How many hours did you have to slave away at the factory to earn the $30 to buy that ticket that will doubtless not be a winner? Think about that the next time you want to blow money away.

So after that one win are you behind or ahead at this moment on the lottery?

For all the talk about how poor people were voting against their own interests by voting Trump, I'd just like to point out that the Tennessee lottery is doing a hell of a lot more damage to Bert financially than anything Trump's done.

Thanks.

he's exaggerating how long he worked to buy a single lottery ticket. It's illegal to pay an employee less than $7.25 an hour in the United States.

Most states have a higher minimum, but not bert's.

only if you're talking gross pay, if you're talking take home pay then he had to work more like 7 or 8 hours at 7.25 to afford a 30 dollar lotto ticket. can't forget about taxes.

so if anything he's underestimating the amount of effort he threw in the trash.

But you could also win up to $100,000 with thirty chances to win.
