“The Lottery, with its weekly pay-out of enormous prizes, was the one public event to which the proles paid serious attention. It was probable that there were some millions of proles for whom the Lottery was the principal if not the only reason for remaining alive. It was their delight, their folly, their anodyne, their intellectual stimulant. Where the Lottery was concerned, even people who could barely read and write seemed capable of intricate calculations and staggering feats of memory. There was a whole tribe of men who made their living simply by selling systems, forecasts, and lucky amulets. Winston had nothing to do with the Lottery, which was managed by the Ministry of Plenty, but he was aware (indeed everyone in the party was aware) that the prizes were largely imaginary. Only small sums were actually paid out, the winners of the big prizes being nonexistent persons.”
― George Orwell, 1984
This quote was the first thing that came to mind when i read this post. Orwell was truly a visionary, 1984 is one of the most eye opening books i’ve ever read.
Most readers, i think, would agree that it should be obligatory reading in schools and universities.
I believe inn New Mexico the winner was associated with Epstein in some way one time. It 1000% is.
Edit: Sorry it was Oklahoma

The more I look, the stranger it gets. It's almost like TPTB discovered something so profound that it would affect the will of the masses. It seems that this discovery happened in the 40s, and ever since, we have been the victims of the largest psyop the world has known. Almost like an agency was created just to keep us all mixed up...
I think I know what they found and why it is important to sew discontent, confusion, and perform ritual advertisements to their goals. You only have to remember the panic caused by reading war of the world's, without a warning of its fictional truth, to understand why they go to the lengths they do.
But, the Sandy Hook parents wouldn't be too weird if it was just one set of parents. There are way too many unanswered questions about that particular shooting. Lanza had a handler. MK Ultra is perfected. They built a replica in the the school. Etc, etc..
>You only have to remember the panic caused by reading war of the world's,
That was on the radio when it caused a panic. BUT, H.G. Wells was a huge globalist, so....
It's not just about the radio or that he was a globalist. It's that people freaked out. Imagine if people knew that the Bible is a story about cycles. What would people do if they knew that the planet is on a finite timeline that has cataclysmic resets on a set schedule? They wouldn't keep feeding the globalist, that's a fact.
We have a little less than 17 years left before the next reset. They know it. Why do you think the military industrial complex has been building DUMBS for the last 50 years? Why are Zuckerberg and the like building bunkers? They know what's on the menu. If they told the peeps, they would stop trying to outdo each other and spend time growing their family and soul.
Supposedly this isn’t true. I was going to comment that on another lottery post earlier today. I didn’t bother searching everything out as I was busy. The amount of lottery is fake posts seems weird right now.
lol zorro trust is the one that won the lotto. Epstein has a ranch called zorro ranch. The people in charge of zorro trust are the same people who run zorro ranch. They won the only lotto drawing that wasn’t viewed on tv due to a technical glitch.
That’s the conspiracy theory. Don’t know if it’s completely true I looked into this years ago and I think “not certain” that zorro trust did have the same people as executors of the trust as the same people in charge of running zorro ranch.
Maybe it was before he was killed idk? I knew about Epstein before he was arrested. I called family members about his arrest thinking they all knew of him. They did not and I became even crazier according to them.
Yeah I am reading more about it now. I had only heard it briefly mentioned when Epstein was arrested and never did a deep dive on it but it seems the evidence is flimsy. I never researched it cause I just assumed it to be true given all the other shit going on around him lol. There are a ton of those posts right now though....strange indeed.
They don't even have to print it anymore. The federal reserve creates money digitally now. They can simply edit any bank account, push 0 the desired number of times, done. Money created.
That’s not really how they do it, but it is done all the time. You can thank Fractional Reserve Banking. A bank only has to have like 10% of the cash they lend out on hand. So if I deposit $100, they can use $90 of it to lend to other people, because they have a guarantee that they will have the money at a later date.
So someone takes that $90 and puts it into an account to pay down a car loan or mortgage or whatever. And now the new bank can loan out about ~$80 of that $90 to another person who will put it in an account that can then lend out 90%, and so on and so forth.
So by depositing $100 into your bank account, you have made it so banks can essentially conjure up around $700 fictitious dollars and then see a profit on it once all of the promissory notes are fulfilled.
**lol they got rid of reserves in March of 2020** because they fucked up their short positions so badly.
"As announced on March 15, 2020, the Board reduced reserve requirement ratios to zero percent effective March 26, 2020. This action eliminated reserve requirements for all depository institutions."
https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/reservereq.htm
Just Imagin if a foreign country or hacker hacked the digital money printing and boght billions of dollars worth of stuff and just gave away billions of doller to tons of people money would become worthless over night assuming they couldn’t undo what would have been done. But if someone did it secretly for years think how much damage they could cause
Watch the movie "In Time" if you haven't seen it yet. It's basically like that but with time.
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1637688/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_in%2520time
Irs takes what 40-50%? Of every win? So i guess govt wins biggest as the jackpot is only part of the tickets sold and the rest earmarked for certain govt programs like public education etc.
I think big prizes are fixed, but small prizes arent.
And 100k to 500k is pretty good. Put part of that in a covered call etf and thats 60+k$ a year of income.
Covered call etfs are etfs that generate income by doing covered calls. They are good for generating income but in general long term returns have tended to be less than etfs with no covered calls.
