For a paltry $3, you'd be stupid to not buy one ticket. Additional tickets don't really help your odds much, so buying lots of tickets is not really smart either.

A small chance is better than zero chance if the cost is not meaningful to you.

Blackpill time:
The US lottery is a measure of hopelessness in the US Economy
Normalfags play the lottery to live in a fantasy when they see no way of escaping their current circumstances.
This behavior increases the more they hate their life.

Fuck what JPOW said. A billion dollar jackpot means a record number of Americans are staring into threshold of the abyss and are trying to find any light they possibly can -- even if it's just a dream they know will never be real.

No, but when the jackpot is higher than a certain amount the value in buying a ticket increases... and its nearing the point where buying the ticket is profitable... the odds are 1:302,575,350 ... assuming $2 per ticket it costs $605,150,700 to guarantee a win... lump sum is nearing that price... minus taxes... if the jackpot reaches $1.5B+ it is profitable to buy every ticket combination if you are the sole winner... the only issue is you can't guarantee you're the sole winner

Buying more tickets does increase your odds, but considering you're dealing with odds like 1 to 302,500,000 you're not gaining a significant chance to win.

So say you spend $20 on tickets your odds are now 1 to 30,250,000. It is so incredibly unlikely even spending hundreds on tickets that it really is insignificant.

You're the smooth brained retard here, there are 302,575,350 total number combinations for Mega Millions tickets, it costs $2 per ticket... if you buy every single number combination possible it costs $605,150,700... you have a ticket for every possible number combination therefore guaranteeing you will win the jackpot.

It has nothing to do with probabilities dumb fuck, if you $605M to purchase every single possible combination that the numbers can be drawn in you are guaranteed to win the jackpot. That's a fact of reality.

When talking about lottery the draw order only matters in pick 3/pick 4 games where the ball numbers drawn are 0-9... when purchasing the ticket you have an option to "box" the numbers which lowers your payout but the order doesn't matter... or you can play "straight" which means the numbers need to be drawn in your exact order.

Draw order doesn't matter for the games such as Mega Millions/Powerball where the numbers go up to 70/69

Imagine being stupid enough to waste money on the fucking lottery. You will never win the jackpot. You have a greater chance of being struck by lightning while Tyrone is pounding you in the ass. Faggots.

I had a stats class years ago where we went over the odds of winning the lottery. Essentially you should never play anything less than 400 million because the expected value of the ticket is less than the ticket itself. At a billion dollars the expected value of the ticket is still negative but it's negative 80 cents so at least closer to zero.
tldr I'm gonna buy a bunch of quick picks tomorrow. Good luck

>For a paltry $3, you'd be stupid to not buy one ticket.
With this kind of life philosophy you'll spend your life wasting little sums over stupid things and it will adds up to a lot of money.

2 dollars isn't much but giving it away for a bet with terrible odds just so that you can get a cheap hopium high shows that you don't respect your money and therefore isn't cut to make it.

I was going to do a reddit write up about how the lottery is laughably bad when you consider the utility of money. But it would be coming from someone who gave $5k to online findoms in 2022 so far, so I'll let you all waste $10 on this lottery.

No seems to realize that the whole point of the lottery is a gram scheme of CERN and their ability to capture and execute time travelers
Why didn’t we hear about the future? Because some midwit cale back to tell himself the winning number, hence trapping the time traveler

I saw a movie with Bryan Cranston based on the old couple who figured out the math on the winfall lottery back then, the lottery commission knew about the math but didn't give a shit because it was still netting them millions even though the old couple and another group figured it out, they only phased out the game when an article about it came it because some attention whore blabbered about it.

Holy shit every mathematic probabilistic thread on /biz/ is the same. Retards can't stop arguing about the simplest of variations, but exactly the same retards in different threads say they are programmers netting $500K. How is this possible? I thought that developers know basic math.
