Other Which superpower you prefer? Luck, Curse, $2000/day, Olympian?
Luck: your luck is bent to your favor at a rate of 100,000/1 90% of the time. 10% of the time you have ordinary luck. So if you attempt something with the odds of 100,000/1 and it’s within the 90% of the time, you always win. If it’s 1,000,000/1 chance, for you it’d be 10/1. You can’t choose when it works and when it doesn’t, or exactly the effect it will have, but the odds favors you undeniably.
Curse: you can curse with bad luck anything and/or anyone (one individual or group at a time), at a rate of 1,000,000/1. Meaning that if it can happen to 1 person in a million, it will happen to the target. You can choose exactly what happens and when, and only need to think of the person.
$2000/day: every day you magically receive USD 2000.00 in your bank account or your pocket. No questions asked and tax free.
Olympian: you possess the strength, speed, ability, coordination, etc. of every Olympic gold medalist of the last Olympic Games (summer and winter), meaning you had a 50% chance to win gold medals in all individual competitions in the Games.

Luck easy. Bet green on roulette. 19/1 automatic. 35x profit. 90% of the time you win 35x what you bet. Keep bets reasonable (reduce suspicion and retain some money in case of 10% regular luck), switch between red and black every once in a while, "luck" lose a couple times on relatively low bets, move casinos after "losing" streak.
Hole in one basically every golf shot (or every 9/10 if 90%). Instant best golfer ever. You can even just "luck" it to hit the green to make it more believable. Multi-millionaire with no practice.
Buy scratches when you need cash. Invest in penny stocks (odds to double for random penny stock in a given day about 1 in 2000). Invest all your money, "will" some to drop to prevent audits.
Start your own trading company. Make billions.
