    Damn it. Sleeper was right. I really need my $6 right now.

    ...I was a $ 4.00 winner, glad I don't have to split the winnings with anyone!

    Well once again, I didn't play so I "won" money. My "$2"(because Lord knows you dropped more than that on each drawing) is now being invested at a 7% annual return.

    Hope poverty is working well for you guys.

    You don't need an engineering degree to know that $.14 > -$2

    you also don't need an engineering degree to know you waste more than $2 on many things in your life.

    Depends how you measure utility and opportunity cost.

    Is there more utility in spending $2 to buy a 1 in 292M chance to become super rich vs. spending $2 on a cup of coffee?

    To those that would respond, "well the $2 spent to dream about winning the lottery is worth the money"; how does it feel when you lose and realize none of what you are dreaming about will come true?

    Anyways, I'll be a millionaire in 2 years. So enjoy!

    Do you buy the most economical brand of everything you can find? If not, you're wasting way too much potential investment money!

    You're not worth explaining anything to. It's much easier to just call you narrow-minded and move on.

    says the guy that tells people they should invest the $2 they spent on the lottery.

    Sleeper just wants to talk about a few things he learned in an Econ course. Just let it die.

    I spent $4, I won $4. Whether I won nothing or a small amount, it wouldn't even register a blip on my overall net worth. If that's the sort of thing that constitutes poverty, you must look at generic Spam as a holiday special sort of meal.

    I spent 2 and won 4 (only got the powerball). I increased my investment 100% in one day compared to Sleepers 7% in one year. On track to be a millionaire by tonight instead of 2 years!

    LIVING FUCKING LARGE!!!! With that kind of profit, you'll be able to tell people on a message board that you own McDonalds properties or something equally zany in no time at all!

    No that's crazy.


    I actually own a Wendy's. And I'll give you a god damned iPad if that's not true.
