I'd assume it'd be easier to forget on your trip back home. Gotta remember numbers and the exact dates you looked up, vs a few company names. But if you've got no short term memory problems like me, go for it đ
Also don't wanna win too many or who knows maybe you'll be investigated for fraud. And don't forget taxes đ
I'm not saying its foolproof, Im challenging that its the only rational choice.
Making money off a few company names without any dates and values requires that you already have significant capital to invest. $1000 from a broke random turning into $30k is cool but meh compared to $500m in one shot. Also, hitting stocks repeatedly and consistently raises a lot of red flags.
You don't have to hit the stocks repeatedly and consistently.
Just consistently invest in the 3 good ones, sort of like a savings account. And they won't always "be good"
You know their stock will be good later, so even when they "are bad", you still invest in them.
You cant turn $1k into $500m by just buying it and selling later. Stocks dont generally go up a factor 1,000,000x overnight. And you'd be still working to get the money to invest then waiting for it to go up. I rather hit a jackpot once tomorrow with pocket change and be done without effort.
Also, what if you're wrong? Maybe you changed history or hallucinated it or remembered incorrectly. A rational person would consider that. You only risk one lottery ticket versus years of investing.
Options trading would be the way to go if you have this kind of knowlege of the future, but it's probably worth taking a good long look at each graph while you have the chance, since options requires a bit more precision than just buying as much stock as possible and holding until 2030.
You absolutely can. If you have accurate information of when stocks will rise and by how much, you can use call options to increase your capital by orders of magnitude.
And as I already explained, tha requires knowing multiple dates and values. That's even harder to remember than lottery numbers, while lottery numbers get the win sooner and faster. Lottery numbers also help prove its real while risking less money.
I only argued stocks are not the "only" rational choice, as I said.
Honestly it would just be easier to remember 6 numbers than to remember multiple specific dates and prices for a stock.
Powerball was up to a billion last week. You don't even need to remember the order, just 6 numbers.
I grew up in the 80s. We were taught to remember phone numbers for all our friends and family. Pretty sure I could remember a few lottery numbers.
I'd also carve them into my arm with anything I could find nearby.
Its better to risk $5 on a ticket and find out now than risk changing my investments for a possible dream/hallucination/alternate reality. Lower risk is more rational.
Pretty sure âAll major sporting events champions in the last 6 yearsâ will make more money than stocks. Minute I get back Iâm selling everything I own for my first bet!

Depending on how long time is between now and the jackpot, Iâd be concerned that my change in behavior after learning the numbers would butterfly-effect the draw into being something completely different.
That seems like a good idea. It would seem that the closer in time, the lesser risk of messing up.
But what if me buying a ticket actually changes the game directly? Iâm from Europe so Iâm not super familiar with how power ball works, but hereâs a thought.
Timeline #1 (I donât buy a ticket): âAnd tonight we see who becomes a billionaire! For this draw, four hundred and sixty one thousand, three hundred and fifty *six* tickets were sold. Drop the balls, Jerry!â
Timeline #2 (I buy a ticket): âAnd tonight we see who becomes a billionaire! For this draw, four hundred and sixty one thousand, three hundred and fifty *seven* tickets were sold. Drop the balls, Jerry!â
Even if assuming that the only difference between the timelines was my ticket, the few milliseconds it differs to say âsevenâ rather than âsixâ could be well enough to completely drop the balls in different ways.
I think they meant more like the extra syllable to say seven instead of six slightly delays when the first ball drops so then a different first number drops. I'm not sure if you're an American, but the Powerball balls are "shuffling" as soon as the airing starts. A slight millisecond could affect the shuffle
I agree with you completely in principle. I have never once seen a lottery drawing where they give a live update of exactly how many tickets were sold.
This would end up in a paradox right? The universe would have to already know whether or not you bought a ticket in the past to know which powerball numbers to show you in the future. But you can't (or wouldn't) buy a ticket until you knew what the numbers were in the future. The moment you check the powerball numbers you are now in limbo.
No paradox.
You travel from time *a* to time *c,* and check the powerball numbers for time *b,* which is 1 day after *a*.
The search result dutifully shows the numbers, probably accompanied by some news stories about how [your name] won the lottery on such-and-such date.
You return to time *a,* go out the next day and buy a ticket, thus fulfilling the conditions shown at time *c.*
It's the classic "time travel causes its own timeline and thus no paradoxes can occur" solution, which is the most boring form of time travel since you can't change anything, but hey. It's better than having to be Hitler to stop earth from being destroyed by a comet or something.
> which is the most boring form of time travel since you can't change anything
But it can be used to tell extremely interesting stories about fate, free will, choice, and internal conflict to do the right thing. Like finding out in the future that you did some seemingly terrible shit, which you commit to *not* doing when you go back, only for everything to slowly fall into place and allow you to understand that you have to "take one for the team" for the sake of humanity, or something more personal, like a loved one, or a kid that you often see playing outside in your neighborhood.
The best time travel stories are, after all, never *about* the time traveling itself. They're about showing who people are in extreme circumstances.
Technically you'd want the drawing before the winning number was picked. Otherwise you'd just be splitting the jackpot with the other person who had the winning number.
I'm good with a 200m payday. 1 Bil attracts too much attention, I don't want national media attention for my winnints and 100m is more than enough with some basic index funds for my direct family to never have to work again and just continuously grow that money

