy tickets. How many times did you see PowerBall go up to an insane number and all these people buying tons of tickets. I could care less what the pot is. I play on an almost weekly basis. I'd be hapy with just 1 million.

Sure, as more people play, the odds of a winner will increase. Get enough people in on it, every possible number combination will be selected.

Lotto is five numbers I believe? When was the last time you saw 1 2 3 4 5 selected? That number grouping is as likely as any other. Random double digit numbers make it all seem more plausible when you're standing at the counter giving the government money, but seeing it as a straight sequence drives home how implausible it all is.

Interesting. I was just reading another thread in OT where lxskllr said he spends $7 a week on tobacco. I guess we all have our own form of dumbassery. Personally, I'll take the possible consequences that might befall me from spending that much on the lottery versus the possible consequences of oral tobacco use. But that's just me.

 

[lxskllr]

Which consequences are they? Be specific, and cite reviewed studies. Remember, we're talking about Swedish snus, and the specific preparation method matters. It's not all the same.

"Currently, the warning on Swedish snus cans says, 'This tobacco product damages your health and is addictive.'” That's worse for me than possibly winning some money.

And, since this thread is about the lottery, I have no more to say on the tobacco subject. I believe I made my point.
