Four. If someone wins, I'll go back to one ticket to game. I will keep buy the same numbers till I will.

>>11457319

>>11457331

1 is the only correct answer.
Multiple tickets doesnt significantly improve odds.

I bought 4 tickets. Btw you can buy tickets online! Don't even have to leave the house anymore.

>>11457593
That is dangerous

>>11457619
there are reliable online services like theLotter

500 tickets. if i win i'll start the chainlink fomo bullrun

>>11457681
It's illegal for a non-authorized retailer to sell tickets, and what stops them from sending you the winning ticket?

>>11457586
2 actually.

>>11457593

are you sure that's even legit?

The odds are complete shit

...but someone has to win

>Not if it's rigged
this is the reason you can't be anonymous while claiming the prize money in most states

i threw 10 bucks at it

>>11457771
Might as well give you a shirt with a giant sniper target on it with your winnings if that's the case

>>11457771
>>11457799
>so what are you going to buy with the winnings
a gun

You can do a ((trust)) to get around this though

>>11457799
well it is the case and your statement isn't inaccurate. lotto winners are fucked the moment they win unless they're smart. not because of violence but because of the greed of friends, family, and acquaintances

>>11457847
>doesn't know about trusts
>thinks it by them
trusts are designed to keep them out of your money and are based.

>>11457703
No one knows what it is. The numbers aren’t pulled yet. They’re a bunch of ping pong balls rolling around in a bigger ball.

>>11458052
>not enjoying the fantasy of being hundreds of millions richer and the moment of it
It's very obviously a long shot and most people are well aware of that, but hey, "you never know." You can responsibly gamble. I spent $10 on tickets today when I went out to lunch.
Now the poor fuckers who are always at that place buying scratchoffs, those are the people you should pity.

>>11457713
Yes, it's the website the physical tickets tell you to go in my state

>>11457215
Feel like a fucking retard, lost the ticket in the parking lot while loading groceries. Went back to look for it but nothing and the reason why it was lost was because some fucking nigger was accosting me to use my phone after I told it I didn't have a phone and called me a liar.

Goddammit.

>>11458763
It was the winning one anon.

if i win im going to put it all into chainlink

anyone know where i can watch a livestream?

Damn you right instead of this we should have the 9999999999th fucking crypto thread

Went all in boys, and in a matter of minutes I’ll be a multi millionaire. I’ll see you lads on the other side.

>>11458874
God speed, and don't let any niggers near you.

where can i see what the drawing was

>>11457215
0. I really thought about getting like $10 worth, but as I was walking by the lotto place, I started to think about food and getting a burger instead. So I went to Super Duper and bought lunch. I'd say that's a better use of my money.

They have to be in order, but hey, getting the 5 numbers in any order is still a 1 in 198,890,850 chance. You were so close.

do you even know math?

>>11459101

>No winning ticket sold in California
Thank god, was going to be kept up all night thinking about that fucking ticket lost.

>>11457215

I literally forgot.

I've been joking about it all day so much that I actually forgot to get any.

So if the winner is in New Mexico - I'll just kms and be done with it.

>>11457215
0. None of you are going to win or will ever escape wage slavery. God will never end punishing you racists.

>>11459121
thanks fren. apologies for calling you brainlet.

>>11459132
you still could have won the 1M prize

>>11459150
oh fuck off.

>>11457319
no mate you're the fucking brainlet here. if you buy another ticket your chances literally duplicate, the think is it goes from ultra dogshit odds to only super dogshit. it is equally retarded to buy 1, 2, 3 or whatever the fuck number of tickets you buy, because in each ticket the chances of winning do not cover the price/reward ratio. but i didnt expect brainlets in biz to understand basic probability so keep on thinking whatever you think is right.

Only got 1 ticket. Hope only whites win.

When is the next drawing?

Did anyone win the next drawing on the 23 is still for 1 billion.

