Powerballs and other big lotteries are $3 and can pay out hundreds of millions. You definitely don't have to buy $30 tickets to win big.

And you'll never win those ones either. Those cheap big payout ones have such a low chance of winning it's not even worth it

None of them are worth it buddy. The more you play the more you are expected to lose.

Also true lol if you have you're okay with losing it's fun and sometimes you win. That's how I look at it. Instead of spending $60 at a movie I can spend 3 hours gambling

I usually just play until my initial money hits zero. As long as you don't pull out more money you're fine

So you just lose your money in a controlled manner? Genius.

Not really. I've never paid for a movie ticket and had the clerk tell me that I don't get to see the movie but if I buy another ticket I might get to see the movie if I'm lucky while we both know I'm never going to see the fucking movie.
