I didn't buy any tickets - I have roughly the same chance of winning as all of you. 😛

This is why I never bother to buy more then 1 ticket! 😉

When I was buying my single ticket at the liquor store earlier some guy at the other cashier was playing every freaking lottery game on earth and like 6 times each! (he was still going when I left!)
 
I didn't buy any tickets but after work tonight I went to my normal gas station to buy a couple of packs of Camels just like I always do and holy fuck the line was almost out the door. Longest I've ever waited in line to buy a couple of packs of smokes and some buzzballz.

i buy 2 tix because it cuts the odds in half!
biggest odds reducer is the 2nd ticket.

plus my state has 'Just the Jackpot' option where it's 2 tix for $3 but only pays the top prize.
$0 for 2nd place or worse

I learned some things last week:

1: superyachts, megayachts, ultrayachts are ~$1 million per foot. For Oligarch yachts, you're talking megayacht minimum, so that's at least 250ft / $250million +. ....so let's say confiscated Oligarch yacht, we're talking ~$270-300 million. They are the biggest buyers in the world over the last decade or so, because it's "free money for them." If you want Putin's bigass yacht that was confiscated, at 450 feet, then the taxes after the cash option will put you below that, lol

2: the rules for "putting people on a yacht" are pretty strict, whatever that's called. You are actually only allowed to invite up to 12 total guests onto your boat, regardless of the size. That's it. However, due to the rules and regulations of humans, somehow, staff don't count "as people." So, you can basically have a yacht with 50+ staff, 100 staff, whatever, but no more than 12 guests, including yourself. It's rather quaint. Obviously, what you do here is just staff your yacht with chicks, and call them staff. I mean...that's actually how it works IRL


3. For polonium, this thing is pretty easy to track if it's ever been used. (meaning, previous assassin will leave a long, obvious trail as soon soon as the vial is opened) It shouldn't be too hard to scan the 250+ feet of your new 10k+ square foot floating mini state, with whatever left-over change you have, to find the footprint of the last bit of polonium that was used to kill whatever journalist was on the list for that yacht's previous owner. With any luck, you will also find the corpse(s). Polonium needs to be ingested to kill you, let alone cause any harm. it has something like a ~3 nm active range, can't penetrate your dermis, and you can basically handle it with ungloved hands with little issue....just don't track a few particles into your mouth. You're fucked at that point because it will wreck any soft tissue.

All I know is that I want the one built 50 years ago, that still has the roman-tiled indoor pool that can lift into a dance floor...whenever you need to do that.
