If you habitually buy these, you deserve to be poor.
I see the most pathetic washed up individuals barking numbers at the cashiers, and I just want to shake them stupid. SAVE YOUR MONEY! BUY SOMETHING USEFUL! STOP ACTING LIKE A NIGGER WHO CAN'T SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREES! Do you really need to be a loser every fucking day?
The lottery is one of the things that reminds you that poor people are poor for a reason: because they're stupid.
I bought like $100 worth over a week, and didn't win anything. Then I thought, "Huh, this is retarded." and I stopped.
I buy one only when it exceeds 300 mil. Probably play for like $20 and then remember in a week or two that i played and go and see if i won
Why is it that I've only ever seen whites play this shit? Fucking retards
What is something useful you can buy for the price of a lottery ticket?
Grocery?
I'll occasionally throw ten bucks or so at it if the jackpot is $500 million or more.
It's worth it just for the daydreams imo
>feeling superior over something so trivial
I don't buy lottery tickets either, but why do you care what someone else does with their money??
You aren't a LIBERAL are you?
Let's say you're one of the "good ones" and buy one $2 ticket a week per year. That's $104. That's two months' worth of groceries, or a car insurance payment, or a mortgage payment, or a few tanks of gas. But no, you had to spend it on useless paper.
They sell lotto tickets at every grocery store.
Only conservacucks care about what other people spend their money on, they're always bitching about niggers buying jordans and designer clothes when they could "invest in so many better things". Fucking cucks cant mind their own business
That's not a smart way to think about it—if you're buying lottery tickets habitually (as per OP's post), then you're spending x * price_of_a_ticket over time, which is certainly worth something / equivalent to more meaningful purchases elsewhere.
My wife's dad is on welfare, disability and food stamps and he spends $50 a week on lotto tickets then bitches about Republicans.
This is why my wife loves me, because I'm not a leeching loser fuck.
Every time I go to the gas station by me there are always 2-3 60+ year old niggas posted up buying tickets and scratch offs all day. Come on nigga you know even if you won you would spend it all in less than a year on blunts and hennessey
>being mad at people giving money to the state to pay for shit
It's like you idiots actually want to be taxed more. Let them buy lotto tickets in peace.
>That's two months' worth of groceries
What, $100 is like a week worth of food, it definitely not an entire year of insurance or mortgage like it is of playing and hope and if you are paying the gas jew you are already losing.
>$10 at a time
>$20 at a time
Fuck its these tards that piss me off most, the likelihood of you winning by buying multiple tickets is utterly insignificant. If you want to buy then just for fun buy only one, because you have basically the exact same chance of winning.
>which is certainly worth something / equivalent to more meaningful purchases elsewhere.
It just means you have a couple more bucks to be taken away from you by taxes and healthcare.
My Dad's buddy won 2 million off the lottery ten years ago.
>$100 is like a week worth of food
What in the everloving fuck are you buying at the store, Gwyneth Paltrow? A month's supply of rice is less than 10 bucks. A dozen eggs are $2. I can get a bushel of apples now for like $3. A loaf of bread is 99 cents. High-end deli meat is like $3.50. You sound like you're terrible at budgeting.
I literally won the lottery before you faggot, and not just a little bit of money. You see people with a social life tend to take part in sentimental traditions with other people just for the fun of it and the bonding experience. At work me and a few friends all chip in to get lottery tickets every two weeks, and I'm glad we did because we won a huge jackpot a few years back and split it between the 4 of us. You can sit on your poor NEET ass and criticize people all day for miscellaneous choices they make that trigger your autism, but it won't make you any less poor or any more happy.
The fuck? Where do you live and shop at that you get those prices? Also, no one wants to eat rice and eggs for a whole month you dirty gook. What kind of life is that?
It's just the way of the boomer.
>Mow the lawn, take out the trash and clear the gutters

>Buy a lotto ticket
I used to work at a grocery store selling these damn things. We had niggers come in every day with binders full of numbers and calculations. They swore that they could figure out what number was "due" to win based off of previous winners. These fucks would spend 100 dollars a night. They rarely won, but when they did, they'd win a few thousand in total and give me 40 dollars or so as a tip.

