YOU are not a winner.

No. You have to get back on the hamster wheel at work tomorrow in a job that will never make you billions.

You life has not changed. Your bills are still going to pile in. Try again next week.

As it turns out, people are surprised that they didn’t win $2 billion in the US Powerball, despite having a better chance of being struck by lightning or just flat out dying.

But never mind. The internet is sharing your pain. And its response to the misery of not being rich right now is hilarious.