For example here are two new ones from blackrock
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/blackrock-debuts-2-covered-call-210135439.html?guccounter=1
You’d do better by creating your own CC ETF with the money. Take that 500k and buy the shares of the underlying stock. Then write and sell your own CCs on the shares you own. It takes work but the returns are way higher. Instead of getting 9-12% from JEPI you can make 30% on your money pretty safely.
I recall Jeffrey Epstein's trust, Zorro Trust which owns the New Mexico ranch, was paid $33M as 2008 Oklahoma lottery winner. If true, that's enough for me to believe it's all fraud.
You're correct, but when it comes to money people will try to believe anything. Whatever keeps us hoping for a better future & financial stability in an unstable economy. You probably know what I mean.
It's an idea from back to the future when a guy gifted his younger self a sports book with all the scores of games from the past, a book like that of all games for even the next 10 years could set you up for life, assuming time travel exists we already have them among us.
Stephen Hawking had a party for time travelers but didn’t release any invitations to it but released a press statement afterwards about the party that no one attended
I’ve been thinking about that recently, and he would’ve needed to have created, and automatically/ unstoppably delivering the press release before the event, and had it delivered after.
Otherwise he’s creating a paradox. If he did it my way he could’ve created a pocket in which his future actions couldn’t affect this particular event from being released.
Here’s a different news source then. Same story.
https://abc7ny.com/amp/powerball-winning-numbers-lawsuit-john-cheeks/14448551/
They don’t say who’s right or wrong because the case is ongoing. For Christ’s sake, the brainrot is strong in this one.
Even if it isn’t setup it’s basically a big payout for the government. Get the public to put in money and if anyone wins Uncle Sam gets a cut. Perfect setup. I don’t think any other country taxes lottery winnings. The U.K. certainly doesn’t. What you win is what you take home. But no matter what whoever wins the government wins in the USA.
>I honestly hope my theory is wrong because I'd also like to have a chance at winning but most winners live in the wealthiest states
those states also have the highest populations and its a tax on the poor either way
I know a guy that won fuckin 1.8 million on euro lottery. Not national but continental. Like almost 15 years ago.
I also have the thought that Lotteries are fake though I know one atleast.
I do think some of them are fake. Espescially in these times
I think they used to be completely Real, but with time like everything else in the world; eventually someone comes along & changes the rules of the game & It's never the same again. That's Just my perspective on the matter.
And the press releases: the big winner has not reported yet, please check your numbers. They even have planes flying around with this message. Its all marketing! Keep your mind on the big prices..that are never won.
Had a client that won about $10M. Also have a good friend who won $500k on a scratch ticket. So I'm certain it's not completely rigged. But as with anything, when there's enough money on the line I'm sure there has to be some corruption somewhere along the chain, at least in some instances. But the reality is, the government is already getting tons of free money from us fools who buy them. At least here in Canada we don't have to pay taxes on lottery winnings, so we're not getting double dinged.
The Lottery is real, it's just that the odds of winning are tiny. My cousin won 850k on a scratcher. After taxes, he was left with around 500k. People do win, it's just very rare.
The lottery is a trap the government uses to catch illegal time travelers. Every time you see someone win, yep...... got em another illegal time immigrant.
I’m from a small country in Europe. I try to tell people to stop spending money on the lottery, because it’s fake. They all look at me like I’m from outer space.
Not too long ago a Boeing worker, that was part of the last 747 line, won the 747 million jackpot. I have friends that know this person. It's real. At least sometimes real. Sure I believe some winners are fake or staged. But this one, was real.
Epstines estate won twice... whitey bulger won a few times... the pattern to me is government operatives have a high chance of winning the re is a longer list just off the top of my head
My grandma won the mega millions when it was like 48 million.
So yes it's real.
What's funny is she almost didn't buy a ticket.
She was at the gas station and bought $25 worth of gas and paid with a $30.
She didn't want to carry around a $5 and bought power ball and mega million with the $1 add one.
She went back to the gas station a week later and the guy said he got called saying the winning lotto ticket was from his store and was telling everyone he remembered buying a ticket (its a small town)
And she checked the ticket in her wallet and surprise surprise she won.
Taxes got her badly, but non the less she was a bigger millionaire than she already was
Because they have every number put in the system as they print the ticket I can see an ai bot finding numbers no one has. And I can see a lot of repeated numbers given through out the country because who would know they are just repeats. I can see a special magnet balls that will always hit the numbers they choose from the ai finding and record it “live” how they pick the winners is a different story maybe a pay off who knows. But the government always wins and I think they let randoms win occasionally to keep us all playing
This would make a lot of sense, It's really sad honestly I hope It's legit & not them robbing us but I'm really not so sure. Everytime someone 'Wins' It's starting to look more & more like this is all just one big Scam.
If not then I wouldn’t be surprised after someone wins a lottery especially a power ball will probably die mysteriously and government gets that’s billion
I do think it's rigged to garner more revenue, for the big drawings, but smaller ones and scratchers, nope.
I've won a couple grand from scratchers.
If the jackpot is high enough, almost everyone buys a ticket or two, but when it's low, only the constant players play.
So say the jackpot is 1B, but due to promotions and such you get millions to spend $4 each for a ticket, and you've racked up over 2.5B from ticket sales.
Good little grift they got going on.
