BC Resident Wins $50 Million Lotto Max Jackpot

You don't know it was a BC resident, only that the ticket was purchased in Langely. Anyways I won bupkiss as usual on this stupid mans tax of impossible odds. Even if you get three numbers you win essentially nothing. Hands down the biggest rip off in the lotto scam world.

Statistically, you're more likely to start a billion dollar business than win the lottery.

A tax indeed.

Since someone wins the jackpot every few weeks that would mean more than 1 billion dollar business is started in Canada every few weeks on average. I find that unlikely.

Anyone else thinks lottery is stupid?

Lotteries are a mildly fun form of entertainment. Know your limit. Play within it.

Actually your logic is wrong. I have no idea how the lottery takes a cut but assuming the jackpot goes up 20 million each draw that means about 4-5 million tickets are bought each week. Your assuming that 4-5 million people start a business each week. If that happened in Canada, you can bet at least 5-10 of those would be billionaires each week. My guess is only a few thousand start a business each week in Canada so it would take much longer.

Anyways, dang it...I already checked and lost :(

The number of tickets sold and the number of people who start a business each week was irrelevant to the original statement but whatever.