Winning the lottery, not even once.
kek i spend over 100 a month on catfood alone.
are u actally bothered by otters spending more than you on food?
i spend 100 a week on food easy, i go out for dinner almost every night
you should try indulging in the finer things in life, rather than living on fucking nuclear holocaust rations... before its too late
(trump)
We're buying hope, dammit.
More tickets equals more hope.
Can you put a price on that?
>play the lottery every day since I turn 18
>won about $800 once, but must have spent well over $2000
>instead of spending $5 a day on lottery tickets, start using that money to buy stock in companies like Walmart and GE
>now I'm in my forties and am literally a millionaire
I shop at a fucking Stop & Shop you dumbfuck. I buy almost exclusively name-brand items. Raw meat is pretty inexpensive too. Buy it in bulk and then freeze it. Bam you have meals for a week. A box of pasta is less than a dollar. But ten. Too lazy to soak dry beans? Canned beans are less than a dollar apiece. Buy ten. You sound like an entitled faggot
>muh variety!
Make lemonade with your lemons you child.
If seven billion people each wrote out their own degeneracy lists, there doesn't exist a computer that could decide which degeneracy list to initiate. You don't get to fucken decide who's poor. Who you want to beat down and do fuck all about and blame the left. Go shit your pants. Entire threads are started even if one post is made. That formula south park spoke about is true. Internet destruction when?
>100 dollars a month on catfood
The fuck? My cat is 14 pounds and it takes her a few months to go through a 15 dollar bag of catfood.
>A month's supply of rice is less than 10 bucks
If you eat 12 year old portions and mix it in with your own shit before you eat it maybe.
You completely missed the point.
I indulge in a better form of gambling- investing in the stock market
*results may vary
He's one of those fresh off the boat mexicunt """immigrants""" who buys everything in bulk on the clearance shelves at walmart and shits on people who don't want to cook every single meal they eat from scratch every day of their life. The thing is they are used to living like gutter trash stretching a loaf of bread to last 3 months but most people in the American middle class don't live like that and NEVER have.
but it is a higher chance. you cant afford to waste $20 on lotto tickets or something?
wheres your fine foods??
cupcakes? deserts? pastries? no doughnuts? no cookies? no softdrinks?
what about going out for some texican food?
what the fuck do you eat that isnt made by a 90 year old italian farmer?
merde.
Who gives my ballbag for 2150 arrex
>A dozen eggs are $2.
You're getting robbed.
No, you, I pointed out it technically is a grocery and a better answer is needed.
hahha
"Winning the lottery made my money disapear and my caused my brain to swell"
If you look at the vast majority of people who receive a windfall, they're worse off 5 years later than they were before they got the money.
It's more like $1.50 but I was rounding up.
oh my
Ditch Stop & Shop for Aldi.
>cook every single meal they eat from scratch every day of their life.
I know you're playing with me here but let me tell you a secret: a week's supply of cooked pasta and meat with all the sauteed vegetables you want and the nice sauce you like is about an hour of work for less than 10 bucks. And you eat for a WEEK.
You tend to think that way when you're forced to pay them money, supposedly because they can't feed themselves
Honestly, if they're not buying lottery tickets they'll just spend it on something stupid, like alcohol, junk food, or some other form of gambling.
it was a joke, but its actually cause mine has struvite crystals in his urine.
he needs to be on a canned food diet because dry food has no moisture, and by nature cats are dehydrated and won't drink enough water on its own.
also the canned food is a kind that is low in carbohydrates, which are not a biologically appropriate nutrient for cats, and of which all dry foods are very high in. they raise the pH of the urine and make it more alkaline, promoting formation of the crystals.
the crystalls eventually nucleate and form stones, which can cause a blockage in the urethra, which is deadly within hours. for male cats crystals in the urine is a very serious life-long issue that can only be treated.
it never really goes away, even with special vet food that breaks them down and makes the urine more acidic.
so he has to be on high quality canned food the rest of his life.
all canned foods have high moisture (more than double what a cat would get if it ate dry food and drank from a bowl), and its low carb as well, which is more expensive.
he also drinks out of a cat water fountain now too, because running water entices them to drink more.
now when he pees in the litter box, he leaves massive puddles, rather than little squirts of liquid the size of a quarter.
the large and very frequent passings are good because the larger amount of water he is ingesting also dilutes his urine, which lowers the pH and stops the crystals from clustering
>won the actual lottery
>lost the genetic lottery
Kek
I've been meaning to try the Aldi in my town but the fact you have to pay for your own bags is a turnoff.