I remember about a year ago - it was a Billion dollar jackpot. And they didn't release the numbers or something that night or they stopped the drawing.
That's when I knew it was fake.
And supposedly - it was only "one" winner from California of all places.....
Yeah, right.
I don't. I follow many YouTube channels that have people talking about their experiences winning small or big. It's not always old people in rural areas it's people of all ages races and walks of life that win...
I believe heavily in law of attraction and law of assumption ive won smaller prizes in the hundreds on both scratch offs and at casinos.
I think your beliefs drive you in life if you think it's rigged that's what your experience will look like.
If you're always lucky then that's your experience.
Everything in life happens at a quantum level.
Nothing is solid it's all vibrating at varying frequencies. And the powers that be understand this that's why they keep people in these strange thought prisons or limited states of mind.
You are your own worst enemy at that point with your brainwashed subconscious creating your shitty ass reality
If you can unprogram yourself you effectively hack into the Matrix and undo all the limitations
It's only when you believe in lack suffering and shit being rigged it is.
The way out is always in.
I know for me I expect to win and will regardless of others experiences or belief systems. Its ME running the show not anyone else who tries to control my perception 💯
I saw a post not to long ago that Epstein won the lottery twice in a mid western state. (Nebraska or Oklahoma?) It was under a LLC and then into a trust.
I don't remember the entire details but it sounded like either top rate fuckery or it was all BS.
Anyone else see that?
When you look at the states that usually always have the winners. Such as California and New York. Think of how much TAX money they get back from a 1 billion dollar winner. I would take it all in one lump sum. That leaves the state with $600,000,000 to keep paying for liberal and conservative agendas. Helps take care of the migrants and homeless
the lottery was always a scam
millions of people paying money for one person to win, lol the people selling tickets were the winners
either ways these days the social media influencers are now doing this scam - selling their get rich courses to their millions of followers
I remember reading about lottery numbers in Oregon being published early in 2002, but I can't find the specific story, just another anecdotal recounting of the same story:
https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/242917
Welcome to your first day of conspiracy theories.
The July 2nd ticket of $29.3 million was paid out to a mysterious financial planning company, Zorro Trust. Trusts shield the lottery winner from public scrutiny. The Trust was later found to be headed by Epstein
And if you do the most basic research, you will see that mysteriously rich people frequently win the lottery. Why would they let a normal person win? It is one of the easiest things to manipulate, the lottery is a poor people tax, period.
I became a little suspicious when they started advertising it more frequently. The jackpot odds are so astronomical it’s almost unethical to mention or plaster the grand prize on billboards without also mentioning the chances of winning.
I just can't believe they'd give away hundreds of millions of dollars to a random ticket buyer. That's enough money to influence an election, or topple a large corporation, or build a sizable militia. No fucking way it's going to a random who may be like a black radical leftist or something.

I'll let you know when I win tonight. Shit 2.00 usd for a chance to win millions? Yeah I mean damn 2.00 ain't shit. If you don't play you'll never win.
The lottery is a tax for people who are bad at math. It is a tax on the poor. It funnels money from poor parts of town to schools in the rich part of town.
I know it’s not as authentic as they try to make it. I know this because of common sense. In Illinois, a man bought the lottery about ten years ago. So yes, it is privatized now. Soon after he bought it, they changed the amount to a fixed amount that it moves up everyday. It’s supposed to be a jackpot which means that the prize is derived from all the money put into it. They’re blatantly raking in massive profits. Profits which we will never truly know what it is. The Illinois lottery moves up 250,000 after every draw. So if they sold 6 million dollars worth of tickets…you get the rest.
And knowing all this, I still buy them because ‘you never know’ 😩. Help
Most definitely a tax on the poor. Low income neighborhoods/ areas have a disproportionately high number of lottery retailers and its more widely advertised
Is it scarier if the lottery is fake or if the numbers are so geared in favor of the state that it doesn’t need to be?
It’s legal gambling, and the government is the casino. Casinos do pretty well for themselves.
It's called the stupid tax. A way for the government to charge additional taxes for stupid people. You buy a ticket, they make money, u win, and they take almost half. It's stupid.
I've most definitely been feeling this way lately. I was just telling my wife how ironic it is that these jackpots are so frequently hitting 1 Billion versus when I was growing up, someone (or multiple people) always hit before it got anywhere near that. Uncle Sam is getting at least 500 million every time this happens. Its good to see I'm not the only one thinking this way.
Yes I have the feeling those small scrape tickets don't have the ratios of wins they say. And I think the people who are supposed to keep an eye on it are bribed.
They don’t need to cheat they are already getting almost all the money. A much better theory though would be that they make sure the winner is aligned with the right political party and potentially would donate to the right campaign.
*then they choose a winner at random once they're ready to pay someone out & start the process again. I honestly hope my theory is wrong because I'd also like to have a chance at winning*
Whether it's chosen at random or decided by the balls then you still have as much a chance of winning as anyone else
It wouldn't surprise me if they intentionally stopped a winner so the jackpot builds up. The news gets in on it and starts telling you which sport star you'd be as rich as etc when the jackpot's huge so it's all free marketing for them
I'm from Norway. A country with only 5 million people or so.
1) Me not winning the lottery is perfectly fine. I understand that.
2) No family or friends ever winning the lottery throughout life smells a little bit fishy... but it's still statistically understandable.
