435 million Powerball up for grabs this Saturday

The lotto is for poor people. lmao @ playing that shit.
So how many tickets you buying? Four? Five?

If you want to keep up your gimmick image, you don't have to tell everyone. You can just tell me.
 
Okay, I will play. And I will win. And when I do, I will give everyone in this thread $10,000.

It's funny. I always buy the winning ticket, but when I go to redeem it, the lotto people tell me I'm wrong.

the chance of winning the powerball is 1 in 292 million

so anytime it goes above 292 million, it makes sense to buy a ticket

lol @ poor people who cant into math

This isn't true because tickets cost $2. However, even at $584 mil, it doesn't make sense because your chances of having to split the top prize increases as the jackpot increases and more people buy tickets. The math on it has to account for the after tax winnings as well as probability of splitting, which is a difficult calculation when the jackpot gets theoretically high enough. There should theoretically never be a point where the return on invest of a $2 ticket. It's tough to do the math on this because you have to forecast how many tickets will be bought at jackpot levels that have never been reached.
 
If nobody wins tonight it will go up to around 600 million
