I had 2 and the powerball about 6 months ago. Not a big deal, except I was only off on the other 3 numbers by a combined 10 digits. And the jackpot was $775 million.

I once had a dream I bought two random lottery tickets for me & an older relative. I looked at the ticket I was giving away, and knew it was going to be the winner. It had mostly classic 80s football jersey numbers: 12, 16, 22, 28,34 and 3. Then I woke up.

Fast-forward a week, and he & I are eating at a casino, and realize it's almost time for the powerball drawing. So, I quickly went to the gift shop and bought two random quick-pick tickets. I looked at the numbers, one of them had 12, 16, 22, 28, 34 and 3!!! No lie. It was fate. I told him about the dream. Feeling superstitious, I said if I don't give it to him and keep it for myself, it may not win. He said "We'll just sign the back of the ticket and we'll both be millionaires." We did and later checked the results.

Not one single number came up.

The people shitting on you for playing will never win.

If you play, you have a very small chance of winning.
If you don’t play, you have zero chance of winning.

Hard work is what successful people do. Stop contributing to the lower element of society.

You’re right, but there’s nothing wrong with enjoying cheap entertainment a couple times a week for a few dollars.

Do you consider losing money entertainment? Are you the guy that goes to a casino, loses $200 on 4 bets and say, “aw shucks, it’s entertainment.”

Be better. That’s not what successful people do.
