I will be a billionaire tomorrow

[progressive hunter]

Clearly maths was not one of your better subjects .But thatt is why so many brainless Sheeple bet .

from where I sit its a win or loose outcome,,,

 

[norwegen]

I just might buy USMB and expel all the inane Lefties on my Ignore List, for the good of everyone else.

Can I be a hall monitor? I was one in middle school, and was worth every penny.

It doesn't raise your odds. Each ticket still only has 1/330,000,000 chance. If they had the same numbers, you still don't win anymore--the pot is just split that many times.

What I was saying is that 10/330 mil is not that much different odds than 1/330 mil. It may be theoretically 10 times higher but ten times almost zero is still damn close to zero.

1/330,000,000 = 3.0303030303030304e-9

10/330,000,000 = 3.0303030303030305e-8

No, that would be a flip of a coin.

That is a 1/2 chance of inning.

Buying a ticket is 1/330,000,000 chance of winning.

when I wake up in the morning I will have either won or lost,,,

Look at it this way. You know that there many times when there is no winner.

There are 330,000,000 possible number combinations.

If 50 million people buy tickets and all chose different numbers then there are 280,000,000 possible combinations not chosen.

Kind of reminds me of what I was told when I first got to Vietnam. I was told that it was a 50/50 chance I would be killed. Either I would be killed or I would not be killed.

What a bunch of bubble bursters.

I hope you win......as long as we have the same numbers.
I rarely play, but I bought a few "pops" and rounded out the total bill to $20, including that whopping $6 on 3 tickets.

 

[progressive hunter]

He wasn't killed.

how can we be sure???

Odds of breaking even are 24 to 1. Odds of winning the jackpot are 1 out of 302+ million.

If you don't play, odds are you can only dream about it.

When it gets that high, I have to toss in $2 and dream a little.

 

[Thunk]

Cut it in half for taxes...that's 750 million.

Then cut it in half again for taking the cash option...that's 375 mil.

Eh...petty cash...barely worth bothering with.

What you are buying is the fantasy that you will win. Cheap expenditure of $2, huh? You get a couple of days entertainment for it.

Absolutely. Debates about which cars we would buy, states we would buy homes in. Charities we would start or support. All of ours are connected to animals.

Seriously, if you rig elections why not lotteries?

I saw your whiny posts this morning. You obviously are one of the biggest whiners on this site.

And now, besides a whiner, you're the biggest troll. Way to go. You just got awarded the Daily Stick in the Eye Award.

My point is that your odds are no different if you have 1 ticket or ten. Each ticket has a 1/330M chance. You just have 10 tickets with the same odds.

Most of my lottery fantasies involve thinking about how much money I would have to give Tricia Whitaker to have sex with me. She does the team interviews on Bally for the Tampa Bay Rays.

 

[ChemEngineer]

Wow! That's 15 billion 800 million dollars if you win all ten tickets!

Now you're getting silly. Anyways I don't need 15 billion dollars.
Just one billion will do fine.
