Okay...if you had to choose between $14,000 cash today, or a 1 in 2 chance for $2,000,000.00 in 4 years, which do you choose?

lol this!

there is no way to get better odds on the lotto.

but I have investigated real numbers on scratch tickets.
here in WA, the state post the numbers of won prizes and the number of ticket still in circulation, many out there better the odds by playing the right game(usually the higher priced scratch)at the right with the right amount of un-won prizes and in the right area of the state. do they travel around the state buying up wads of certain tickets? yes they do. these is not known to many and the scratch winners never make the tv news so it is all good

my advice is to take some money and get into buying/selling or low cost flipping, but i don't mean houses. compounding even a 20% gain monthly, or even quicker, can pay off big if you dont mind actually working at it

When I get $2 million, I'm moving to Canada.

easy for me, I'm one step away from living in my car
14k NOW.

I ain't sure that two years from now they'll be 'money'.

$2 million in 4 years.

Would wait. 14K is nothing.
