The Jackpot has LandedReply
the best odds increase you get is buying your 1st ticket, it goes downhill from there.

Mega Millions lottery winner recounts epic winReply
The odds of winning the jackpot (5/5+1/49) = 1 : 175,711,536 The odds of matching (4/5+0/49) for $150 = 1 : 15,313 The odd of getting both at the same time equals 1 : 15,313 X 1 : 175,711,536 = 1 : 2,690,670,750,768 * *I think having more than one ticket should reduce those odds by the number of chances on those tickets.

Don't cut what's in your wallet in half in what can only be a vain attempt to cut the odds in half.

$330 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot nears record highReply
The number of possible combinations is how the odds are established to begin with. Every line of numbers played (one combination) reduces those odds by one combination. There are no fractions that magically take one more combination and reduce the odds by millions. The belief that there is sure sells a lot of tickets and systems though! But I do think I might use numbers extracted from 13, 516, 272 tonight! 13 51 6 27 2 ..... 1 35 16 27 2 .... darn still need a Mega number!

OMG, odds calculations do no express the NUMBER of combinations you've covered. The express the FRACTION of the combinations you've covered!

That would only be true if a different person holds each ticket. We are talking about one person holding all the tickets, so COLLECTIVELY the odds of 13 tickets are 13 in 175,711,536. There is really no way you can argue with that. You have covered 13 of the 175,711,536 possible combinations. So reduce the fraction. You do know that odds are simply a fraction, right?
