[quote:Ralph--a house dog:MV8yMDY0NDc2XzM0NzcxMzExXzIzQTM3MUQ3] 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. I would imagine it is done mostly on games that sell for $1 a ticket and only when they grow to a real big amount. [/quote]
Original Message
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.
