Penny wise pound foolish. The only way not to go through the paper is to go through the rolls.

The idea that it could happen is false hope though, because you're buying into the idea that the chance is worth $5. The chance is so small it might as well be zero. So you're way over spending for a could that is practically a won't.

There are some situations with some lotteries where the math works in your favor because of for instance rollover. But if you're committed to $5 a week you're not that lottery player.

If you were to put $5 in S&P 500 weekly for a decade it is far more likely that you'll have a profit of a few thousand on top of the money that you did not spend on lottery tickets (because you still own the stock). That's not really as radically marxist as my previous comment might make me seem, but for your personal wallet it's way better.

In this economy if you want to become rich, the best thing is to start out rich. The next best thing is starting a company and pocketing the productivity of your employees. Back to that marxism thing again.

Ah, so not only false hope but also crushing class consciousness.

I'm not surprised. I speak Dutch.

I absolutely agree.

They probably shouldn't have named it London in hindsight. But back then of course they probably didn't know they were going to revisit Liberty City/Vice City/San Andreas a couple of times.

Too bad that's a 13.5 hour flight.

There are plenty of over-the-top British stereotypes they could do that the rest of the world would also appreciate. Royalty, Jacob Rees-Mogg/Boris Johnson style politicians, Brexit craziness, chavs, Geordie Shore, empire nostalgia.

GTA is satire about American society. Because of Hollywood, TV, and English being the lingua franca of the world, this way they can reach a far bigger audience. You couldn't do exactly the same game set in Helsinki because the world knows far less about Finnish stereotypes. Ninja Edit: Random thought about satirical games set in Finland: My Summer Car is kind of that game.

But they have explored London before. I think the UK would probably the best setting if you would.

Alright. I thought I'd missed a controversy.

I know some people complain about GTA Online, but with anything as surplus to human needs as video games I'd say just vote with your Dollar.
