    #25549353 -

Insane.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/10/19/mega-millions-hits-970-million-friday/1693848002/

What would u do with $970 million dollars if u won? And where does all this money come from anyway? Is it just from people buying tickets?

I think the reason for jackpots getting really big is usually that there were previous ones where nobody won the main jackpot, and then it carries over. And yeah the money comes from ticket sales.

The lottery is a horrible bait and switch of poor people. That shit should be abolished.

I'd give all of it away to charities and other organisations doing good work and use it to set up foundations that will be self-funded for ever.

Why would any one person want $970 M? Money only causes misery. Look at the stats on lottery winners and what became of them several years later.

Says someone who has never won it :laugh:

Someone in My family won a few hundred grand in powerball in 2007.

Promptly invested in the housing market.... in 2007.

Easy come, silly go.

That's because they let stupid people win the lottery.

Pretty sure it'll be well over a billion.

Ticket sales haven't closed yet so people will be out buying all day. I'll throw $20 to it. Not because I think I'll win, but that $20 will provide me a few hours of wondering and daydreaming today.

I disagree. Money makes people stupid.

This. Generally, people of lower SES and educational attainment gamble and play the lottery. They can't handle winning.

Do you know that as a fact or are you assuming? Either way, I'm not one to brag. Winning the lottery is not a mark of personal achievement.



I'm assuming.  I also didn't say a single thing about bragging or it being an achievement, I see you trying to slip those in there.

Money only causes misery for people who have all their needs met.  It would solve nearly every one of my problems right now.

Yeah, life has a way of laughing at my dad for being a nice guy.  Ain't fair, that kind man deserves the world.

He's got a great attitude about it though, he just sits on the back porch smoking fine cigars and watching the deer feed past.  No sweat.

Though gambling is not only about playing the lottery. Look at horse races and casinos and how these attract a different type of gambler.

Mr Piggy, I wish I could help you, you seem a decent person willing to help others God bless you.

Thats bad ass. We got a winner here!

I bought $10 worth. Used a random number generator on my phone. The range of numbers to pick on that app was off but oh well :shrug: I figured it out.

Its crazy to think all this money comes from ticket sales. Insane.

If only there was a "charity lottery". I wonder if anyone would buy :strokebeard:
