    The current jackpot is 87 million. A ticket costs $1 and the odds of winning are 1 in 292,000,000, but according to alt right math thats rounded up to 1 in 10, meaning that for $1 I can buy a powerball ticket with a present value of $8.7 million.

    Am I missing something guise? Seems like a good deal tbh.

    I buy when Powerball ($2 ticket) goes above $400 million. I used to think that if God meant for me to win the lottery, I'd find one on the ground somewhere. Now I think that God helps those who help themselves :-)

    “god helps those who help themselves” is one of the most flagrant confirmation biases I’ve ever seen related to religion.

    What percentage of the time are conservatives being serious, and what percentage of the time are they intentionally saying dumb to trigger the libs? No rounding on the percentages, I can’t tell if the conservative view of how rounding works is serious or just trigger material.

    Im thinking its more paraphrasing God saying fairly ridiculous stuff to make the "paraphraser" feel they are ok in his eyes.

    But always sinners. Never, forget that.

    Basically any time they're caught saying something stupid they fall back on jestrollingutriggered.

    Those questions have not been studied but the answer is equal to or greater than 1 for sure.

    I love this re ed line of thinking too.

    ”$250 million jackpot? Pffffftttttt not even worth it, I’ll wait till it’s $400 million.”
    Pots over 400 million are far and few between. I'd be spending a lot more on lottery tickets if I bought at 250.

    You guys are so critical - it must be tough being your significant others.

    half serious:

    Yes. One ticket. positive fraction still larger than zero.

    I will occasionally buy a ticket for fun on that basis. I put it it the entertainment budget.

    If you’re even being one quarter serious about the “any fraction is greater than zero thus rounded up” stupidity, you should research the viability of suicide.
