All you math gurus out there, I have a question for you: When a lottery jackpot gets this high, in theory, is it actually profitable to play? For example, the jackpot is 370 million and the odds of winning are 1 in 176 million. I know you'd have to figure in the odds of splitting the jackpot with other players, but with those odds, and playing a jackpot that large, if you could play long enough and often enough, would it be profitable to buy a lottery ticket in these situations?
I wanted to know why billionaires don't even try as well... I mean the 176 Million you put will be tax deductible right off of the winnings?
my mom and a few of my sisters did quick pick. ten bucks. if we win, we split it. i bought five on my own this morning.
I never buy lotto tickets, but I bought 10 of 'em today. What the hell, right? I'll NEVER win if I don't play.
I spent $2. If I win I'm buying up the lower bowl @Toyota center for 1 year and distributing them among Clutchfans memebers. ...by the way didn't someone start a thread about past lotto winners and their run with bad luck.
I spent $5 and got a $1 quick pick for free from my local deli. This will really become a moral dilemma if the free dollar wins.
I doubt I would ever get to spend the money if I won............................................................because I would have a cornbreading heart attack.
5-18-22-36-37 10 1-2-13-24-45 8 I get 10% if someone wins. There are more people who would play for the pot. You'd have to split it between them.
I got 2 numbers on one line. Not sure what that is worth. Whatever it's worth, split it among 20 people.
I got 5 number right...in 5 lines. The most I had on one line was 2. I'm sure some old retired couple will win, blowing the money on an RV and trips to Vegas.
