Bitcoin has better chance of large gains and the ticket never expires and has always been able to able to be cashed in for at least the purchase price.
Let's revisit con77 in a year after he's spent thousands chasing that "almost" moment and has nothing to show for it, but we all know this will never happen since people ONLY post when they win.
I get a $5.60 ticket for our Saturday draw. Rarely have any luck... except that one time I won just over $900. I was so dizzy with elation I made a post about it on Old Voat!
Back when I was young and flat broke I had twenty dollars left to my name. I walked into a video poker place and put the twenty in and max bet every time. The very last button push that MF hit the jackpot and I waltzed outta there with $1200 buckaroonies.
Me and my son walked out of a store last summer and he darted off to the side and came running back and said "dad, I just found a hundred bucks" and I said let me see it and I took it from him and started adding up the power bill, water bill, grocery bill, gas running him to ball games, clothing and video games I bought him and told him he still owed me about 200K. lol I gave it back to him though.

4 out 5 numbers and only $150? That's a ripoff - should be at least $150k if it's a multi-million dollar lotto. Same thing happened to me a few years back - played my state's million dollar lotto, got 4 of 6 numbers, I was excited thinking I'd won $50k - checked the back of the ticket and it was only worth $30. I was fucking pissed.
yeah i dont gamble. i have no hope or even desire to become rich. why? as soon as i become rich i'm gonna have lots of fake friends and relatives who loves me now lol

The trick is to realize you needed to try it once to see what the experience is, and now that you did it, you don't need go do it again.
If you want to gamble, bet on the house. Try the stock market.
