My favorite joke is "I almost won the lottery but I was off by 6 numbers"

Friendly reminder that you have a better chance of dying on your way to get the ticket, than you do winning

So close!
Summoarpleaz t1_ius59ib wrote
Yes, but buying one ticket infinitely increases my chance of winning versus not buying a ticket!

I’m not a financial advisor but I’d get that invested in a Roth Mega Millions right away. This way it can’t be taxed.

Someone on WINS put it like this: you have a better chance of being struck by lightning, while simultaneously being eaten by a shark, than hitting the powerball.
Yoylecake6 t1_iuuai8t wrote
Yes. WE hit the powerball.

Bro, you’ve changed!

I rarely buy lotto tickets, and I haven’t for a few year, but the hours of fun I have imagining what I’d do with all that money is worth the couple dollars the ticket costs.

It's the monacle, isn't it? I'll chuck it after I vote, I think; for now, it keeps everyone guessing 🙂
ShalomRPh t1_iuutgj7 wrote
I think they were figuring the odds mathematically. Odds of being struck by lightning, x; odds of being eaten by shark, y; odds of both happening simultaneously, xy; odds of hitting the Powerball, z, where xy<z.

This is exactly my rationale for occasionally buying a ticket. True, the odds of winning are astronomical, BUT, sooner or later someone has to win, so why not take the chance. Worst case, I spent a few hours at the "Fantasy Island" in my head. My typical fantasies are based on the reality of my finances, so they're pretty mundane.

Bro you used to be French’s Yellow Mustard guy, now you like, “Grey Poupon.” Maaaaaaan fuck you!
tonyisadork t1_iuwq1e4 wrote
Odds of ‘this happening’ versus odds of ‘this happening at this specific place at this specific time’ (which would have to coincide with the same for the other event) are not the same odds, no?

It's just the other 5 numbers we missed
