    Hell - it's 0.0000% even if you round up!

    Sure. But you are adding a new condition that is not part of the definition of the phrase "statistically speaking".

    whether or not I am is for others to decide.

    But consider, for a moment, the poster I was replying to...

    I play if there is an office pool.

    You do not want to be the one left holding the bag for all dept duties and responsibilities if the others win it.

    So if you win, what do you do with the $$$? Put it the bank where its insured for $250,000? If one person wins the mm its worth 548m after taxes. Spread it out? Under your mattress?

    Compounded interest on the principal, even at a modest 5% is still tens of millions of dollars a year. Just have to budget and you'll never go broke

    what part of this is confusing? if you simply enjoy scratching shit off with a nickel beside the cash register in the local Chevron on a friday afternoon, well, I guess, more power to ya....

    Lottery tickets? IMO it's a complete waste of time and money.

    I get the whole "having hope" aspect to it, but doing it to be disappointed every time? No Thanks.

    You can get more excitement out of a dime bag.

    Powerball - MegaMillons: You play?

    You don’t really want to live off of Two Creeks. It’s flat as fuck and the lifts not open a fair amount of the season.
    Wood Road would be better, but real Ballers live ski in/out in town.

    Come on, it's fun to share in the misery of buying $10 worth of tickets and not getting a single number correct.