>>11459166
>chances go from ultra dogshit to super dogshit
>spending more money is better
what a shit argument. you really are retarded

>>11459166
>I hate people having some fun for $2

It's indefinitely easier and more likely for me to teach myself to be an ascetic and attain inner peace than it is for me to win the lottery.

>>11459132
Somebody in cali won 5 numbers

>>11459136
We're not racists. 4chan is a board of peace. You're just a human biodiversity denier. You can't fix a problem unless you understand it. Reject willful ignorance and embrace the truth.

>>11459166
i'm tired as fuck. trying again
>ultra dogshit odds to only super dogshit
>it is equally retarded to buy 1, 2, 3 or whatever the fuck number of tickets you buy
>chances of winning do not cover the price/reward ratio
obviously, it is stupid to expect to win, but to throw down $2 for a chance to win $1 billion is a no-brainer for non poorfags. what is your fucking point retard?

>>11459204
no, i clearly stated that buying any number of tickets is retarded, regardless of the number. let me see if i can make this clear to a ultra brainlet

if you're betting to 2x your money, you should always bet if the chance of that happening is higher than 50%. doesnt matter if you fail, it was still the smart thing to do. lets imagine that in a lottery you have a 1/100,000,000 chance to win, which means that for every dollar you bet, you should be playing for a prize of at least 100 million dollars, but that never happens. the ticket price / prize ratio does not cover the actual chance to win it. maybe ease on the dunning kruger a bit instead of instantly calling others retards just because you dont understand 5th grade probability

>>11459256
No fren, you cannot have fun!
You also can't value anything else other than the cost of the ticket and it's expected value given probability of winning.

>People who make these meme undergrad arguments are cringe.

>>11459256
you would probably fuck up your whole bankroll real quick with that mentality if you played poker

>>11458966
the chances to get those last three digits with a value greater than 50 is very high and the megaball is always 7,15,30,or 23

Well, that was a bust

Who here /backtodependingontheirLinkstack/ to make it?

>>11459210
>le "its only 2 dollars bro XDDD" meme

Multiply that buy 1 million retards and thats $2 million made by selling worthless pieces of paper. And people still get amazed when they look at the wealth gap lol its like you people enjoy being poor. Dont forget to buy the latest iphone

>>11459388
Why is there always at least one of you that get's incredibly butthurt whenever there's a lotto rally?

>>11459405
They’re mad that they’re poor while the government makes money and lotto players have fun and excitement. To mask their bitterness they play it off as pseudo-intellectualism to fuel their illusion of superiority to “the common masses”.

>>11459405
He wants us to pump his 401k instead. What a fag.

>>11457215
My brother almost one the Pick 6 lottery once but this chink bitch cut in front of him in line and got a few quick picks and my brother found out like a week later that she won the jackpot, but it was randomly generated by the machine so I mean he would've had to be at the machine at one exact moment to get the same numbers.

$22 worth
I should have went with the megaplier

>>11459185
Next Tuesday

>>11459507
Yes make your paper 33% more expensive that’s the key

buying more than a couple is degenerate behavior.

>>11458369
desu when I see people buying tickets most of the time I think they're degenerates. But when there's $1b on the table and I see them come in and drop a few bucks, that's worth the money desu. $2 for a 1/306,000,000 shot at $500m after tax

>>11459297
It's $2. Rob me of my whole kit kat bar bankroll.

>>11459840
still technically a bad bet, but if no one won tonight and it goes up to like 1.5 billion then it's gonna be worth it to buy a ticket or two instead of getting a coffee in the morning

None, I don't gamble.

>>11460019
>Nope, I’m a pussy.

Gotcha.

>>11457215
$20

>>11458823
>market cap

>>11457215
$20 worth.

0 because I can maths
After reading this thread, I'm ashamed to be a part of this board.

>>11460352
when it gets this high people will take the chance. yeah the math isnt on there side but at least on person may when it

>>11459477
The machine probably has an algorithm to generate the numbers consecutively independent from time or the internet.

Business and finance: lottery ticket discussion.
Yup. We are definitely at the end of the current bubble.