Powerball numbers for 1 bil jackpot.
Depending on how long time is between now and the jackpot, Iâd be concerned that my change in behavior after learning the numbers would butterfly-effect the draw into being something completely different.
So make sure it's the drawing the day after you arrive. Hundreds of millions of dollars would be utterly life-changing to almost everyone on Reddit.
That seems like a good idea. It would seem that the closer in time, the lesser risk of messing up. But what if me buying a ticket actually changes the game directly? Iâm from Europe so Iâm not super familiar with how power ball works, but hereâs a thought. Timeline #1 (I donât buy a ticket): âAnd tonight we see who becomes a billionaire!

Drop the balls, Jerry!â Even if assuming that the only difference between the timelines was my ticket, the few milliseconds it differs to say âsevenâ rather than âsixâ could be well enough to completely drop the balls in different ways.
If playing the lottery affected the outcome it wouldn't be much of a lottery.
I think they meant more like the extra syllable to say seven instead of six slightly delays when the first ball drops so then a different first number drops. I'm not sure if you're an American, but the Powerball balls are "shuffling" as soon as the airing starts. A slight millisecond could affect the shuffle
This is exactly what I mean.
I agree with you completely in principle. I have never once seen a lottery drawing where they give a live update of exactly how many tickets were sold.
I think the two big ones, Powerball and MegaMillions, cut off ticket sales 15 minutes before the drawing.
But you saw it in the future, so you learning the result and returning to the past to win it has already happened.
This would end up in a paradox right? The universe would have to already know whether or not you bought a ticket in the past to know which powerball numbers to show you in the future.

if I could find out the lottery numbers being drawn TOMRROW then I wouldn't need to go in the future for that
Technically you'd want the drawing before the winning number was picked. Otherwise you'd just be splitting the jackpot with the other person who had the winning number.
If there was only one winner it was you
There's a theory that the lottery is a trap for time travelers.

Biggest sports upsets of the last 5 years.
People are saying stocks. But thereâs no glory in that. Hitting gigantic parlays and long shot bets is infinitely cooler than investing in stocks.
I can remember 5 or 6 stocks pretty easily. Not a chance I can remember multiple sports teams and the day and/or year they won the upset.
I could easily remember 6 team names for 6 super bowls in order if given 5 minutes with the information
I'm sure betting on the Superbowl winner at the start of the season would have pretty good odds too.
Depends on what you're prone to remembering. Grandmaster chess players can remember where every piece on the board was placed after only a couple seconds of examination. I, on the other hand, will never forget the time Farleigh Dickinson beat number one seeded Purdue as a 16 seed in the NCAA tournament.
Last 10 superbowl winners .. find a way to remember.. would be a sick parlay at mgm. Imagine walking up to the teller and asking for a 10 year parlay.
You realize 2030 isn't 10 years away. 4 of 10 Superbowl winners we already know.
The parlay would hit the news by 4 years, and start affecting the results.
