When those exceedingly lucky people come forward to claim this week’s Powerball lottery jackpot, which swelled to $448 million on Wednesday, it’s hard not to think:
Somebody is winning these things, right?
It
could be me.
they tweaked the game rules last year, doubling the price of tickets to $2 to raise more revenue and create more eye-catching jackpots.
The odds of winning, however, remain infinitesimal: Powerball players,
for instance,
have a 1 in 175 million chance of winning.
You have
roughly the same chance of getting hit by lightning on your birthday.
THEN THERE ARE THE ODDS OF 1 in 10!

ReplyDeletePS... I can't buy Lotto here in Hawaii, but once I'm back on the Mainland, I will continue to drop $10 a week... my theory is "you can't win - if you're not in." :)
PPS... I was once only FIVE numbers away from having six in a row, so I know I can do it :)~
i need to focus... this week, yes i do...
