Is it true that, as Stefon said, lottery justs exists as a way to tax the low-IQ?
This statements affects me almost personally, since my dad buys 3-4 lottery tickets per week.

It's not a tax, it's just profit. Taxes can be leveraged by the taxpayer, but lottery tickets are raw ass fucking.
>since my dad buys 3-4 lottery tickets per week.
Your dad is a retard
that's not very nice
If you buy 4 lottery tickets a week you deserve to be lobotomised
Based low iq dad squandering your inheritance
why do people rail against playing the lottery so much? it's not even very expensive. it's legitimately a bigger waste of money to enjoy a candy bar once a week.
basically yeah
I still do it because if i don't i might as well off myself
I rail against people who buy chocolate bars too
I'd take the candy bar. YEs, it gives you tooth decay and too many make you fat, but you get the pleasure from the refined sugar every time.
by comparison the lottery ticket leads to a massive sense of deflation every week when you don't win.
what 15 million to 1 chance of getting the jackpot? No thanks
Some punk motherfucker wins the lottery every week. EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. WEEK. Someone wins the lottery AND JUST GETS 20 MILLION DOLLARS FOR FREE. AND IT WILL NEVER BE YOU
BECAUSE YOU DON'T BUY LOTTERY TICKETS
YOU'LL NEVER BE RICH YOU FUCKING FAGGOT NIGGER PIECE OF SHIT
FUCK YOU NIGGERRRR
>HURR ACTUALLY I HAVE A DEGREE IN MATHEMATICS AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT
STFU NIGGER, SOMEONE ELSE RIGHT NOW IS BEING GIVEN 20 MILLION DOLLARS JUST FOR BUYING A FUCKING PIECE OF PAPER WHILE YOU'RE STILL POOR, WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO TALK SHIT NIGGER
His gambling addiction is not his fault
ok karen
>ok karen
Really? And you're a name fag. Please kill yourself asap
^^^^ No. of times this Trudeau nigga has played lottery: 1,000
No. of times this Trudeau nigga won: 0
American powerball odds of winning jackpot: 1 in 292,000,000
Now imagine 292,000,000 tickets stacked up in a massive pile infront of your house, now 1 of those 292,000,000 tickets is the winning ticket
This is why I dont play the lottery.
Stef often over-complicates things, that take is such an occasion.
It's just basic statistics. The chance of winning is about equal to finding a suitcase with 1 million on the street. I believe in God and if he wants me to be rich, he'll let me find that suitcase
Lottery tickets are cheap, smokers smoke the price of 4 tickets a day.
There is no harm in buying a lottery ticket once in a while even if chance of winning is astronomically small.
it's luck
as long as it doesn't consume significant amounts of money it's not that harmful
the chances to win are one in million, so for most people it's a waste of money but if you don't play you can't win
It wouldn't be surprising if the lotto is just some money laundering scheme created by glowies.
>now 1 of those 292,000,000 tickets is the winning ticket
That's not even true, you still might not have the winner.
> "REEEEEEE stop buying Dairy Milk and stop having a name!!!"
Cope poof
>it's not even very expensive
if you do it once a month. If you do it everyday, it adds up quickly
I thought it was a charity? My parents always tell me that they don't care that they lose because it goes to a good cause.
>Be poor and low iq
>Buy lottery ticket every day for 50 years
>Win $20M
>Blow it all on scams and junk
>Be poor and low iq again
Such is life
You can buy dairy milk but I'll call you a fat cunt
Molyneux is mentally ill and thinks everything is about government and taxes. Lottery is about people making money off gambling. We have the lottery and it's not taxed at all. So that oven dodging cunt Molyneux can suck a fat one
>crypyo is the high iq lottery ticket
>a way to tax the low-IQ?
nah, people waste money on all sorts of stupid shit. Lottery allows them to dream big. Your dad's wasting his money, but he's thinking about all the pussy he'd smash if he won. That kind of optimism is probably adding years to his life.
Imagine playing the lottery. I buy cigars and booze which is no better but playing the lottery is even lower.
I think the lottery is there to steal from idiots while glowies and masons pay off their assets in public mockery rituals. It will never be you because the winner is always pre-determined and its a hilarious way for the government/corporations to pay people off by tricking the public into thinking they have a chance.
>BE "HIGH IQ" REDDITOR
>"HURR I DON'T BUY TICKETS BECAUSE IMAGINE A PILE OF 66666 TRILLION TICKETS AND NOT ONE OF THEM..."
>MEANWHILE, SOMEONE ELSE JUST GETS 20 MILLION DOLLARS FOR FREE
But it's not a charity of their choosing. It may end up going to pro-abortion groups, or, shudder, pro-troon groups. If that happens your parents will basically go to hell. Sorry, bro
>It's not a tax, it's just profit.
From what I understand the lottery actually helps them feel like theres a chance they can succeed.
If that feeling didnt exist, they would turn to crime.
>because it goes to a good cause.
>The good cause of feeling politicians pet projects like schools were they are banning grading minorities because they're still failing
Yep, sounds like charity to waste money.
This. Everybody in this thread is gay. Lottery is fine.
>If that feeling didnt exist, they would turn to crime.
Sounds like criminally minded individuals anyways, or aka niggers.
It's fine If you're doing it now again, but people who do it multiple times a week relying on it to turn their shit life around... that's just pathetic
3 to 4 lottery tickets per week for a large pot drawing is not stupid. It's about evaluating risk vs reward. The odds of winning are tiny. But $3 may as well be $0. It's such a small amount of money that it doesn't matter.
So that's a good wager to make. $300 a week is stupid. $3 against a pot that's only $10000 is stupid too.
Well basically niggers are 90% under IQ 100, and 50% under IQ 70.
The dumb whites are mostly staying above IQ 80, so if they went criminal they would be supercriminals.
>But $3 may as well be $0
Nope. It adds up, and faster than you think.
>But $3 may as well be $0.
Most people playing lottery are buying scratch offs and they are not 3 per usually and they get multiple a day at 5 or 10 a piece.
Yeah, but that only makes it worse.
The average jackpot is 1/292,000,000
Dying from a passenger airliner crashing into you on the ground is 1/25,000,000
My dad bought a lottery ticket in the 1970s and won a few bucks but didn't cash out until recently and it equated to $97.
This guy gets it
