CRTICAL MASS!!!!!!! $640 MILLION DOLLARS AT STAKE



The $1 you spend on the ticket has no value in your life but the $640,000,000 you could win has tremendous value. You're trading something worthless for a chance at something not worthless. There's a huge fucking difference between spending $1 on a ticket and blowing $100/week on tickets that only pay back 50%.

In fact with the payout this high you have a positive expectation of playing. If you could play infinitely you would hit a $600M payout every 176M times you played.

Not if multiple people win, which they likely will tonight. I'm guessing 3-4 winners.
 
I want nobody to win to watch the mania continue. If nobody hits (unlikely) the prize would almost be guaranteed to reach $1.1-1.2 billion.
 
I'll be buying 100 tickets when I go out in a bit. Why the fuck not. I won't even notice the missing $100 and I'll be 100x more likely to win than most everyone else!

The guy in front of me in line at the convenience store bought $100 worth. I fucking hate being behind someone buying lottery tickets/scratch off tickets. Always takes for-fucking-ever.

That being said, I bought $10 worth on impulse. Fat bitch behind me in line be damned.
 
Me. The lottery is a tax on people that suck at math.

If you buy approx 175mil tickets you're guaranteed to win if you use every number combination possible. Better hope nobody else wins though. I bought some and I'm good at math. Why not? Doesn't hurt me if I lose
 
I don't care if the probability of winning is astronomically low. Getting into the thrill of possibly winning is worth the $5 I guess.
