What Would You do if You WON?
By Longjumping-Meal-286+22 Powerball and mega millions
Is it worth is to buy a powerball or mega millions ticket or am I just wasting my time?? I’ve been seeing people saying don’t even waste your time because the odds of winning are low and to just buy state lottery tickets. I’ve been buying them for a year now and the most I’ve won is $14. I’ve recently stopped trying with PB and MM and just have just buying state lottery tickets. Thoughts?

+14 @micawberesque The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338. Here's what that means: there are a total of 292,201,338 combination of numbers. When you buy a ticket, you now have covered just one of those 292,201,338 combinations. There are 292,201,337 other combinations. Even if you bought a million tickets, you would only have a 1 in 292 chance of winning (.3425%).
+11 @Tough_Arm_2454 I quit mm at $5 per chance. I buy pb... one chance of my regular numbers and one quick pick. I miss cash/lucky for life. I play Pennsylvania Match 6, 3 chances for $2. Jackpot starts at $500,000. I've seen it grow to $7M.
