For my retirement plan, I put most of my investment money in something that relies solely on pure, dumb luck. With the rest, I play the lottery.
The Atlantic Lottery Corporation has a game called Atlantic Payday. There are 77 numbers, you pick 4, and if you pick the right 4 numbers you win $2,000 every 2 weeks for 20 years.
I matched 3 out of 4 and got 50 bucks… hmph. Time to retire.

15 years ago I got 5 out of 6 numbers on 6/49. When I checked the numbers I first saw my pattern of numbers closely matching those in the newspaper, and I nearly shit my pants; you don’t see the individual numbers, you see the pattern is the same. Then at 2nd glance I noticed I was missing one number, and I still almost shit my pants. FIVE NUMBERS OUT OF SIX! That’s gotta be 1/2 million or something retarded. But no. It’s about $2000. Still exciting, but IT WAS FIVE OUT OF SIX NUMBERS FER CHRIST’S SAKE!!!

A couple of years ago, I thought I had matched the Tag number. Of the six digits, I matched the first two, the last two, but the middle two were flipped.
For a brief second I thought it was $100,000. Turned out to be 20 bucks.
