Video Game Auction Watch / 1990 Grey Nintendo World Championship Cart Heritage Auction

« on: October 26, 2021, 06:08:39 pm »

The last one that sold went for $150,000 but that was a WATA 8.0. The new owner of that one is asking $270,000! This one is a 6.5. It's the second nicest copy i have seen. I would be shocked if it didn't go for at least half of the 8.0.

General / Re: Winning the Lottery (video game edition)

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.

 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!)
