What's ass is that there are couples that have won the shyt multiple times, there was a Michigan couple that won Mega Millions 2x in the span of like 3 years, once for $15 million, and the second time for $42 million. Like why are you still fukking playing? :stopitslime:
That seems really greedy but the sad part is some people keep playing the lottery because they blew through their original winnings.:snoop: Like damn we need the extra lucky people to take a year off and give the rest of us a chance to win. Just saw this story about a man in his 90's playing just so he can give his family money and they will come visit him and pretend to love him. He is limping and on a cane and cant really get out and enjoy the money anymore but he is really lonely and wants his family to be happy and come visit him and call. His place looks like a mess his family should come clean up instead of letting him live like that and do tv interviews looking like they take all his money and leave him nothing for himself so he is living in his own trash.

I assume it varies from state to state. Powerball costs $2 and the odds of losing are vastly higher than the $1 variants. Out here we have one called the superlotto, which is the one i play occasionally. The odds of winning a smaller jackpot from a couple hundred to maybe $20,000 or so is actually fairly high, with all things considered. Like i said, i'll only buy them if I'm going in for a big powerball pot at the same time though.

Yeah or fantasy 5.

Most people buy quick picks and most of the winners are quick picks.
What's the story on the powerplay for an extra dollar? Should I have got that shyt :lupe:


Hate when I got the same numbers on multiple quickpick. This time the got a regular ball and Powerball the same number on 1 ticket :martin:

What you just said doesn't make sense and is not true. Based on probability your chances should be higher the more tickets you have. It's still a small chance but it's higher than the guy with one ticket.

It's marginally higher, breh.

Odds of winning the Powerball are 1 in 292,201,338 chance. That's a 0.000000342% chance of winning.

If you buy 10 tickets, you have a 10 in 292,201,338 chance. That's a 0.00000342% chance of winning.

To put that into perspective, you have a 1 in 900,000 chance of being struck by lightning this year. That's a 0.0001% chance of being struck!

In other words, you're more likely to be struck by lightning than you are to win the Powerball.

In other words, you'd have to spend $600 on Powerball tickets just to have the same odds as being struck by lightning! :francis:

Its worth it on Mega Millions to spend the extra dollar because you can go from a second prize of 1 million into 5 million but Powerball your second prize does from 1 million to 2 million tops.
