I just watched a little segment on it on nightline. Odds increase if you buy a lot more tickets, but not by as much as would make that much of difference. Lump sum would be about 320 million (est). Quoting: Isis One This is not true. Buying more tickets only increase your chances of winning, it doesn't change the odds. |

I would even keep my teaching job and work the remaining 15 yrs I have til I retire. That's why I will never win. |

notinfallible User ID: 27177694 United States 11/28/2012 05:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So they are racking in about $75,600,000 in the course of a day......it would be more, but you can only buy powerball tickets between, 6am and 8pm....that also isn't set in stone, varies from state to state. If that is the average ticket sales for each of the four days (sun,mon,tue,wed) we arrive at $302,400,000 approximately. That's only four days of ticket sales, and it doesn't take into account people using the powerplay option. That's almost a half-billion in tickets sales in only four days. I wonder how much the total would be if we calculated the rest of the tickets sales since the last time somebody won? Don't think for a second that these people actually use the excess money they make for our benifit.... They likely use it against us, either that or as toilet paper.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28622847 I was thinking a 90 year old man would win. No....just me.....cause you can't win if you don't buy a ticket. two dollars of fiat money for a chance to get enough to buy some real money!!!
