    I bought a lottery ticket.

    Now I remember why I don't buy lottery tickets - I've spent the last 20 minutes day-dreaming about all the Good Things I'd do with the money if I won it all, worthy fuck that I am.

    Such a stupid waste of time.

    I also think the prizes on these are beyond ridiculous - like, sure, life-changing, but for most people I believe - life destroying. Dumping £175m into most people's lives is simply going to fuck all their relationships up, even if they do try to sort out everyone in their social circles and community.

    • ..and I should know not to trust those feelings, because every time I've acted on them in the opast, nothing's come of it.
      People are stupid.

    • i wouldn't mind a couple milliondasohr
    • Aye, that's what I think.
      This lottery should have, say, 35 prizes of £5m apiece instead.

    • If they make it less than 175M, people who make 170M salary won't buy tickets! It's called Capitalism, look it up.

    • What you're really buying with that ticket is the dream of getting the £175m. Enjoy it!palimpsest
    • So I paid for 8 hours of despair?

      31p per hour. That's not bad, even by my standards.
