Tmaster148 12/25/22 10:23:26 PM #23:	$2 doesn't really buy you anything. Even items that cost under $2 can still cost more after taxes. A chance for $30,000 even if small has more value than $2. That's why your mom was traded the ticket. Now if the scenario was $100 or a 1/50,000 chance at $30K you would see a lot more people taking the $100, because $100 can actually buy you things. --- http://i.imgur.com/BBcZDLJ.png <cite>Tmaster148 posted [p:970408873] in Would you ...
