When I win the Powerball jackpot, I don't actually get a Billion Dollars, but approximately only 273 Million Dollars, roughly the cash value of 433 Million minus 37% in taxes.
>>540636294with 273 million you can buy decent pussy
>>540636294People that play lotto don’t understand math.
>>540636294That's a lot of money for doing nothing. Anyway some scammer will win it. Its all designed to keep you playing
>>540636348At a certain jackpot size the lotto actually becomes a positive expected value gamble. The variance is sky high but there is a turning point. Would I pay $1 for a 1 in a billion shot at a hundred trillion dollars? Sure.
>>540636294Digits and I win the powerball
What time is the drawing on the 12th? I never played this shit but might try it for shits n gigs
>>540636554You don't understand math and are addicted to Copium.
>>540637133Well,. what does the math say about your chances of not buying a ticket?I don't pay taxes, at all lol. So, Ill spend ten bucks a month on lottery tickets, for the schools. Am I gonna win? Very likely not. However, If I don't buy one every so often, my chances go from very likely not, to absolutely not. So, meh. It all works out in the end.

If you buy me a ticket I can claim 100% tax free and I'll gift you 90% so you keep 900M
>americans pay taxes on lottery winningslol
>>540636294It's rigged. Eggstone won twice.
>>540637033Tickets sold until 10PM EST, drawing about an hour later, time the winning numbers and drawing results are posted varies widely. If everything goes smoothly, within 3 hours you know the>winning numbers>where any jackpot winning tickets and first five numbers matching tickets were sold>what the next jackpot is expected to beBut there have been many cases where technical difficulties in a state lottery system or the Powerball itself have delayed the results or even the drawing itself.
>>540637401Your odds of being struck by lightning by age 80 in the US is 1:15,300. Getting stuck twice is 1:9,000,000. Powerball odds 1: 292,201,338. Said another way, you have a 0.00000000342229781% chance of winning.
>>540636294its rigged.the jews/freemasons will never let an anti-semite get that much money.
I could definitely blow it all. It would be sweet
>>540636294>273 Million DollarsNot even worth it.
>>540637839I had to actually look this up. Seems this claim is inaccurate, but then the google AI asked me if I want to know where the money actually came from: Jeffrey Epstein accumulated his core wealth of nearly $600 million through a combination of ultra-wealthy patrons, high-fee consulting, financial mismanagement, and lucrative tax incentives.A comprehensive investigative report published by The New York Times concluded that Epstein was not a financial genius, but rather a "prodigious manipulator" who built his empire on "scams, theft, and lies."The Les Wexner RelationshipThe absolute foundation of Epstein's wealth was his relationship with billionaire retail magnate Les Wexner, the founder of L Brands and longtime CEO of Victoria's Secret.Power of Attorney: In 1991, Wexner granted Epstein complete power of attorney over his personal financial affairs.Financial Misappropriation: Epstein used this unchecked access to misappropriate hundreds of millions of dollars from Wexner's fortune.Asset Flipping: He purchased luxury properties and a private jet using Wexner's money, later transferring or flipping them to himself at steep, discounted rates.The $100M Repayment: U.S. Department of Justice documents later revealed that Wexner's legal team disclosed a $100 million repayment from Epstein in 2008 to settle claims of stolen funds.High-Fee Billionaire ConsultingEpstein positioned his firm, J. Epstein & Company, as an exclusive money-management service catering strictly to individuals with a net worth over $1 billion.
>>540638027Leon Black Fees: Private equity billionaire Leon Black paid Epstein a staggering $158 million between 2012 and 2017 for tax- and estate-planning services. This relationship continued for years after Epstein’s 2008 sex offense conviction, eventually forcing Black to step down from Apollo Global Management in 2021.Tax Havens and Strategic InvestmentsEpstein amplified his liquid wealth through highly profitable corporate structures and aggressive tax optimization.U.S. Virgin Islands Tax Breaks: Epstein established financial shell entities in the U.S. Virgin Islands. By exploiting the territory's economic development incentives, he saved an estimated $300 million in federal taxes over two decades.Venture Capital: He made direct investments in major modern tech ventures, including pouring $40 million into Peter Thiel's Valar Ventures between 2015 and 2016.The Core Asset Portfolio: Upon his death in 2019, probate court records from the U.S. Virgin Islands valued his estate at $577 million. This included $194 million in private equity/hedge funds, $112 million in equities, $56.5 million in cash, and a global real estate portfolio featuring a $50 million Manhattan townhouse, a New Mexico ranch, and two private Caribbean islands.>>540638006Totally worth it
>>540637907>struck by lightningAnd yet, they will keep drawing until eventually have winners, and you know what?Those winners had the exact same odds as you.Except they weren't cynical chickenshit LOSERS.
>>540636294That's still fuck you money dude. Sure it's gay, but I'm still buying a Mercedes SLR McLaren with that kind of money
>>540638282No class goyslop taste. Not getting something cultured like a Lotus Elise.
>>540636348Anything above $500,000,000 and you have Kevin O’Leary playing
>>540638370>SLR McLaren >Uncultured >A FUCKING LOTUSjfc anon. At least I'll be able to fit in my car. At least get something retarded in power like the evija or at least COOL like the esprite.. or just get the better elise, get a fucking exige. Dummy
>win a bunch of money>immediately buys an expensive carNGMI
>>540637133People win, you know?If you don't play, your chances go from miniscule to zero
>>540638591Gotta splurge on something. I'd keep living in my current house, build a bigger garage, and have 5 or 6 cars instead of 2.
>>540638816splurge on a sweet vacationgo to Paris or Tokyo for a couple weeks, take a Mediterranean cruise
>>540637133Above $1 billion I buy a ticket. Doesn't matter. $2 billion I buy two. Never will hit it but at a certain dollar amount fuck it.
>>540638876I hate vacations honestly. I make enough money to do a yearly vacation, but I haven't been out of the country for 15 years. Grew to hate traveling. Love driving though. If I could drive to Japan, I'd do that (as long as they made it fun to drive and not a continuous highway)
>>540639023With hundreds of millions you can live every day like you're on vacation.
>>540639336Exactly, that's why my vice spending would go towards cars. I love driving, and I love high performance vehicles. I wouldn't have 50 at a time, but I would have a revolving stock for 5 or 6 that I drive for a year or 2 and then swap for something else. My goal would be to drive every as many different cars from any year (would aim for premium trim levels of lesser cars) as I possibly could. That would be vacation for me.
>>540639575You can fulfill that fantasy as a valet, just don't get caught joyriding.
>>540639641Kek true, but I wanna hit the winding roads where I live in the foothillsnof Appalachia. I would get fired day 1 unfortunately. Its just simply a dream of mine. I have had cool cars in the past. Currently have a 99 Camaro that I've built a decent amount, 385 hp on the dyno. I'm about ready to move on to something else now though, just haven't decided what
