The Powerball has been delayed, it was not pulled last night, they have been unable to count all the tickets in California. They will announce Joe Biden has win the Powerball later today.

Several years ago, I won the Publisher’s Clearing House thingy, at about $75,000 a day for life; and the motherfuckers rerolled.

Cheap bitches owes me my riches!

Correction: $225,000 a day for life.

That was when we became psycho bitchy.

75000 a month is about a million a year.

A lottery is rigged public theft/money laundering. Do you really think (they) would release that much money to someone not controlled by (them)? Not a chance. Same as the likelihood of you winning. Not a chance.

People do win. I've met a couple. Mind you, this is Australia where perhaps it's slightly more honest.

Yeah, I've met a few, including some family members. Never the bigger prizes, but occasionally someone would win a few grand or hundred.

In the course of my work dealt with a number of cases involving lotto winners. The biggest one was about 30 million.

The commonest gripe was people taking their relative or friend to court because they felt they didn't receive enough!

They would, but they would keep an eye on you. Now would some white supremacist win a major jackpot and fund a legit political group against (((them)))? Never.

I have always looked at the lottery as a voluntary state income tax with a possibility of a refund. Is it rigged? You bet your fucking ass. I have never known anyone personally who hit a jackpot but I know a few who got 5 out of 6 numbers and paid off their house, debt or whatnot.

I never play because I am not a lucky person. I never get a single number, even if I pick them out or the quick pick thing.

They’re waiting for the mail in tickets

I'll let you in on a little secret, The NFL is fake as hell too. A couple of holding calls, bad pass interference and key penalties or lack of in key points of the game is enough to determine outcome. Generally the last team to have possesion wins.

I bought 20 dollars of random generated numbers.. out of all my numbers I think I had about 5 that hit and not the power ball number on any...

I might as well have wiped my ass with the 20 dollars and flushed it.

But if I won I would become a modern day henery Ford creating a massive news paper that named the jew daily so I had to take my 1 in a billion shot

Just so happens the winner was in California, where the tabulating was delayed. Just a Cohen-cidence

Even if the lottery wasn't rigged; it works like socialism.

If you look at the list of weekly winners it's like lots of five dollar winners, ten dollar winners and not many hundred dollar winners and the big weekly prize isn't won by anyone.

Only idiots play that shit

[ - ] oldblo 1 point 2.6 yearsNov 8, 2022 11:39:36 ago (+1/-0)

Its called idiot tax for a reason. I would however ask when you only have a few dollars to your name and no hope for the future what is there to lose?

[ - ] Laputois [op] 0 points 2.6 yearsNov 8, 2022 12:02:21 ago (+0/-0)

a few dollars, when you need them most.

[ - ] dulcima 0 points 2.6 yearsNov 8, 2022 08:46:12 ago (+1/-1)

I was reading about that. Sounds as screwy as your elections!

In my work I've met a couple of lottery winners. Family disputes that ended up in court and one a case of a lady scammed out of her winnings (trusted the wrong people).

I once won $980.

Money always brings the shit out of the woodwork. I never would but if the stars are in alignment, universe plays fair for one time, won a huge jackpot the majority of people with my last name would appear out of nowhere with their hand out.

I looked at a list of lottery winners once. A few of them said something like, anonymous. This is when they collect it through a lawyer and don't put their name out there.

Hi uncle Robert! You were always my favorite uncle!

[ - ] RobertJHarsh 0 points 2.6 yearsNov 9, 2022 08:22:16 ago (+0/-0)

Exactly.

Current odds of winning Aus Powerball, 1 in 292.2 million.
How many times in the last several months where division 1 winner is not won?

You are better of being less desperate and entering a pub chook raffle.

Eh, nothing wrong with buying a $10 ticket every so often. I'm not a big gambler but I buy tickets in the superdraws - and I could win because I have a ticket.

I think an Australian has a better chance of winning our powerball than an American in their powerball. Like much of modern America, their powerball reeks of corruption.

[ - ] bl_nk 0 points 2.6 yearsNov 8, 2022 10:24:18 ago (+0/-0)

Isn't it all computerized ? wtf are they actually counting ? the system knows how many tickets we're sold already no ?

Any bets that a kike will win the whole thing

[ - ] Monica 0 points 2.6 yearsNov 8, 2022 15:19:43 ago (+0/-0)

I agree about the lottery being fake and gay.

If you stop voting then they don't need to rig them anymore and nobody will wake up to the nigger rigging.

With all the fuckery that has gone on in the last 20 years with elections, if anyone still thinks it’s not rigged then they can’t be convinced at all.
