[@maxheadroom1207]

Similar to the Ireland bond, here in America some states have whats called a "Prize-linked savings account". The way it works is that instead of giving out a small amount of interest to all of the savings accounts, they pool the total interest together and randomly give it to a select few every quarter or so. Depending on how much money you have it will increase the amount of entries (i.e. every $100 is one entry). Apparently, in the areas where this has been implemented, it has encouraged savings (especially amongst the poor). They aren't going to get excited about $1 of interest but the prospects of winning a lottery in which all they have to do is have money in a bank account makes them keep the money in there and not buy lotto tickets.

[@craftypam9992]

The UK has Premium Bonds, which work like that. When our big lottery started (in the 1990s), some of our firm put together a syndicate to play, putting £10 a week in. I opted out, that was a lot of money to me, to throw away on the off chance. Instead, I put as much as I could into the Bonds, till I matched theirs. If they won more than £10 each, they distributed it; less, and it bought extra entries the next time. I had my winnings automatically "reinvented" in the bonds. By the time I moved on, I had about £20,000 in the Bonds, and they had had enough wins to take themselves out for a celebration, six times. I eventually paid off my mortgage with the money, then paid my mortgage money back in to new Bonds. I am so pleased that I managed to resist the pressure to join the syndicate!

@Sheldon Cooper And "playing" is just feeding into the law of large numbers where you're playing against the house - and so the house always wins. You might not retire in your 20's, but at least you can retire in your 60's instead of never if you stop playing now.

[@barvdw]

I'll admit, I play on the lottery. It's gambling, and the most pure form of it. And it's the gambling part that gives me pleasure, the chills and adrenaline rush when checking your ticket in the machine (or by checking the numbers...). I won some 5 euro this week. I was happy. And I didn't spend it on new lottery tickets. I know they're excuses, but to my defence, I don't play at the end of the month or when I don't have money left to spend, even when I only play for the smallest amount possible, and a big payout generally scares me off in stead of luring me in. All in all, it stays a game I play that gives me some pleasure (also because of another hobby of mine...), without costing too much compared to my general income, because I noticed the adrenaline rush wasn't any bigger when playing for €10 or €20 than when I play for €2. And as said, the odds are as just as ridiculously low, so why play for more?

Maybe if that were the case people would choose to be taxed for things that benefit society and a whole instead of being tricked into participating me an optional one.

"Dreaming about winning reveal a lot about yourself" - I loved this part. In some cases you don't need to win the lottery to realize your dreams. Sometimes you need to take the risk (take a loan to create your business) or put yourself out there (quit your job to get your dream job). The second great learning from this video is the fact that expectations rise with your wealth. More money will just increase your appetite, they will not give you happiness if you couldn't appreciate your life to start with.

[@aarongold7220]

Here's my view on the lottery. If you're playing it because you're in financial turmoil and seek a bail out, you're doing it wrong. Don't play, you have a financial literacy problem. If you take your monthly discretionary spending and decide to gamble it on a scratch off, I think that's fine. I mean say you only have $5 of your monthly "for fun" money left for the month. You could treat yourself with a coffee from starbucks. Or you can buy a $5 stratch off, winn $100, you have a nice date night. or a few frugal nice nights out with your SO. Win $500, and you can suddenly do a lot with your fun money. Retiring early sound fun? Probably shouldnt have spend that extra fun money and saved it, it's better on average, but $500 today feels nice for those brain chemicals. Buy a new computer, or half an RTX 2080. Literally ask for a week off work to relax if you're feeling stressed(if you make under 30k/year). There's so much fun you can do with that. If you're ok with losing that starbucks coffee, why not? It's your for fun money. You could obviously be doing it too much. Like if you can afford $100 for fun money to throw at scratch offs a month, you should probably be looking at rebalancing your budget. Honestly the only wrong way to play the lottery is to buy any of the jackpot games that pool the money and roll forward the jackpot from the previous draw. There's are ridiculously unlikely to win, and in the event you do win, you're almost certainly going to regret it. You're taking a double gamble of winning a 1/300million then another gamble of 20% being that you regret winning anyway. To see how unlikely you are to win, imagine a world where inflation doesn't exist and the cost of a MegaMillions ticket never changes. If you spend $10,000 a year on lottory every year for your whole life, on average it'd take about 750 lifetimes to win the jackpot. And you'd still lose money. It's worth noting that the average american spends about $200 a year on lottery. At that average, on average it would take you 37,500 lifetimes to win the jackpot. Although the numbers I see on average spending don't specify how they come to that number. I fear they might just be taking the average spending on lottery national wide and dividing that by the 18+ population of the US. So it's possible that number is up to $400 a year, which is like 18,000 lifetimes to win.

