jazzypaul Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 If you want to talk positive odds (what's in the pot is better than the odds against you), then it's proper to play the megaball at anything over $135 million. So, $220 million not only covers that, but comes pretty close to covering that AFTER TAXES even. Not a bad deal in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 You guys are crazy. The odds of winning one of those are beyond astronomical. Buying 5 or 50 or even 500 tickets won't even be enough to increase your odds measurably. You have a MUCH better chance of getting hit by lightening. Really.
