well then I guess I would go with winning the lottery then
Well, that is only if they catch you with it. Like if you found it in another country, and tried to smuggle it all out of the country. Suppose you could take it and sell it all.@OmegaDynasty said:

Same can be said for winning the lottery.
Not as much as finding treasure. People win the lottery everytime everywhere in the world. Finding treasure is something more rare and would draw more exposure.
True, although that one guy was killed over his lottery ticket.@_slim_ said:

One instance. Minimal. Finding treasure would almost always lead to Nazis and Soviets chasing you and trying to kill you. Not to mention a big giant ball!
Now when you say people are winning lotteries every time, everywhere are you talking about millions or the little 5$-10$ scratch off. I found hard to believe people are out there winning million dollar lotteries everywhere, every time.@_slim_ said:

@_slim_: There are lotteries in almost every country. There are at least 2 per week per country that gives millions.
wait, now when you say find buried treasure..are you talkin' gold or regular money people buried? if it's regular money, then i'd pick finding treasure, however if it's gold, i'd have to go through the whole process of exchanging it for cash..which is a hassle
Winning the lottery is the quickest way to get rich, but at the same time, it's the quickest way to get broke.
Though finding treasure may be worth the money, as people mentioned above, it can get more attention and it'd be rare to find one.
Finding buried treasure comes with the satisfaction of knowing you earned it, whereas winning the lottery merely means you didn't really deserve the money. I'd go for the treasure.
Next thing you know, I'll be rocking a wicked red and blue scarf, a gauntlet and parkouring across a desert city.
Treasure. Hopefully there's some mystical artifact granting superhuman abilities, which someone carelessly tossed in with all the gold.

I think this would happen in my country, they would give me some reward and take the treasure, fuck that
give me lottery money
Hmm...this choice is somewhat easy...
See, because if I found treasure that means I'm an adventurer...maybe a doctor. Archaeologist, probably. Like Doc Savage, or Tom Strong. Which probably means that I have a really hot chick travelling with me.
Lottery ticket is boring. Though, I could be a roguish gambler...
No, lets go with the treasure, where exactly do I find it? Is it in the Caribbean? Can my hot chick/fellow adventurer/maybe doctor be wearing a bikini while we find it? Not one of those revealing ones, one that's moderately respectable and leaves something to the imagination. Then when I haul out the treasure chest she actually turns out to be an international thief and takes all my doubloons.
Wait, f*ck, I don't like where this story is going...
I'm just gonna have to take your word for it. Still find that hard to believe.@_slim_: There are lotteries in almost every country. There are at least 2 per week per country that gives millions.