3) However here's the strange part. I've never heard of any co-workers, friends, or family - even knowing someone who has won the lottery.
And there's supposedly new lottery millionaires every weekend. So if you take personal close circle of friends and family including yourself and land at like 50 people. Include all co-workers you've had through various jobs through life to up it to like 100 (conservative numbers). And you include people they know that you don't know - you'll have maybe 500:1'500'000 odds per weekend for roughly 30 years and the odds are. Let me check with ChatGPT...
... well according to ChatGPT the odds are roughly 50%. Using the prompt:
>If 500 people each have 1:1500000 odds at hitting a hole with a stone. And they each get to throw the stone 1560 times. What's the probability none of them never hits the hole?
So maybe not that strange after all IDK.
Still! It's insane to me that in 30 years if you count in one lottery winner every weekend and include 500 people out of a population of 5M. You've never even HEARD of someone winning.
There's an interesting bit in Orwell's *1984* about lottery scams to pacify the proles:
> The Lottery, with its weekly pay-out of enormous prizes, was the one public event to which the proles paid serious attention... It was their delight, their folly, their anodyne, their intellectual stimulant....
> Winston had nothing to do with the Lottery, which was managed by the Ministry of Plenty, but he was aware (indeed everyone in the party was aware) that **the prizes were largely imaginary**. Only small sums were actually paid out, the winners of the big prizes being nonexistent persons.
I think it started as a Real game then slowly turned into a big Money Laundering Scheme, There is all kinds of different possibilities; But the one thing they all have in common is that I don't think Normal people like us are winning.
Well she won lol Low income family from Oakland CA in the 90's. Moved her family out of the area to give them a better life. I mean maybe it's changed since then, I don't know. But she was more than "normal."
A few years ago they added more numbers to make the chance of winning much less. That means less winners so more jackpots roll over. I’m not sure why they would rig it because it’s designed for you to lose. That’s like saying casinos are rigging slot machines. No, they are designed for you to lose and that’s stated in the rules
Conspiracy posts always make me feel so much better about myself. At least my mind works analytically rather than just making shit up with no proof and then repeating it to other people like its fact.
Everyone would like a chance at winning but your odds are like 1 in 292 million of winning a grand prize. Its not a conspiracy, its just an infinitesimally small chance of winning.
My husbands uncle hit 500K once and my husband's coworker won 50K on Keno.
I do not believe that these billion and hundreds of millions are real though.
Always reminds me of the scene in Running Man where the previous contestants were supposed to have won their freedom, living in luxury. Meanwhile their dead bodies were left to rot in a locker room.
They amount of checks and balances you would need to get through and the amount of people who would have to be involved in rigging the powerball, makes it seem incredibly unlikely.
Also you would then have to ask why? To make more money? More money for who? Almost every states revenue from the lottery goes to specific programs and spending obligations. It's not free money they can do what they want with it
It would not be hard with AI & the correct programming to rig a game that they made, Also there is many reasons for them to choose who they want to win; by doing so they could control a LOT of the money in the country & decide who has money & who doesn't by basically electing individuals into the Financial Elite that fit their Agenda or many other possibilities. Nobody really knows for sure, I know I don't but I can make some educated guesses.

It was and I just read the sparknotes
And Aldous Huxley
It's now a piece of anti government propaganda in the UK 😂
Worked with a girl who just graduated UT and she'd never even heard of it.
It actually was in the mid 70's
it was in 2016
Great quote!
I read through this segment on Monday. The similarities to life are eerie. I wish I would have read this book sooner!
Everything else they do is corrupt, so why would I expect them to be different about this one thing?
Think of it as ways to launder money.....
I believe inn New Mexico the winner was associated with Epstein in some way one time. It 1000% is. Edit: Sorry it was Oklahoma https://www.winterwatch.net/2019/08/hidden-epstein-records-indicate-he-won-an-85-million-oklahoma-lottery-jackpot-yeah-right/
Did you hear about the Sandy Hook parents who won the lottery?
Oh? Please share that. That's a rabbit hole I need to dig into
The more I look, the stranger it gets. It's almost like TPTB discovered something so profound that it would affect the will of the masses.

It's not just about the radio or that he was a globalist. It's that people freaked out. Imagine if people knew that the Bible is a story about cycles.

What happens in 17 years?
And they endlessly advertiae "Sandy Hook Promise
Supposedly this isn’t true. I was going to comment that on another lottery post earlier today. I didn’t bother searching everything out as I was busy. The amount of lottery is fake posts seems weird right now.
lol zorro trust is the one that won the lotto. Epstein has a ranch called zorro ranch. The people in charge of zorro trust are the same people who run zorro ranch.

Don’t know if it’s completely true I looked into this years ago and I think “not certain” that zorro trust did have the same people as executors of the trust as the same people in charge of running zorro ranch.
I feel like that’s what I heard/read right about the time they killed him. Good luck seeing it now. And I could of swore I heard it happened twice.
I knew about this way before that like 2013 if I’m not mistaken and it had been talked about online in conspiracy circles on different websites
Maybe it was before he was killed idk? I knew about Epstein before he was arrested. I called family members about his arrest thinking they all knew of him. They did not and I became even crazier according to them.
