Nah, I know that "you can't win if you don't play", but I won't win if I do play.

I would normally buy one ticket when it gets this big but I don't feel like going out and potentially getting covid.

Exactly. Though to be honest I wouldn't anyway, not my thing. My parents would be all over it though, buying multiple tickets.

Fuck it, I'm gonna risk it. I'm dropping 2 dollars for a ticket. If I lose, then I'm done, I've lost everything. But it's worth the risk.
If you guys don't hear from me again it's probably cuz I couldn't afford my internet anymore. Wish me luck

I bought some last drawing and I got ZERO numbers out of 5 quick picks. I know that it is basically impossible but not even a single number, lol.

These are mostly just anecdotes in these articles, of course. But there have been more rigorous studies about lottery winners that I unfortunately can't find the links to anymore. If I remember correctly, it was around the $10 million mark where the scale tips past 50% chance for the winners of large sums of money to end up destitute, dead, or in prison within a few years. It's been a while since I read the study, though, so I might be a bit off on the numbers.

Still, the fact remains that winning a large lottery is more likely than not to make your life miserable, not better.
