Yeah, I bought both PowerBall and MegaMillions this week. $1B and $640M jackpots. I have zero expectations, but habitually play because "it'd be nice."

Some Jabroni from New Jersey will probably win both of them.

I grew up on welfare, being passed around to various relatives and not knowing where or who I was going to live with from year to year. At times I had to steel food. When I finally got into a college I almost didn't go because my sister wouldn't have had anyone to take care of her.

I didn't grow up well-off

I can tell you about being abused as a kid too. But I don't have the spoons for it right now

I've bought lottery tickets maybe ten or fifteen times in my life. I won £10 once.

before you transitioned, you always talked about how you grew up friends with people who are now celebrities and lived in great neighborhoods etc. but now you're retroactively poor and even had to STEAL food.


UH HUH, OKAY!

I never said i grew up in a "great neighborhood". I grew up in shit neighborhoods.
In high school i lived literally next to a junk yard, and just down the road from a meat packing plant. It was awful. I went to several public schools as a kid in different blue collar and poor neighborhoods. And I went to a rural high school that graduated only 89 kids in my senior class. It was a hell hole.

i've mentioned maybe two "celebrities", and I grew up with neither of them. One was simply in the local punk scene that i hung out in (outside of my shitty high school), and the other was the best friend of one of my friends.



You make up shit, and read what you want into other peoples' posts.

My work do a lottery syndicate so I pay into that, £2.50 per week on the Euromillions. Our number picks are up on a board so we can all see them and check them ourselves to make sure the organiser isn't just pocketing our cash. Winnings are split whenever they get to a decent amount, basically when we can be arsed to do it.

I have a story about an uncle that kept track of the lottery numbers for 10 years, by writing them in a note pad every week. He changed the numbers he played to reflect the numbers most often chosen, thinking that if the number 8 had come up more than any other number, then number 8 would be more likely to come up again.

I tried to explain to him how probability works, but he told me that it sounded "made up". The good think i guess is that no matter what numbers he played each week, the probability was the same, so at least he wasn't sabotaging himself.

But for years he would go on and on about his "system" and how easy it was. I think he was so convinced because early on he won 10k by matching a few of the numbers, and after that nothing would change his mind. To him it was just a matter of time before he won it all.

But he never did. And now he's dead
