My thoughts exactly. If I win the lottery from a ticket I bought with a found $5, that’s a fun story.

If I won the lottery from a street wizard ticket? Legendary.

If you win, everyone that knows about it will track you down and try to get something. The trick is to not let anyone know.

I guess it shouldn’t be surprising to me that almost everyone here is picking the lotto ticket with how popular gambling is. I’m just disappointed in y’all.

I’m sure everyone’s first actual thought was to take the $5 because it’s the practical and “adult” thing to do, but then they were reminded of how dull and boring their choices have become and decided to have a little fun on the internet

That sounds hella sus… I’m not sure I’d take either, fearing some scam? At worst I lose out on $5 or whatever, while at best I avoid whatever would have happened had I accepted.

Yeah, life makes you jaded doesn’t it? :-P
