brad44 0 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Of course I did. I love -EV investments. I will give away 10 random WPT or WSOP prize packages if I win........Power ball is not a -ev investment, 340 million to win odds to win with a $1 ticket 1/146milThe above of course assumes there is only 1 winner.

turd ferguson 1 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Currently my bankroll can't support buying a lottery ticket because of some really bad beats. I'm looking for a backer. Anybody interested? PM me. Link to post Share on other sites

HoosierAlum 0 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Of course I did. I love -EV investments. I will give away 10 random WPT or WSOP prize packages if I win........Power ball is not a -ev investment, 340 million to win odds to win with a $1 ticket 1/146milThe above of course assumes there is only 1 winner.This is assuming there is only 1 winner, no taxes, and that they don't take away a large chunk when you choose a lump sum....I've seen the calculations done before, I think it has to get a little higher than 340 mil to be +EV.

24fanatics 0 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Here are some cool facts from CNN's website about the odds of winning the powerball jackpot...If you have to drive 10 miles to buy a lottery ticket, you are about 16 times more likely to get killed in a car crash on your way to buy the ticket than you are to win the Powerball jackpot. If you buy 50 tickets a week, the odds are that you would win once every 30,000 years.Let's say you have one friend in Canada, and you put everybody in Canada's name on pieces of paper, and put them in a giant hat and draw one out at random. You are 2 1/2 times more likely to pick your one friend's name than you are to win the Powerball jackpot if you buy a single ticket.Let's say that every time you drive a mile, you buy a Powerball ticket. Well, then you'll have to drive an average distance of 167 round trips to the moon before you win the Powerball jackpot.Odds of winning the Powerball are similar to trying to find one specific grain of sand in an entire bucket -- about 120 million to 1.You are 20,000 times more likely to die in a plane crash.You are 114 times more likely to be killed by a dog.Having said all that...Of course I'm in for $20.
