Frozenbeernuts 2,314 Posted January 13, 2016 This for sure. Give me 2mil and I'll never work again and be content. People get so greedy. I was arguing with my wife. I said always take the lump sum no matter how much they screw you. I said if I won the 600mil and they even offered me 10mil Id take it in a heartbeat. She flipped and said I was crazy. Bird in hand, I want for sure money now. If I took the payments something wacky would happen and someone would screw me and Id get nothing, I know it. Give me the lump sum even if it's complete and utter robbery. I wouldnt retire on 2 mil. I would make a lot more, over a million more at least, if i worked. The benefit loss alone like contributions to 401k, insurance, and pension wouldnt be worth not working. But i would never care if i was laid off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,433 Posted January 14, 2016 The lottery is a tax for people who are bad at math I am damn good at math and I still purchased some tickets. However, I somehow still think that the $10 that I spent on PowerBall was a better spend of my "tax" dollars than the tens of thousands that my local, state and federal governments piss away every year.

Kanil 520 Posted January 14, 2016 The lottery is a tax for people who are bad at math This is said a lot and while it's technically correct if you're looking at $ spent vs odds of winning (most of the time) it's pretty bad thinking in practice. While the odds of winning only say it's worth it if you're guaranteed to win $600M (without splitting) the lifestyle change between winning $50m and $600m is probably very similar for most people (travel when/where you want, never work again, help family out, etc..). So really, if you consider $50m (or $10m, or $95m or whatever it is) to give you the same life change as $600m (or $1.5b, or $900m, or whatever it is) then it's not really that bad of a play. Plus, the 3 days of dreaming about what I'd do if I won has *some* value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kanil 520 Posted January 14, 2016 with a jackpot of over a billion, the powerball is +ev no? If you're the only person playing, yes. I read somewhere that statistically speaking 2.2 people should have won last night due to the number of tickets sold so that brings the ev down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
