What about the powerball draw tonight? It's at 245 million now and you have to pick 5 #s plus the two other power play #s

So If I was an evil millionaire with 25.8 Million dollars and I purchased 25.8 Million tickets with a 1 in 1 chance of winning a jackpot of say, 51.6 Million, I would win $25.8 million back twice!

@MiekWave people actually did this; the jackpot was larger than the number of tickets so they tried to buy all possible combinations, however, they ran out of time. they still did manage to get the winning ticket though.

Can't win if you don't play. Someone will eventually win. It happens all the time. :-)

What is probability of you winning lotto in Texas and while going to collect your prize you are struck by lightning?

@IsraeliXdude well, those are independent events, so you would multiply the individual probabilities together
