My mate got a job at Macq and is on the verge of taking out a 1 million dollar loan in his name for some crazy get rich quick scheme. I have a feeling it's going to backfire. Oh and btw, he got the job straight out of high school.

is he going to buy lotto tickets with the million dollars?

i mean, after all, the potential returns on lotto tickets are incredible. you can get back thousands of times the amount you invested.

it's just a shame you're so likely to lose it all.