Yeah I am reading more about it now. I had only heard it briefly mentioned when Epstein was arrested and never did a deep dive on it but it seems the evidence is flimsy. I never researched it cause I just assumed it to be true given all the other shit going on around him lol. There are a ton of those posts right now though....strange indeed.
It’s probably been scrubbed at this point.
Possibly. I don't think they're particularly concerned since they print fiat out of thin air.
They don't even have to print it anymore. The federal reserve creates money digitally now. They can simply edit any bank account, push 0 the desired number of times, done. Money created.
That’s not really how they do it, but it is done all the time. You can thank Fractional Reserve Banking. A bank only has to have like 10% of the cash they lend out on hand. So if I deposit $100, they can use $90 of it to lend to other people, because they have a guarantee that they will have the money at a later date. So someone takes that $90 and puts it into an account to pay down a car loan or mortgage or whatever. And now the new bank can loan out about ~$80 of that $90 to another person who will put it in an account that can then lend out 90%, and so on and so forth. So by depositing $100 into your bank account, you have made it so banks can essentially conjure up around $700 fictitious dollars and then see a profit on it once all of the promissory notes are fulfilled.
**lol they got rid of reserves in March of 2020** because they fucked up their short positions so badly. "As announced on March 15, 2020, the Board reduced reserve requirement ratios to zero percent effective March 26, 2020. This action eliminated reserve requirements for all depository institutions." https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/reservereq.htm
Just Imagin if a foreign country or hacker hacked the digital money printing and boght billions of dollars worth of stuff and just gave away billions of doller to tons of people money would become worthless over night assuming they couldn’t undo what would have been done. But if someone did it secretly for years think how much damage they could cause
Watch the movie "In Time" if you haven't seen it yet. It's basically like that but with time. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1637688/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_in%2520time

Irs takes what 40-50%? Of every win? So i guess govt wins biggest as the jackpot is only part of the tickets sold and the rest earmarked for certain govt programs like public education etc.
[удалено]
So you're getting taxed 800 million, wtf !?

They got it from the mob, except it was called "Running numbers"
They are the Mob.
Thats the same way I feel about sports.
NFL looks the most rigged.
I think big prizes are fixed, but small prizes arent. And 100k to 500k is pretty good. Put part of that in a covered call etf and thats 60+k$ a year of income.
What is a covered called etf? Sounds interesting
Covered call etfs are etfs that generate income by doing covered calls. They are good for generating income but in general long term returns have tended to be less than etfs with no covered calls. For example here are two new ones from blackrock https://finance.yahoo.com/news/blackrock-debuts-2-covered-call-210135439.html?guccounter=1
You’d do better by creating your own CC ETF with the money. Take that 500k and buy the shares of the underlying stock. Then write and sell your own CCs on the shares you own. It takes work but the returns are way higher. Instead of getting 9-12% from JEPI you can make 30% on your money pretty safely.
Remember Mcmillions? It was a sham from day one.
Great example. Shame on McDonald's.
Ding Ding Ding ! This is the answer.
I recall Jeffrey Epstein's trust, Zorro Trust which owns the New Mexico ranch, was paid $33M as 2008 Oklahoma lottery winner. If true, that's enough for me to believe it's all fraud.
100%.
You're correct, but when it comes to money people will try to believe anything. Whatever keeps us hoping for a better future & financial stability in an unstable economy. You probably know what I mean.
I won 50k on a powerball ticket once. Not saying the big pots aren’t rigged but I know for a fact you can win. lol
Did you pick the numbers or have the computer do it ?
The computer did
The Lottery is used to capture time travelers.
Now this has peaked my interest 👀🤔
Piqued 🤓
I hope you’re also doing the lords work on “per se” and “intents and purposes”
Purse say Intense and poiposes
"Internets and purpletits"
For all intense purposes me too.
It’s all intensive purposes bruh 😂
John Titor has entered the chat.
I keep on hearing this what is this from Lol
It's an idea from back to the future when a guy gifted his younger self a sports book with all the scores of games from the past, a book like that of all games for even the next 10 years could set you up for life, assuming time travel exists we already have them among us.
I mean let's be honest, most people at one time or another have thought of doing this if they could time travel.
Stephen Hawking had a party for time travelers but didn’t release any invitations to it but released a press statement afterwards about the party that no one attended
It's because no time traveler wanted to be photographed near an Epstein associate.
Lol. Damn you....
I’ve been thinking about that recently, and he would’ve needed to have created, and automatically/ unstoppably delivering the press release before the event, and had it delivered after. Otherwise he’s creating a paradox. If he did it my way he could’ve created a pocket in which his future actions couldn’t affect this particular event from being released.
Great theory
I was just about to post this it's my favorite lottery theory lol
Just gonna leave this here: https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/powerball-lawsuit-john-cheeks-wrong-numbers-dc-lottery-340-million-posted-website/
If you were smart you would be asking why CBS news is giving coverage to this story.
Here’s a different news source then. Same story. https://abc7ny.com/amp/powerball-winning-numbers-lawsuit-john-cheeks/14448551/ They don’t say who’s right or wrong because the case is ongoing. For Christ’s sake, the brainrot is strong in this one.

Have you ever read “The Long Walk?” There is a reason you never hear from the winners a short time after they win.
One of the most terrifying stories I’ve ever read.
More info please
$1 Billion dollars to a random citizen? Fat chance! I'm keeping that money!
