This is one of the few times where a lottery provides a positive expected value. I did not calculate the expected value but I am fairly certain that is above 100% especially since sales are expected to be below the number of unique combinations.Good luck,Jake

Between this jackpot and mega millions up to the same area those lottery machines in Texas must just be humming. Jackpot option is probably around $80 million so you could buy all 47,000,000 and still make a profit. That doesn't happen that often...especially in state lottery games!Brad Oh man, do you imagine how long it would take to fill out 47+ million game panels
