So…First they get the winning numbers (and a few hints on the care and building a time machine), and with the money buy the parts needed to build a time machine (and maybe a few newspapers to get the winning numbers). Of course, since you have to be of legal age to buy a lottery ticket (and cash it in), perhaps it might be a good idea to start the planning stage while you wait.

Me and a lot of my friends would promise each other that if any of us ever invented a time machine, we would go back in time to that exact moment. No future friends ever showed up.

There’s one slight flaw in that plan. No store is gonna sell you a lottery ticket because you’re too young.

I hate my future self SOOooo much. He’s decided to keep it all for himself, and now I can’t afford to make the machine.

Okay. So. I know I defended Miles’ naivete last time. But upon further study, there appears to be a fine thin line between naivete and just plain foolishness.

And how do you plan to build this Time Machine?

Even after they discovered that information COULD be transferred faster than light, or against the flow of time, they found that there was still a restriction against transferring anything that could actually be useful.

Like the ol’ song went:

’ An – ticipation! ’ … :)

We had family living in Japan, which is about 12 hours ahead of us. I figured that it was far enough into the future that he could give us winning lottery numbers. But it never worked out

Here’s what happened: they invented the time machine and went back with the lottery numbers.

The kids got so rich they didn’t bother to invent the time machine, and will never go back to give themselves the numbers….

That’s rich!