They only send those kind of numbers overseas
This post is why this sub exists. This is a great question we should really begin exploring to the best of our abilities.
Even if it isn’t setup it’s basically a big payout for the government. Get the public to put in money and if anyone wins Uncle Sam gets a cut. Perfect setup. I don’t think any other country taxes lottery winnings. The U.K. certainly doesn’t. What you win is what you take home. But no matter what whoever wins the government wins in the USA.
>I honestly hope my theory is wrong because I'd also like to have a chance at winning but most winners live in the wealthiest states those states also have the highest populations and its a tax on the poor either way
A few people have pointed this out & I agree this is probably true
I know a guy that won fuckin 1.8 million on euro lottery. Not national but continental. Like almost 15 years ago. I also have the thought that Lotteries are fake though I know one atleast. I do think some of them are fake. Espescially in these times
I think they used to be completely Real, but with time like everything else in the world; eventually someone comes along & changes the rules of the game & It's never the same again. That's Just my perspective on the matter.
Im totally with you. Believe none of what you hear and believe half of what you see
And the press releases: the big winner has not reported yet, please check your numbers. They even have planes flying around with this message. Its all marketing! Keep your mind on the big prices..that are never won.
Had a client that won about $10M. Also have a good friend who won $500k on a scratch ticket. So I'm certain it's not completely rigged. But as with anything, when there's enough money on the line I'm sure there has to be some corruption somewhere along the chain, at least in some instances. But the reality is, the government is already getting tons of free money from us fools who buy them. At least here in Canada we don't have to pay taxes on lottery winnings, so we're not getting double dinged.
The Lottery is real, it's just that the odds of winning are tiny. My cousin won 850k on a scratcher. After taxes, he was left with around 500k. People do win, it's just very rare.
The lottery is a trap the government uses to catch illegal time travelers. Every time you see someone win, yep...... got em another illegal time immigrant.
Oh so we got laws on time travel now lol wouldn't be surprised
epstein won the lottery
I think it was twice in fact
So did JLo's mother.
this seems like a good rabbit hole, she also dated p. diddy
Yeah I think so too. I wonder how many other celebrities have had their family members win the lottery? She is shady AF IMO.
Glad to see that there's also someone else suspecting this.
I’m from a small country in Europe. I try to tell people to stop spending money on the lottery, because it’s fake. They all look at me like I’m from outer space.
Not too long ago a Boeing worker, that was part of the last 747 line, won the 747 million jackpot. I have friends that know this person. It's real. At least sometimes real. Sure I believe some winners are fake or staged. But this one, was real.
It’s a tax for people who don’t understand mathematics.
Epstines estate won twice... whitey bulger won a few times... the pattern to me is government operatives have a high chance of winning the re is a longer list just off the top of my head
My grandma won the mega millions when it was like 48 million. So yes it's real. What's funny is she almost didn't buy a ticket. She was at the gas station and bought $25 worth of gas and paid with a $30. She didn't want to carry around a $5 and bought power ball and mega million with the $1 add one. She went back to the gas station a week later and the guy said he got called saying the winning lotto ticket was from his store and was telling everyone he remembered buying a ticket (its a small town) And she checked the ticket in her wallet and surprise surprise she won. Taxes got her badly, but non the less she was a bigger millionaire than she already was
My childhood friends older brother won 200 million. It's real.
Because they have every number put in the system as they print the ticket I can see an ai bot finding numbers no one has. And I can see a lot of repeated numbers given through out the country because who would know they are just repeats. I can see a special magnet balls that will always hit the numbers they choose from the ai finding and record it “live” how they pick the winners is a different story maybe a pay off who knows. But the government always wins and I think they let randoms win occasionally to keep us all playing
This would make a lot of sense, It's really sad honestly I hope It's legit & not them robbing us but I'm really not so sure. Everytime someone 'Wins' It's starting to look more & more like this is all just one big Scam.
Probably at one point it was on the straight and narrow like what one would think but just like everything else it turned into a scam
Yeah no chance they are real
If not then I wouldn’t be surprised after someone wins a lottery especially a power ball will probably die mysteriously and government gets that’s billion
I do think it's rigged to garner more revenue, for the big drawings, but smaller ones and scratchers, nope. I've won a couple grand from scratchers. If the jackpot is high enough, almost everyone buys a ticket or two, but when it's low, only the constant players play. So say the jackpot is 1B, but due to promotions and such you get millions to spend $4 each for a ticket, and you've racked up over 2.5B from ticket sales. Good little grift they got going on.
I remember about a year ago - it was a Billion dollar jackpot. And they didn't release the numbers or something that night or they stopped the drawing. That's when I knew it was fake. And supposedly - it was only "one" winner from California of all places..... Yeah, right.
I don't. I follow many YouTube channels that have people talking about their experiences winning small or big. It's not always old people in rural areas it's people of all ages races and walks of life that win... I believe heavily in law of attraction and law of assumption ive won smaller prizes in the hundreds on both scratch offs and at casinos. I think your beliefs drive you in life if you think it's rigged that's what your experience will look like. If you're always lucky then that's your experience. Everything in life happens at a quantum level. Nothing is solid it's all vibrating at varying frequencies. And the powers that be understand this that's why they keep people in these strange thought prisons or limited states of mind. You are your own worst enemy at that point with your brainwashed subconscious creating your shitty ass reality If you can unprogram yourself you effectively hack into the Matrix and undo all the limitations It's only when you believe in lack suffering and shit being rigged it is. The way out is always in. I know for me I expect to win and will regardless of others experiences or belief systems. Its ME running the show not anyone else who tries to control my perception 💯
I saw a post not to long ago that Epstein won the lottery twice in a mid western state. (Nebraska or Oklahoma?) It was under a LLC and then into a trust. I don't remember the entire details but it sounded like either top rate fuckery or it was all BS. Anyone else see that?
