How addicting lotteries/games are.

So, McDonalds is holding this Monopoly thing where everything you buy comes with some game pieces. If you collect the right set of pieces, you win a prize. Now, me and my mom normally stay as far away from McDonalds as physically possible. But, a few days ago, she bought some stuff there (forgot why). We got really lucky--we got two of three required pieces to win $50,000. In one purchase. We just need 1 more and we'll win. Now, the chance of us winning is slim. But we keep buyig shit there (mostly fries, as their fries are actually quite delicious) in the hopes we'll win. I don't know if we're throwing money down a hole or if this could really happen. I wonder what I'd do if I won $50,000.... (What would you do?) /rambling pessimism

    Ah, such a seductive trick. You see, each colour has one property that is much rarer than the others.

    Yeah, it's trivially easy to get two of three, but extremely difficult to get that last one. That's how they reel you in.

    That said, go for a government-run lottery instead. Pretty much the same odds, but you'll be paying for useful stuff like people's school (my college is mostly funded by the Georgia lottery).

    ^They're also the item that McDonalds makes the most profit on. That's why they give you the most for them.

    They're called taxes on the gullible and poor for a reason... >_>

    Eh, I might as well be optimistic.

    I am normally optimistic anyway. Being negative doesn't get you anywhere.

    Well, at least with McDonald's you're getting food out of it.

    ^ I wouldn't call anything from McDonalds "food".

    If we do win, maybe I'll mail like, 200-400 bucks each to the first five people to PM me after I announce it.

    It's not good or good for you

    but it sits in your belly for awhile.

    ^If you do win, don't forget how your buddy Malkavian has always been good to you. =P
