Morning everyone!

I dreamt something about snow, people in green clothes and eggs.

Then I woke up all confused...
It was Easter and the elves from x-mas were getting involved hiding rabbit eggs.

Rabbit.. eggs?

This isn't pokémon.
Or is it...?

Dun dun duuuuun!

yeah...

Now just think if everyone who bought tickets would have invested that money instead of just throwing it away...

People only think of that AFTER the numbers are drawn and they realize they didn't win anything. It's like that everywhere in the world.

You do realize that the interest of $558 million (assuming you won and took the cash option) alone would be ~$6 million per year if you just left it in the bank.

Actually investing it, and smartly, you could get ~$25 million a year interest....

Hell, even I wouldn't have to work ever again and just live off the interest of that alone. Never touching the principle at all.

Banks are only insured up to so much. How does one simply leave that much in a bank?

Insured per account.

Instead of having 1 account with $558 million dollars, you have 2,232 bank accounts holding $250k each.

I mean, why else do rich people have off-shore accounts?

Can't hide the income from it, foreign banks are regulated just like domestic banks are.

Oh, you would still have at most 3 bank accounts to draw from.

Bank accounts = investment accounts according to the FDIC. Just have the interest go to specific accounts automatically and you will never have to worry about money again.

Also, your main bank accounts would have the most money in them. It would be silly to keep those at $250k and less. Just the investment (money making) accounts you would keep at $250k, just for insurance purposes.

I also realized that it's been 4+ months since I received a warning, much less a ban. Ever since a green went to a purple, it seems like all of my problems disappeared overnight.

if you choose an option of "locking in the funds for 5 years or 10 or 20 years" you can secure a higher interest rate right? then the bank is ecstatic and can freely borrow your funds to others for their own extreme profits during the duration etc.
Yeah, but you also lock those funds for a period of time, and you don't collect the income until the CD (Cash Deposit) time expires.

It's also still a worse interest rate to use than to actively invest it. CDs usually pay 1-2% more than the going interest rate, but you can get 5-8% more interest by actively investing the money.