I'd honestly rather go play poker or some shit, at least something that you can tangibly adjust the probability towards winning.

>>11460019
Every choice you make in life is a gamble.

>>11457856
One of them actually had his brother put out a hit on him since he figured he'd be next in line to receive the money.

Did anybody win tonight's billion dollar prize btw?

>>11460652
nope 1.6 billion est. now

>>11460655
Damn, that's the new world record.

I might actually buy a ticket sheet now. That's $10, right? I'll just do that instead of getting drunk this weekend.

>>11460662
10$ is 5 tickets
out of my 5 tickets I only hit 1 out of 25 numbers and 1 out of 5 megaball
so my megaball got me $2 back I lost 8

the odds are 1 in 302 million

>>11460673
I thought it was like 1 in 128 billion or something crazy.

>>11460669
I got mega ball on one. How do I even redeem the ticket?

>>11460673
Pretty much same as making it with crypto.

>>11460682
Take it to pretty much any gas station.

You're better off buying some hohos with that dollar. You'll get more enjoyment out of it. And you get the enjoyment of knowing that you're not delusional.

>>11460655
If no one won it might even go over 2 billion by Tuesday

>>11460772
I can't find any confirmation nobody won.
However, if nobody did, there's the entire weekend to feed the jackpot. Whoever wins, if they take the annuity, might be the first lottery billionaire in history even after taxes.

>>11460918
http://www.megamillions.com/winning-numbers
15 people got 5 of 5 but not the megaball

>>11460918
Fuck annuity, I’m taking that lump sum and showing 4chan just how fast a billion dollars can evaporate!

>>11460918
it's already confirmed, I use lottoland from aussie land to get cucked all the way here in straya, and they already confirmed nobody won the jackpot, 2.2 billion bitch.

>>11458005
Is that because you didn't buy a ticket?

Lottery is for white niggers. Don't be a white nigger for god's sake.

>>11457215
0

>>11460918
hey nigger, at this point it's pretty likely that more than one will win, since every faggot and their mom will be buying a ticket. I expect the jackpot to hit $3 billion.

>>11462787
The odds of multiple people winning is rough to calculate.

>>11460192
>>11460640
There's an old saying, a fool and his money are soon parted. Applies to the vast majority of this board.

>>11457319

Retard, you should always buy two, the difference between 1 and 2 tickets is proportionally the biggest.

For four bucks your odds go from 1:300 million to 1:150 million.

Personally I bought 10 tickets for 20 bucks. It makes sense to just buy a bunch of tickets whenever it's a record jackpot and literally never gamble otherwise.

>>11457215
0 because I'm not fucking retard.

>>11463137
You sir are an idiot, your chances increase exactly the same for each additional ticket you buy. Going from 1 to 2 tickets doubles your chances because you double your buy in. Buying a 3rd increases by only 50%, because you only increased your buy in by 50%, but you still increased your chances by another 1:300,000,000.

The only ticket worth buying is the first as you go from zero chance to 1:300,000,000.

That first $2 at least gives you the entertainment that you might win (you won’t). Everything after that is just pissing money away with no added entertainment value.

>>11463286
You won’t be saying that to me when I’m on my yacht faggot. And it’ll be because I bought 15 tickets.

>>11463286
It's entertainment your right so let him enjoy his entertainment. Personally I always buy 4 lines if I play because it seems worth it to double my chances twice for only $8, to each their own though.

>>11463359

lets assume you buy 25 tickets a year at $2 each. If you invest just that $50 bucks every year for the next 30 years with compounding 7% returns you would have $5343.

>>11457215
did an office pool. we had a nice laugh about the idea of all of engineering quitting together. we actually won a few small prizes so we're up.

i'm going to push for letting it ride on tuesday rather than paying everyone out their $15.

>>11463459

Yeah but you could say that about anything a person buys.

>>11457325
explain to a brainlet how it works then

>>11459166
Your odds get better very slightly
But the money you spent on the ticket always goes up by a flat amount
