If I were Filthy Rich

+27 Why do you play the lottery?

Just wondering what are y’all reasons for the playing the lottery. Is it just for fun or a more serious reason?

+64 @gvillager Buying the dream of not having to work anymore. It can't be serious, and this can't be your retirement plan. It would just speed things up if I were to actually win.

+46 @keenedge422 $2 is pretty cheap for an excuse to browse big houses on Zillow, custom configure supercars on their websites, and dream of a world where you don't have to work or kiss anyone's ass because you have "fuck you" money.

+27 @linx14 I don’t play regularly just when jackpots are high or feeling like a scratch ticket. But I just really play for that small boost of serotonin. Helps get through life right now. When the powerball was high for that 3 months I had hope and felt things were gonna be okay. Now it’s just like Jesus Christ I hope I can make it through.

+20 @nunyabizlol You can't win if you don't play.

+18 @D_Winds I can be at the end of my life with 6 figures of income in my hand, saved from decades of not playing the lottery, and I would not be happy. I can dream for decades of my life having 7 figures. This makes me happy.

+17 @psionicdecimator The chance to never having to work a day in my life again, and focus non stop on my passions and hobbies. I could do that now, which I'm working towards. Being a lottery winner could massively accelerate it. Plus there's a lot of charities I'd support. I like looking after the little people who the government don't give a shit about in my country

+16 @Shogun3335 To daydream about quitting my job

+12 @GhotyoLocanisyn4ever If you do the math on how much you will spend over the years, it doesnt rly sound like much coz if you dont play the lottery youll subconsciously spend that money on other stuff. So when youre hella old, its not as if youre going to have that money sitting in ur bank account whilst you think to yourself “i have this money becoz i didnt responsibly gamble.”

+11 @HeverAfter I don't drink or smoke so consider a small gamble my vice. I don't spend anything like my mates do on drinking and smoking so I feel okay about that. Also I want to build my own home and hope this will be a way of doing it. Nice to have a dream
