I Spent $50,000 On Lottery Tickets And Won ____
In this entertainment video, MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) and his crew (Chris Tyson, Chandler Hallow, Jake Franklin, Ethan, Garrett, and others) spend $50,000 on high‑value scratch‑off lottery tickets (mostly $30 and $20 tickets) to see if they can turn a profit. The video documents the group buying, scratching, and reacting to each ticket, interspersed with comedic banter and a sponsor segment for the mobile game World of Tanks Blitz. Throughout the experiment they win small amounts, occasionally hit $1,000 prizes, and at one point reach a temporary profit of about $700 before the losses mount. By the end they have scratched $35,000 worth of tickets, earned $24,055, and after accounting for the $50,000 spend they end with a net loss of $17,700. The crew discusses what they would buy with the lost money, jokes about future videos with larger budgets, and ends with a call‑to‑action for viewers to subscribe and comment. The video blends the thrill of gambling, group dynamics, and typical MrBeast high‑energy style while also fulfilling a sponsorship obligation.

I spent $50,000 on scratch-off tickets. Most of the tickets are $30 and some of them are $20, so we ended up with over 2,000 high-dollar tickets. The top prize for these green tickets is $10 million. There's a chance one of these green tickets could have $10 million on them. The top prize for these orange tickets is $4 million. Last time we spent 30 grand and we only won $20,300.
Boo!
So last time we lost almost 10 grand. This time Mark Mark my words, we'll lose $20 grand. Just kidding, I have a really good feeling about this. I think honestly, if I'm being realistic, we're gonna win $5 million.
I got the first winner, $40.
No prize.
No prize.
No prize. Wait, wait, wait, how many have we done so far?
10. Wow.
So we've spent $300 and so far we've only won $40.
That's a good—
That's just great, great, great odds, yep.
Start out good, guys.
Good conversion. Hey, $50.
$50.
I won $52.
Rub our 50s together.
Now it's $100.
30.
Why am I not winning?
Because I'm better than you.
Big win.
Wait a minute, I just realized, what if we actually, like, we spent 50 grand on these tickets, what if we only win like 20?
That would not be very good.
I know.
I swear to God, if I don't break even this video, $50,000 is so much more than $30,000.
That's how math works.
Yes.
Higher numbers are more.
Who would have thunk it?
Kind of scared now. I went from being super happy to super scared. Oh dude, read that.
Whoa!
No way!
So if it's a winner, that means it's $1,000 or more and we have to manually scratch it.
Well, that happened last time.
Yeah, but last time—
It's $1,000.
Oh, oh, that's not much.
So it was the absolute minimum. It was only $1,000, but hopefully this one's more than $1,000. Guys, this could be $10 million. It literally could. 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 500.
So $1,000.
Yeah, we won $1,000!
Woo!
I wanted $10 million. So far we scratched off $720 worth, and we've won $1,380. So we're like $700 profit. Before we go any further, I need to tell you guys about the sponsor of this video. World of Tanks Blitz is a free-to-play game that supports cross-play on iOS, Android, Mac, Steam, and Windows 10s.
It features high-intense battles and tons of customization. World of Tanks Blitz recently collaborated with Peter Pound, the vehicle designer of the movie Mad Max. Max Fury Road to make two amazing new tanks, the Scavenger and the Gravedigger. The Scavenger is an incredibly powerful tank that can be earned for free by achieving 50 victories.
Oh, he aims in on him and it's gonna take a shot. He takes the shot. Oh, somebody else.
As you can tell, we play World of Tanks Blitz all the time.
It's our favorite.
They also released a new feature called the Mad Games Arena, which is a new sandstorm battlefield where survivors can use modded vehicles to claim post-apocalyptic tanks.

Sometimes I have explosive diarrhea, but it's not as exciting as scratch-offs. Well, sometimes it is.

I could probably buy like a big tire.
A really big tire.

Now you have to do one.
You don't know that. I was like this.
I was yelling like this. He doesn't get He doesn't get screen time until he does it.