Note: there are alot more steps to this I would do but this list would go on for ages if I listed everything, also the amount I would give to my family would be split up amongst them depending how close you where to me I wouldn't give each person $500k I would go broke in a few years then.

I tried fantasizing about winning the lottery and unfortunately I would get a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, I would get a mansion to bask in and travel the world

[@HermanWillems]

Lamborghini is achievable though. For example the Lamborghini Gallardo. But it's not a wise goal.

Love how you guys had my favorite KZbinr on there.

Honestly my lottery fantasy is just investing it and living off the interest to either quit my job or supplement my income. Which is probably why I've never bought a ticket.

People hate taxes but love the lottery Government: Taxes lottery anyway lol

[@Andrew300082]

I love when people ask me: what would you do if you won the lottery? Because I usually tell them it would never happen because I would never play...and I destroy the room. They're disappointed they didn't get an answer and I'm amused.

$12000 a year and they buy lotto tickets how?

[@MrSoldierperson]

Remodel my bathroom and kitchen.

[@thomaszabel1521]

Now you are making me rethink the $2-$5 I spend yearly on lottery tickets.

[@xponen]

whether you spend on small ticket or big ticket it is always the same, you will only get less than 100% of your investment if you win. People did an experiment, a KZbinr named Mr. Beast spend 50000 USD on lottery tickets and scratched them on camera one by one; the total amount of Win is always less than the total amount spent regardless of ticket price.

[@thomaszabel1521]

@@xponen Exactly why I spend less than $5 per year on it. I can afford $5 per year. And my expectation is that I will get $0 back on my investment, so my results have always met that expectation.

I actually love your mentality on the lottery, I have a plan for winning, but have never played outside throwing in on work pools, what are your thoughts on that? And I never thought of considering those dreams obtainable outside of lottery... but I am having trouble with compulsive behavior when payday hits that does not help me in the long run like going to fast food instead of the grocery store when I prefer to cook, but too lazy

at least Lloyd had a better chance at marrying Mary.

[@silentlybanshee6561]

I think of buying a house and ... well that's all. I'll probably help my family with the rest of the money. Amazing video like always, keep up with the good work ! Love from France

[@broadcase21]

In lottery we trust

[@almay9962]

I won $2,000 once I will win again, maybe bigger

[@Greenbearls]

The lottery is the best investment you can make.

[@sabrinasuarezarrieta5182]

Best duo ever i follow the 2 channels, guys your job is beautifull and so inspiring... Lots of love from Colombia

[@NoorAnomaly]

A few years ago my son came along with me while grocery shopping. He said we should buy a lottery ticket and become RICH! I told him the odds of winning were astronomically small. He did not believe me. So, to amuse him, I purchased $10 in numbers. The following morning, he leaped out of bed to check the numbers. We had won $0. Nothing. Nada. Since then, he's with me on not buying tickets.

[@blackspiderman1887]

Yeah, the money would definitely help me quit my job

[@usegnu1485]

I know an old dude who complains about taxes everyday yet spends probably 20 percent of his social security check on the lottery.