Does anybody understand this shitty picture? Anybody? Is it like the refuses to heil guy only completely false?
You have hands and arms. Probably have some old bags too.
Everyone has a laptop but her. She is poor.
Paper is a better store of information
They won't turn me away for bringing in old bags? I hear conflicting things thatyou have to buy *their* bags. And I get that I have hands and arms, but I usually try to get my month's grocery shopping out of the way in one go so bags make it easier.
They pile up the empty boxes from store shelves in a big cart. You can take as many as you like, free.
Or, you could buy 20 Aldi bags and still be well ahead of Stop & Shop.
You are so full of shit, a week supply of pasta alone will take at least 10 minutes a day by 7 days, or 70 minutes just to boil. Show me some receipts or links.
lemme spell it out for you poorfag
they all have laptops, while she is using a paper notepad, because she cant afford a laptop
Depends on where you live. A dozen eggs costs me ~$3.50 to ~$5.00 depending on the markets I go to in Los Angeles.
...
Are you a woman? Is everyone? Make a FIAT MONEY INTEREST PAYMENTS thread. Make a derivatives thread FFS. Kudos to the guy who pointed out the casinos known as stock markets
>10 minutes a day
wut? He's obviously just making a big pot of it for the week. There's no need to cook a fresh meal everyday.
>70 minutes to boil
In 70 minutes, that pasta will have died a thousand deaths
I thought Americans being unable to cook was a meme, but apparently it's not
Maybe stop being a fatass and do your own research.
Confederate generals often were the head of the lottery commissions in the postbellum South. PGT Beauregard made a personal fortune from just providing his likeness to the Louisiana Lottery Board
By the powers of the self driving hard drives, three. We will not melt in a fire like the cameras that filmed the nuclear explosions for some reason. She won't do better in her studies? Jeantel in trayvon trial is like you. Paper lasts longer. Won't corrupt as quick. If you wet it and let it sit there it should be fine depending. And if left to dry eventually. Go wet a usb stick
He's for some reason saying 10 minutes a day is an unbearable amount to of time to wait for food and tries to make it seem larger by combining the amount of time in a week
There is literally nothing wrong with buying the smallest single ticket regularirly. It's almost no money invested but it's an infinite amount of better chances of winning than not buying any ticket.
Any FURTHER tickets though are a complete waste of time and money.
So buy that 1 dollar ticket, but stick to that.
Is anything cheaper in LA? Serious question. You guys grow all the produce in CA but I still hear that it's still ridiculously expensive.
It's unlikely you'll lose all $104, You might lose a total of 70$, with 34 in winnings. But even so, if you added up every mcdonalds over the course of a year that person has, it would very likely exceed $104
So why don't the McDonalds workers feel as angry about people buying Bic Macs, as you do lottery tickets? Why always pick on lottery tickets when most people (yourself likely included) spend more or equallyu useless stuff.
What about poor people who spend $104 a year on beer, few would begrudge a responsible poor drinker 1 beer per week, but you begrudge him that same lottery ticket
Sorry, it's actually 1.5 dozen eggs for that price range.
if you don't spend any money at all and you live like a hermit you'll be a billionaire in no time
this is a true red pill
>shits on people who don't want to cook every single meal they eat from scratch every day of their life.
Because those people are scum.
>cupcakes? deserts? pastries? no doughnuts? no cookies? no softdrinks
>eating cake and sugar water
No, thank you.
>fine foods
Food is food. The best is the cheapest while also being most nutritious(lots of rice, beans, potatoes).
If i play lotto I have 1 in 10000000000000 chance to be rich, if I don't I have 0 chance of being rich.
Let me daydream once in a while user.
You don't know what is like to be paying a 1.5 million mortgage, to be the sandman, behind blue eyes.
