When its a GAZILLION dollars you'll play. When its just a few million, you dont bother. NOt enough I guess. You idiots are throwing your money away. Get a hooker, a bottle a Cuervo and you're sure to win! I have to wait in line to buy a fucking 12 pack because these fucknuts are spending $20 or $30 dollars with ALMOST a zero chance of winning. stupid redneck bastards.

I hate to break this to you, but the 12 pack you buy will be useless in the next few days too.

The odds of winning are approximately 175,000,000 to 1. Therefore, if the jackpot is at least $350 million, then a $2 ticket is a value play. Under any other circumstance, the lottery is a tax on the mathematically challenged.

Yup. I plunked down my $2 for the hell of it. At most I will buy in for $4 but that is my limit.

That's not entirely true -- you have to account for the odds of multiple winners and the reduction in the jackpot payout in a split. Yesterday, you had Arizona and Missouri both splitting the jackpot, making it a $290M payout which puts it closer to even money value (guesstimating that the smaller payouts would make up the difference.)

Sure, and the jackpot is taxed, but my point was it is a waste of money buying tickets unless the jackpot is huge. Spending $20 on a jackpot of $30 million is just stupid.

It's also a better value play than a 12 pack.

Depends on what kind of beer it is.

It beats most gas station beer.

I usually won't play unless it's at least in the $200-250 million range. Now I won't even get out of bed for less than $350 million.

Anybody win yet? I may have to play tomorrow. I'm mathematically-challenged.
