Winning the Lottery (video game edition)

[bikingjahuty]

I believe that lottery wins are rigged, either your on some list, or not. I used to know a man who would play everyday. One time in all the hundreds lottery tickets he purchased he won $50.00 and this man used the winnings to buy more lottery tickets. in fact this man spent $50.00 a day almost on lottery tickets and won only part of what the tickets cost him.

On the other hand there was this women who won every single day. She had a book of mathematical numbers that if you understand when the pre numbers come out you can win. she won all the time while the man would spend all of his money on scratch offs or occasional numbers and almost everyone was a dud for this man and every other man I lived with in the home.

This women had a cheat book that had all the coming numbers in different time frames I highly doubt she was psychic or lucky she was a cheater, but won just about every day.

She would cheer (thank you Jesus) every single day and brag of her winnings

No offense to anyone on here, but anyone who played the lottery regularly, like weekly, is being pretty foolish. I buy a Powerball ticket for fun most when it gets to be around $500-million, and do not buy more than two. I know that my chances of winning are next to impossible and that I have a better chance of dying on my way to the grocery store a mile from where I live like 10-tims over before I even got 4-numbers, but hey. It's mostly the experience of knowing that you could win that much money which is fun to think about for a day or two, but people who think about it constantly are really deluding themselves imo.

With all that said, I don't think it is rigged, just insanely unlikely, like almost impossibly unlikely anyone will win. Your odds of getting in a car accident, plan crash, struck by lightening, getting a flesh eating virus, finding an NWC cart, or a celebrity falling in love with you are all events that are significantly more likely to happen before you even win your local state lottery that has much better odds than Powerball or Mega Millions.

They made the codes in a way that chances are extremely small to win the J(h)ackpot.

Let's just say that you would have more chance to roll the dice and throw a 6 1 million times in a row, At least for the jackpot in my country wich they calculated since the chances of that are more likely however I can imagine that for lotteries with larger jackpotts chances are even smaller.

 I found a NWC cart in the wild in 2002. In 2008 I had necrotizing fasciitis(flesh eating bacteria). Out of the choices left, I'm hoping  a celebrity falling in love with me is next! (fingers crossed!)

I already own a house but my game room is the size of a closet so if I really had millions of dollars, I'd probably expand and add a room to the house for me or move and buy a bigger house.

Once I get a bigger gaming space I'd slowly start to expand into games and consoles I've always wanted, namely the Saturn and Dreamcast. I'd buy those elusive expensive games I've wanted but couldn't afford. Maybe replace some of my crappier copies of games with brand new ones.

On top of that I'd certainly buy gaming decor especially neon signs. And maybe an arcade cabinet or two. Oh who am I kidding? I'd love to buy a house with a liveable basement and make it into an arcade. Just buy a bunch of arcade cabinets and make it look like an old 80s/90s arcade scene.

Funny that you mentioned flesh eating virus, as I quite recently, and coincidentally enough, read this article about the odds of winning the lottery.

As for the other point, while I'm not exactly in the same level as most conspiracy theorists are as far as the lottery being rigged goes, I still believe it is, albeit not as drastic as some claim, but still in some fashion.

That women I was talking about used to brag say something about  that the numbers somehow repeat themselves. And are somehow connected to the date and time of certain years, or timeframes. She used to write down every single lottery's number that was a winning number and used to brag and say I knew that number was coming out. You see, she would somehow track the date and time of the year and she would win that way, a ton. Also she had books that gave her the heads up. I was broke ass at the time and although I never played the lottery I could have used her tatic that she used but. I think her tactic is cheating and I don't agree with it one bit.

She was no joke and yes that is how the lottery's is rigged somewhat, but even knowing this, it still don't make me want to do it, It's just wrong in my book. Plus that same womon stole my identry and bought a house in my name and treated me and other people like shit.

(edit) but how much she spent on the lottery I don't know
