Weasel_Turbine User ID: 14143765 United States 11/28/2012 09:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the odds are the same if you play this one as if you play any other time. 1 in about 175 million per ticket. And they do NOT change if someone else picks the same numbers. In theory 1 could win or 50 or 400 could all win and share the jackpot. Yes, there are about 300 million in the country but not all of them will play. IMO the lottery is a tax on those that don't understand statistics.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 28118197 United States 11/28/2012 09:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Let's put it this way.. There were 2 drawings held last week- nobody won it There were 2 drawings the previous week - nobody won it. So, that means if you had purchased every single ticket sold in 26 states for the last 4 drawings- you would still lose. So I'm not wasting my cash |

So, rush right out there and participate in the voluntary tax. Meanwhile, there's a fucking Communist in the White House because you're a tard. |
