Billion Dollar Lottery: The Price of the American Dream

Josh Johnson | March 5, 2026



Just announced more dates on The Flowers Tour! Check out https://joshjohnsoncomedy.com/tour for dates and to sign up for the waitlist to be notified when I’m performing in your city.

Hi Friends,

This week I wanted to share my thoughts on the lottery and what it means for someone to win it. The potential implications and what it must do to a person. The lottery has made millionaires of everyday working people and the shift is more than some can handle.

    See i think it's the opposite. When you get rich instantly and didn't have to fight for it for decades you're more willing to let it go. Look at mkinzey scott bezos.

    If you don't have to deal with a thriving ecosystem of rats where you live crocs are really good footwear.
    Good for bad pain and great for wearing in areas wear your shoes could get wet.
    Truly would be hard pressed to find better pool side shoes than crocs.

    That being said wouldn't catch me dead in partially open shoes in a big city like NYC.

    Sorry, Josh, couldn't finish this one. The "driving to the middle of nowhere/air hangar" part immediately made me think this woman was about to get murdered. I think cheating would be the last thing she was thinking of. Just turned from bad to worse. I'm glad the audience seemed to be enjoying it, though.

    The fact, that the audicnce instantly gets the joke about jumping in front of a driving car is a intersting method to describe the state of the USA in the 21st century.

    The best/worst lottery story was the guy who won big, took all his friends to Vegas and partied with hookers and blow. He lasted 11 days before he dropped dead from a heart attack.

    He literally partied himself to death, but if you’ve got to go, that’s an epic way to do it.

    @13:26 As wild as it seems to those of us born "last century", a million dollars really isn't all that much wealth anymore thanks to wild inflation. For people who grew up in the 50s and 60s, achieving millionaire status was pretty much like being a billionaire today. Now a millionaire is just someone who is doing okay and probably can pay all their bills without sweating too much as long as they don't live an extravagant lifestyle.

    It's insane that the US lottery has a chance to give people at times…more money than nations make in an ENTIRE YEAR. 1 single US American suddenly is wealthy enough if they really wanted…they could take steps to take over a nation entirely. Not as in buy it with a price tag outright, but to buy it slowly via the important business they own. Take over they're electricity, gas, and groceries, and internet companies and that nation is essentially in your pocket. What ever policies they want to try to implement you could destroy via economic means. You could hire your own private military simply to guard your business like Chinese billionaires.

    I was t-boned by a car while I was on my bike once. My bike got pushed out into the street while I rolled off their windshield and landed on my feet in front of the car. Their windshield was totally caved in and you could barely see through it. I went up to the passenger window to see if they were okay before I got back on my bike and continued to university.

    Dog, I've had enough of all the corc's shade. I believe this is a perception problem. Dont look at them as flawed shoes, Look at them as Improved Sandals, for occasions where you may be going to the beach but also might hike around the tide pools and shit. That is like a perfect "Thank God For Crocs" moment. There are many others but they are improved sandals. Think moments where damn I want to wear sandals but cant because we gotta go do this other thing dang it!
