Old MacDonald  User ID: 22787734 Canada11/27/2012 10:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Lotto 6/49 has 13983816 possible outcomes. Can I buy 13983816 tickets to guarantee a win. If a ticket costs $3, I need 41.95 million dollars. If the Lotto is for 50 million, wouldn't it be worth the risk. Only risk would be if you had to share with other winners.

Then you don't have to have millions of smurfs out buying powerball tickets! |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 2849260 United States11/27/2012 11:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As far as getting the money to BUY the tickets goes, since the win is guaranteed I wouldn't think a banker would hesitate to loan the money. With winning being a done deal, the risk of them not getting their money back is pretty much nil. |

Don't kill my thread with lies. the total possible tickets that could be drawn is the equation 49*48*47*46*45*44=. this assumes a single pool of 49 balls. that comes to over 10 billion possible combos, if it is 6 different 49 ball pools, then it is 49^6, which is over 130 billion combos. either way, you dont stand any chance of recouping the investment. dont believe me, go ask the local banker to stake your "brilliant scheme". they will explain your massive level of fucktardery to you in a nice soothing tone, after enjoying a hearty belly laugh at your intellectual expense. the "odds" are not the same as the number of possible combos. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28147705 That might be true for the powerball, Lotto Max is about 13 million to 1. Pick a straight 7 out of 49 numbers. None of them have to be a power number. And yet theoreticaly you could do it but it would cost you 13 million tickets X $5 a ticket. 65 Million to win 50 million is a 15 million dollar losss. You could buy half the numbers and gamble that the other two numbers you get free will cover the rest you didn't buy. Odds say they would but you never know. You could wind up missing a handful of numbers and have the draw hit those you don't have. That would also suck. And sharing the pot with somebody else would result in a loss as well. |

No tax for winning any kind of prize in a registered lottery, charity raffle or contest. If you win a car in a bag of Cheetos or the Lion's Club car raffle you don't even have to pay on it. You don't pay at our casinos either. Whatever you win in this country you keep 100%. |

If you plan to make big sports bets or play $500 roulette spins you go do it in Canada. All the money you win is tax free. If you win you take every last fucking cent home with you. Win $10,000 on a offtrack bet in Vegas and they take half before you leave. Why would you fly there to leave with $5000 when you could have flown to Windsor and kept all 10 in Canada? |
| Ralph--a house dog User ID: 25802009 United States11/29/2012 09:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There are groups of people who do this occasionally. I believe there is software that prints out all the combinations. The problem of course is somebody else winning and the simple logistics of buying all those tickets.

You would have to be the only winner with those numbers - if one other person also has the same numbers, you lose millions. If multiple winners happen, you lose hundreds of millions. You can get bettor odds (without the heavy downside possibility) betting on other things. If it were a good bet, it would have been done many times... |