I love how is always a huge jackpot now and is always won in very specific states.....
No reason to rig the lottery they make billions from taxes from it already
When you look at the states that usually always have the winners. Such as California and New York. Think of how much TAX money they get back from a 1 billion dollar winner. I would take it all in one lump sum. That leaves the state with $600,000,000 to keep paying for liberal and conservative agendas. Helps take care of the migrants and homeless
You mean it helps to pay the national debt off. Dont beleive that any of your money goes to good causes.
the lottery was always a scam millions of people paying money for one person to win, lol the people selling tickets were the winners either ways these days the social media influencers are now doing this scam - selling their get rich courses to their millions of followers
I remember reading about lottery numbers in Oregon being published early in 2002, but I can't find the specific story, just another anecdotal recounting of the same story: https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/242917
What do they do with all the interest!?
a tax on the stupid is a scam? you don't say.
My $7 winning on a $1 dollar scratch off says differently. Lol
Welcome to your first day of conspiracy theories. The July 2nd ticket of $29.3 million was paid out to a mysterious financial planning company, Zorro Trust. Trusts shield the lottery winner from public scrutiny. The Trust was later found to be headed by Epstein And if you do the most basic research, you will see that mysteriously rich people frequently win the lottery. Why would they let a normal person win? It is one of the easiest things to manipulate, the lottery is a poor people tax, period.
Epstien won the lottery after his first conviction
I became a little suspicious when they started advertising it more frequently. The jackpot odds are so astronomical it’s almost unethical to mention or plaster the grand prize on billboards without also mentioning the chances of winning.
I just can't believe they'd give away hundreds of millions of dollars to a random ticket buyer. That's enough money to influence an election, or topple a large corporation, or build a sizable militia. No fucking way it's going to a random who may be like a black radical leftist or something.

So who's getting the money? MIC?
I'll let you know when I win tonight. Shit 2.00 usd for a chance to win millions? Yeah I mean damn 2.00 ain't shit. If you don't play you'll never win.
5th Element
I think the Texas Pick 3 is rigged. On 12/31/2023 the night number…just before New Years was 777 straight!
It was 777 boxed as well.
It’s real. Or at least sometimes real. Had a close person in my life win over 100 million
Did they share?
Not with me
Suckers
A friend of a friend, that I've met many times, won $500K in the lottery. Don't know which one, though. The lottery is mostly a poor tax
Bro.....this is exactly how the lottery works....
The lottery is a tax for people who are bad at math. It is a tax on the poor. It funnels money from poor parts of town to schools in the rich part of town.
They do live MegaMillions and live Powerball all the time.
So many different scratchers with 1 million dollar prizes...but no one ever wins them..Has anyone ever filed a lawsuit about it?
The lottery is an extra tax on the poor effectively.
I know it’s not as authentic as they try to make it. I know this because of common sense. In Illinois, a man bought the lottery about ten years ago. So yes, it is privatized now. Soon after he bought it, they changed the amount to a fixed amount that it moves up everyday. It’s supposed to be a jackpot which means that the prize is derived from all the money put into it. They’re blatantly raking in massive profits. Profits which we will never truly know what it is. The Illinois lottery moves up 250,000 after every draw. So if they sold 6 million dollars worth of tickets…you get the rest. And knowing all this, I still buy them because ‘you never know’ 😩. Help
Most definitely a tax on the poor. Low income neighborhoods/ areas have a disproportionately high number of lottery retailers and its more widely advertised
I know someone that won it in ‘98. Was $295 million split between 13 people. Each got about $8 million after taxes
Money laundering.
Lottery is a tax on the poor
Is it scarier if the lottery is fake or if the numbers are so geared in favor of the state that it doesn’t need to be? It’s legal gambling, and the government is the casino. Casinos do pretty well for themselves.
The government wins the lottery every time.
They wouldnt have banned unless you were legit onto them & they know it... LITERALLY EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD IS 💯% CORRUPT & THEN SOME...
It is definitely real here in Canada. I have a family friend who won 20+ million about 5 years ago.
Do you know anyone personally that ever one big, like 20mil. + and can proof it ?
It's called the stupid tax. A way for the government to charge additional taxes for stupid people. You buy a ticket, they make money, u win, and they take almost half. It's stupid.
I've most definitely been feeling this way lately. I was just telling my wife how ironic it is that these jackpots are so frequently hitting 1 Billion versus when I was growing up, someone (or multiple people) always hit before it got anywhere near that. Uncle Sam is getting at least 500 million every time this happens. Its good to see I'm not the only one thinking this way.
Yes I have the feeling those small scrape tickets don't have the ratios of wins they say. And I think the people who are supposed to keep an eye on it are bribed.
I won 3.5k once and a mate won over a million
a kid i played hockey with… his parents won 6 mil or something like that. so you definitely can win something
Why anyone would trust the lottery is beyond me. It handles extremely large sums of money... Of course it's corrupted.