Ah, I see. How much does he have to tip for pizza to be delivered in less than 10 minutes?
Tell us more, oh statistics wizard.
i like the scratch off ones i dont usually buy them but i have gotten lucky a few times by making $20-$50 from $1 i had in change
Because at least alcohol has an intended, immediate effect which you are paying for. ANd there's also the social element of alcohol (bars, parties, family gatherings, etc). I personally don't eat fast food, but that too has an intended effect: It's food, and you eat it when you're hungry. What is the immediate effect of buying a lottery ticket? You just wasted two dollars on a piece of paper.
I have done my own research and amazon says you lie about prices because your mom buys all your groceries.
No I am saying the time given was clearly a lie to seem convenient.
Half the money goes to charity and helps poor people anyway. They're just funding their own programs.
Why are you looking up groceries on Amazon you retard? Go to the store, look for the name brand items (those are items with the supermarket logo on the label if you're a sheltered kid who has never been shopping). A box of name-brand pasta is literally 89 cents, and even less if it's on sale.
Well as someone who is literally the example you listed (A poor person who buys on £2 lottery ticket per week) I can say the effect is much better than beer.
Beer is full of calories, generally unhealthy and barely gives me any effect. A lottery ticket is far more exciting.
>onger. Won't corrupt as quick. If you wet it and let it sit there it should be fine depending. And if left to dry eventually. Go wet a usb stick
why arent you using the superior technology then smart guy? surely you will have memorized every letter of every word by the time you finish carving them!
I am happy, but happiness doesn't buy you money, and winning the lottery is the only way I could possibly be both rich and NEET at the same time. Back in 2012 I read a line in a college self-help book "you will spend most of your life working, unless you win the lottery," and it was at that exact moment that I decided I was going to pursue this until it happens. The only person I ever heard of who also dedicated their life to winning the lottery at some point was Elliot Rodger, I reached the same conclusion as him that I have no talents that can get me to wealth, and if I ever want to live a high quality lifestyle without any money worries or sacrificing my time or labor to the system, the lottery jackpot is the only way to make it happen.
I spent over $6000 on lottery tickets through the last 4 years and am determined to win no matter what. Not like Elliot who literally spent $700 at once, more spread out- although last week I spent $50 on SuperLotto tickets, most I ever put on one draw, bought less this time. You can't stop me, I will keep playing and I will win, it is going to happen sooner or later.
Amazon is cheaper than my town's market, so I use those prices to give you the benefit of the doubt because anyone can verify your claims instead of pulling lowball numbers out of your ass with no proof.
So you're paying for a delusion. You know an LSD trip isn't much more expensive and is far more engrossing than a piece of paper right?
It's not a lie, you just don't want to see his point. He was obviously saying that he was making a large batch for the whole week.
I feel like this exact thread has happened before
With these exact responses.
You are my favourite poster on /r9k/, btw.
I've said what there is to say about it.
>A box of name-brand pasta is literally 89 cents
Cheap pasta boxes are literally not even one meal for one person and you are already looking at 10/day if you want to feed just yourself only on those.
>amazon is cheaper than my town's market
What welfare state do you live in? How's this one: My town's supermarket can kick your town's supermarket's ass.
Britbro Eliiot memorabilia collector?
>Cheap pasta boxes are literally not even one meal for one person
Lol ok fatboy
When someone buys a beer they are paying for delusion, their situation isn't actually better, the alcohol just affects their neurotrasmitters for an hour or so to give them a good feeling.
I don't do drugs personally, but I'm more interested why you have a specific opposition to the lottery, rather than all the other things poor people and even not so poor people waste their money on.
>Because those people are scum.
>Do you buy premade clothing? Did you know you could save so much money by just making it yourself? All you need to do it learn how to sew and hem. I rage everytme I see someone buy a new tshirt knowing they wasted so much money because they're LAZY. Haha, jokes on them.
Literally your argument right now. Not everyone lives in abject poverty forced to make their next month's worth of food in batches.
If it was so good, you wouldn't be so ashamed to show your receipts, liar.
I didn't say mine was good, I said you lie about feeding yourself on $50/month.
It has.
