It serms incredible to me to give over a billion dollars to a random person.
It’s because most people who win don’t have good habits with money, and they don’t know how to keep their mouth shut. They tell people, and they spend it frivolously.
You find out fast if your friends or family love you or not.
I mean the very fact that they are spending money on the lottery tells me that chances are they have bad spending habits.
And please, you, yes you, the person that buys lottery tickets and feels the need to explain to me how it’s ok, we get it you’re built different and aren’t addicted or whatever, but there are still so many better things you could be spending it on.
You sound like a recent Econ grad wielding little fun facts you learned to throw in peoples faces. Unnecessarily judgmental. People waste money on all kinds of things every day. It’s not a problem if it isn’t being done to inappropriate levels.
Hurr durr tax on the poor.
Spending money on something that is less likey to return a profit than it is to get hit by lightning isn’t exactly an indicator of financial literacy, tbf.
Ok but you sound like an asshole trying to belittle someone for the most basic facts. I love how you talk down and try and frame me as a youth, guessing you’re either pretty young yourself or need to stop with pathetic ageism personal attacks instead of debating the subject.
Also I guarantee you buy lottery tickets and are mad at the second paragraph, stay mad salty kid, spend your retirement fund on little pieces of paper.
I’m sure there are 100 things you spend money on that we could say the same for.
Jesus, people act like it’s impossible to play the lottery without ruining your life.
It’s possible to do hard drugs and not ruin your life too, but I wouldn’t suggest it.