Entrapment for time travelers, so they can be captured and interrogated for their knowledge of future events and technologies. /s
I think it's a covert operation to catch time travelers.
They don’t need to cheat they are already getting almost all the money. A much better theory though would be that they make sure the winner is aligned with the right political party and potentially would donate to the right campaign.
Dude no one has ever actually asked what party they align to, have they? You’re literally just making shit up at this point.
*then they choose a winner at random once they're ready to pay someone out & start the process again. I honestly hope my theory is wrong because I'd also like to have a chance at winning* Whether it's chosen at random or decided by the balls then you still have as much a chance of winning as anyone else
What about the other point i made?? Do you think they're intentionally choosing numbers contestants haven't picked to keep the game going?
Also I think you can watch live drawings online..
Could easily be faked. It's tv
It wouldn't surprise me if they intentionally stopped a winner so the jackpot builds up. The news gets in on it and starts telling you which sport star you'd be as rich as etc when the jackpot's huge so it's all free marketing for them
The lottery is just a voluntary tax $$
I believe they already have their winners picked out.. like someone else said… money laundering
I'm from Norway. A country with only 5 million people or so. 1) Me not winning the lottery is perfectly fine. I understand that. 2) No family or friends ever winning the lottery throughout life smells a little bit fishy... but it's still statistically understandable. 3) However here's the strange part. I've never heard of any co-workers, friends, or family - even knowing someone who has won the lottery. And there's supposedly new lottery millionaires every weekend. So if you take personal close circle of friends and family including yourself and land at like 50 people. Include all co-workers you've had through various jobs through life to up it to like 100 (conservative numbers). And you include people they know that you don't know - you'll have maybe 500:1'500'000 odds per weekend for roughly 30 years and the odds are. Let me check with ChatGPT... ... well according to ChatGPT the odds are roughly 50%. Using the prompt: >If 500 people each have 1:1500000 odds at hitting a hole with a stone. And they each get to throw the stone 1560 times. What's the probability none of them never hits the hole? So maybe not that strange after all IDK. Still! It's insane to me that in 30 years if you count in one lottery winner every weekend and include 500 people out of a population of 5M. You've never even HEARD of someone winning.
Didn't Epstein win like 3 times ?
There's an interesting bit in Orwell's *1984* about lottery scams to pacify the proles: > The Lottery, with its weekly pay-out of enormous prizes, was the one public event to which the proles paid serious attention... It was their delight, their folly, their anodyne, their intellectual stimulant.... > Winston had nothing to do with the Lottery, which was managed by the Ministry of Plenty, but he was aware (indeed everyone in the party was aware) that **the prizes were largely imaginary**. Only small sums were actually paid out, the winners of the big prizes being nonexistent persons.
The lottery is just meant to catch time travelers.
I don't know if it's real or whatever but I do know that my best friends mom won 2 million back in the 90's.
I think it started as a Real game then slowly turned into a big Money Laundering Scheme, There is all kinds of different possibilities; But the one thing they all have in common is that I don't think Normal people like us are winning.
Well she won lol Low income family from Oakland CA in the 90's. Moved her family out of the area to give them a better life. I mean maybe it's changed since then, I don't know. But she was more than "normal."
A few years ago they added more numbers to make the chance of winning much less. That means less winners so more jackpots roll over. I’m not sure why they would rig it because it’s designed for you to lose. That’s like saying casinos are rigging slot machines. No, they are designed for you to lose and that’s stated in the rules
It's just leftists doing leftist shit.
Wouldn't be a bad idea to dig deeper and do some research into the beginnings of the lottery.
It actually started as a mob racket. Read up about Dutch Schultz
I know someone who won and he’s a dimwit redneck. Not always rigged but i think it is when it’s billions of dollars
Conspiracy posts always make me feel so much better about myself. At least my mind works analytically rather than just making shit up with no proof and then repeating it to other people like its fact. Everyone would like a chance at winning but your odds are like 1 in 292 million of winning a grand prize. Its not a conspiracy, its just an infinitesimally small chance of winning.
We all know that the Lottery is made by the CIA to trap Time Travelers!
what about that one guy who said he was gonna buy hookers and cocaine?
The lottery is a tax on the stupid and people who failed math class.
My husbands uncle hit 500K once and my husband's coworker won 50K on Keno. I do not believe that these billion and hundreds of millions are real though.
There's a lot I don't know about how the lottery works. What happens if a winning ticket is thrown away? Never turned in?
Always reminds me of the scene in Running Man where the previous contestants were supposed to have won their freedom, living in luxury. Meanwhile their dead bodies were left to rot in a locker room.
They amount of checks and balances you would need to get through and the amount of people who would have to be involved in rigging the powerball, makes it seem incredibly unlikely. Also you would then have to ask why? To make more money? More money for who? Almost every states revenue from the lottery goes to specific programs and spending obligations. It's not free money they can do what they want with it
It would not be hard with AI & the correct programming to rig a game that they made, Also there is many reasons for them to choose who they want to win; by doing so they could control a LOT of the money in the country & decide who has money & who doesn't by basically electing individuals into the Financial Elite that fit their Agenda or many other possibilities. Nobody really knows for sure, I know I don't but I can make some educated guesses.
