No. 5 years ago BTC was $600 and climbing. $20 a week is about $1k a year and even if BTC remained stable at $600 throughout you'd only accumulate 8.33 BTC over 5 years. 8 figures ... you think 5 grand down equals 10+ million dollars?

That’s what I always hated about the super lotto. What’s the point if you gotta split it 20 different ways.
With that being said one time I was with my brother after dinner (had a few drinks) stopped at the gas station to fill up, bought a couple scratchers for 10$ or some shit. The first set won us 20$ so we went back in and just bought more with the scratcher money, ended up doing that like 4 more times. I don’t know what the odds are but we ended up only out our original 10$ That’s was 4 years ago haven’t played with them since.

This is a fucking lie you nigger. I'm with this girl for over a year now, I was her first kiss and first partner. She has a gorgeous supple 19 year old body. She is cooking dinner right now. All she ever wants is to cuddle me, kiss me, and please me. Insecure attachment style. She agrees with virtually everything I say and do. I have molded her brain. The only thing she is adamant about is fidelity. She is like a stray puppy. This year has been the worst year of my fucking life. I cannot remember ever being so depressed or having suicidal ideations so often. I miss being single. I miss pulling new whores and not knowing what happens. I miss being lonely. I miss adventures and feeling alive. I am dead inside now. Every time I try to leave this girl she says or does something that makes me reconsider. She has no family, no friends, no support system. I am the only meaning in her life. I would give up my entire crypto portfolio I've had since 2017 just to erase me from her memory, or take a time machine back and never meet her.

The only lottery ticket worth buying is the first 1, as you odds go from zero to almost impossible. People buying a bunch of tickets are brain dead. 1-2 times a year I buy 1 ticket when jackpot is $300 mil plus, mostly for entertainment value. $2 powerball ticket for a few minutes of entertainment and day dreaming.

Anyone buying weekly lottery tickets deserves to be poor.

Once the jackpot reaches really large sum, technically it is a "good deal". Odds are 1 in 300 million, so if jackpot is 600 million for a $2 ticket that is more than the break even point once you include smaller prizes.

Of course, taxes and multiple people hitting jackpot fuck this up, but its still an interesting counterintuitive thought.

FPBP. It's average returns for bitcoin are like 360% per year, so at the very least they'd nearly quadruple their money dumping it into bitcoin. If you spend $200/yr on the lotto, that's like getting a free $600 every year. That definitely beats expected winnings for lotto tickets AND you get to AAAAAAAAAAAAA and OOOOOOOOOOOOOO post all year long as you ride the bitcoin roller coaster.

It can be a fun way to make a girl feel special. Bla Bla I never do, this but I'm feeling a little wild and lucky tonight. Buy a $2 ticket for you and her. It's so cheap and lazy too, I like to pull it out when it's time for spontaneity but I don't feel like actually doing anything. Also a good way to feel her out on how she might handle a windfall when you do the whole 'when I win I'm gonna X'.
Getting real sick of my current bitch though. Thinking I might end things and pick up this freaky slampig that does everything as my main. I hate to dump a redhead but she doesn't do anal and is just kind of lazy in general. Need to hurry up and decide because a week longer and I'll have to get her a Christmas present.

Nope, depending on the rules if you buy every combination, you'll win every prize. If prizes are allowed to rise according to a schedule without a cap, eventually the expected return for every ticket is positive and it makes sense to buy as many combinations as you can. There are people who go around the world abusing this aspect of lottos to make money.