Oh, what if it was $10 million or $1 million?
$1,000!
We've won $1,000! Hey, do you guys mind? I'm trying to be a celebrity. Sorry, Ethan, please leave that in. So far we've won $1,000 3 separate times. And for clarification, when this video goes public, these will all be cashed in, so don't try to rob us. So far we've won $10,000 off of scratch-off tickets. But remember guys! We spent 5 times that—
Yurm yurm yum yum yum yum yum yum Does it make you imagine like a little worm?
Nah... For me it's like Pokémon. Oh yeah right someone figure out what Pokémon does "yurm" go well with and tweet me video of it.
Charizard?!
Hahaha!
Yurm!
Go, Charizard!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Guys, I'm gonna be really sad if I lose $20,000. You know how depressing that is? That means I'm gonna lose $30 grand between this video and the last video. Chris, what could you buy with $30 grand if we follow suit and lose $20,000 this video?
I could pay off my car and then have some money for another fence. We currently have scratched $17,670., and we have a total currently of $13,130 made.
Let it go!
Let it go!
I am one with the wind and sky! This just in: man who wears anime shirts is in fact weird. Who would have thought? More shocking stories at 11. The air is breathable.
That you say there's actually such thing as the now.
100.
Time is just a, uh, a concept.
Jimmy just got 100 and not even celebrating.
Whoa!
All right, get update him with your totals.
$15,130. Jake, how many do we have?
7, 69.
Didn't sound super confident, but okay. Bless you.
Bless you.
I'm dying.
I expect lots of memes with this sound. All right, this is the original.
Here, come in the frame.
Just pop your head in and yearn for him.
Hello. Yum!
That feels good.
Kamehameha!
Drop the viewers, watch this.
Can you go like this?
Yeah.
This? Like that?
What was that?
Somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me. 30. I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. So far we've scratched off $35,000 worth of tickets. This is a stack of 10 grand and we're gonna go get 5 grand more. And we've earned $24,055. Maybe if we torture some of the losing tickets, these tickets will be afraid to lose.
All right, let's do it.
Let's go. We've been losing a lot. So before we go back to scanning, we wanna scare the rest of the tickets into winning. And the only way to scare tickets into winning is by beating up all the losers. Marching. That's right, to all the scratch-off tickets of the world, you better not be a loser. Now we're gonna do this, teach them a lesson. This is what happens when you're a negative scratch-off ticket.
Oh shit, just throw it, throw it.
Oh God, who knew lottery tickets were so flammable? I mean, look at this, almost, uh, I don't know. It's burning my skin though.
Yeah.
Let that be a lesson. If you're a scratch-off ticket, you better be a winner or that's your fate. All right, back to business. Jake, what could you buy with $10,000?
A new TV, 75-inch TV.
75-inch TV.
What else?
That's not 10 grand.
Uh, you'd be surprised.
You would? Chris, what would you spend the 10 grand on?
If I had 10 grand, I would make an entire like entertainment entertainment center with like a nice projector, couches, all kinds of stuff.
Well, guess what, boys? We don't have it. We lost that $10 grand. Your hopes and dreams went down the toilet with these tickets.
We are at $27,065.
Yeah, boy.
After your next loser, I'm a yeah, boy until you win.
Peeeew. So Chris, how was your lunch?
I had kale, it was pretty good. Never had kale before.
What are you, plankton?
Achoo!
Feel any different?
No, just tired from my boat ride.
Yeah, it's been a long day, man. How was your lunch? I know I asked you like 3 times already.
I had kale. Never had kale before.
1, 2, 3.
Achoo!
All right. Oh wow, I feel a little different. Hey, all right, all right. This is the last ticket. Will this be the $10 million one?
Probably yes.
No prize. All right, we are done scanning tickets. $50,000 spent, and these were all the winners right here. Were all the winners of the $50,000 spent. In total, we made $32,000. $300 off the tickets, which means we have a loss of $17,700. I'm sick.
I'm covered in glitter now, but yeah, that's a pretty big loss.
All right guys, it's time we play a little game. Jake, what could you buy with $17,700? That's what we lost today.
Pay off my car.
You could buy a car. Garrett, what could you do?
I get a new Beamer.
You get two Beamers, man. He could be a Beamer boy. What could you do? Don't do something with cars like these guys.
Yeah, I'm not gonna do something with the cars, I would buy every single cheeseburger I could buy with that amount of money.
That's like 20,000 cheeseburgers. You wanna know what I would buy?
What?
More scratch-off tickets. So there you go, guys. We lost $17,700. If this video does well and you guys liked it, comment down below because I'll do $100,000 next. And if we do a— my mom's laughing. If we do $100,000, statistically that means we could lose $35,000 today. Oh, that just hurts saying it.
Who cares? It's just money, right?
Yeah, who cares about money?
We print that every day.
First video was $30 grand spent, $9,000 loss. Second video was $50,000 spent, almost $18,000 loss. So if we do $100,000 spent, that means we'll lose, uh, like a lot of money. $36,000.
It seems like there's like a pattern here. Yeah, and that was a big boy.
Replay, dude.
It's like a pattern here.
For real though, we'll probably do one in the future with $100,000, and I bet my left left toe will probably win $1 million in that video. So if you see that video in your sub box, make sure you click on it because we've had so much losses that we're guaranteed to win next time.
I'll bet my right toe.
I raise you with my second right toe.
I need my other toe, I can't live without it, sorry.
All right, everyone put your hands here and on 3 we're gonna say subscribe, right? Because this will trick them into subscribing.
Yep.
1, 2, 3, coconut!
Oh, something.
Yeah, yeah, very good, very good.
Mr. Beasto! Mr. Beasto! Mr. Beasto!
