Here's the part I don't understand about lotteries.
There are only 120,526,770 possible combinations of numbers in the PowerBall lottery. Once the cash payout of the jackpot exceeds $120,526,770 why not buy a lottery ticket with every number on it. You are guaranteed of winning (not only the jackpot, but also every other smaller prize, which is usually upwards of $600k). But, what about if someone has the same numbers? Well, if 100 million tickets are sold, there is only a 20% chance that 2 or more winning tickets will be sold. So, it's kinda like being the casino. You may lose, but odds are that you will win. I wonder why more millionaires don't do this? (However, I think that this may have something to do with the fact that I'm not a millionaire, yet.) |
