How much enjoyment can you get from playing the lottery when you’ve already made $180 million?
Most of the enjoyment of the lottery is buying the ticket with the belief it could change your life. But for Arenas, even if he won it’s not going to change his life. So why play? It’s like a high roller playing penny slots.

About to eat some humble pie calling Agent 0 a fraud. Had no idea California paid all winnings parimutuelly unlike all the other states that pay a fixed amount. Not that I feel that for him but he got screwed out of 700K cuz the other 2nd place winner from my state(NY) got the full $1M. Kind of staggering if you think about this: Odds of a high school player making the NBA are 3 in 10,000 & getting 5 numbers in Mega millions is 1 in 12,607,306(Divide that by the 5 games he played: comes out to 1 in 2,521,461.) Odds of both things happening to the same person gotta be in the trillions. Interestingly enough not the 1st time something like this happened to an ex-athlete. Former Dallas Cowboys WR Hollywood Henderson won $28M in the Texas Lottery in 2000. FUKK my life!!!

What are the odds of somebody not making it to the store in time to play the lotto, but the store owner knows his numbers and plays them for that person, and then wins?
Gotta be pretty high

At 1st this story smelled fishier than the stench coming between Nancy Pelosi's legs but I'm starting to believe it. Considering he's a high profile athlete it was reported he was close enough to the gas station owner to just text him to play him those numbers. Unless you think Arenas decided to photoshop a fake ticket after noticing there was 1 second place winner in his state you might as well give him the benefit of the doubt.
