Re: Powerball!

$20 per month x 12 months x 20 years= $4800
Thats enough to buy a 2g

$20 x 12 x 50 years= $12,000

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.

Wanna check your math there again?

20x12=240x12=2880 Thats enough for a 1g

Regardless, We can go back and forth about this. How about I cut to the chase. You are right and I am wrong. The lotto is a waste of money and you have to be out of you frickin mind to buy lotto tickets or gamble in some sort of way. Because 50 years down the road I can buy a DSM or gosh darnit a frickin EVO with all the money I "could have wasted" on my impulse to buy a powerball ticket for a buck with the 1:120,000,000 chance that I could win X amount of millions of dollars. Yep what was I thinking..

Re: Powerball!

I'll be honest and say that I wouldn't even want to win the lottery. I'm not saying that I would turn down XX million dollars if it was handed to me, but I'm quite comfortable with where I'm at right now, as well as where I'm headed. I think that having that much money just handed to you would ultiamtely leave a person unfullfilled, and unhappy. Now, if you saved, worked hard, and earned that much money, that would be a different story. It's funny how easy it is to spend money that you don't have to earn. If you earn and save it, you tend to think twice before you spend it. It makes you appreciate the things that you have so much more.
