2023 LC Thread - It was predetermined that I would change the thread title (Part 1)

It pays per ticket. The reason to buy more than one is in case somebody else also wins. If you buy one ticket and somebody else wins, you get 50%. If you buy two, you get 66%.

But you’re right, it would definitely look bad. So you can’t buy 50. But I think you could buy two or three and just say that was your lucky ritual.

Or buy a ton including a bunch of losing numbers.

1 ticket because of sort of an inverse concept of bankroll management. There’s probably ways for them to claw back the money with a presumption of guilt rather than proof of guilt. Risking not getting any of the money is just extemely bad strategy

This is interesting. I was originally going to say as many as possible to reduce the amount of a split you would have to pay out, but then I though, jesus its 1.3 billion. Do I really need to fuck someone over for 1.2 billion when I could have 600 mil and NOT fuck someone over? How much do I really need?

Actually the lottery wants you to functionally buy duplicate tickets. As you probaly know there are additional non-jackpot prizes in the lottery (if you miss by one number for example, you get 20k). Most states offer an optional “megaplier” you can purchase that would give you a multiple (usually 2x natch) of these prizes. You are literally buying a duplicate ticket that is ineligible for the jackpot. A quick check of the distributed prizes suggests that around 20-25% of tickets take this option. I wouldn’t worry too much about your multiple ticket strategy raising eyebrows.

This is why people think Walgreens is shutting down stores due to shoplifting, due to stuff like this:

Is the snail smart enough to board a plane? Can I encase the snail in concrete?

Yeah, I’m really gonna need all the ground rules on this one.

3" thick plexiglass box so I can see it and know where it is at all times.

There are plenty of terrible ways to die in scenarios where I don’t have $10M. I’m gonna go ahead and secure that bag.

Still got to put the box in a safe with a camera on it at all times. Maybe even have someone monitor the feed.

You’re mistaking cause for effect.

IOW:

You never know when the snail might break through the glass in which it is encased.

Can never be too careful.

Better hope your crazy ex-gf doesn’t decide to free it.
