US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
Tickets bought online. Lot of betting online. Sports betting. Trifecta stuff hundreds of bets. Bet big play big. Money is already being spent. Online. See a lot of empty stores late. Sports is entertainment. Lotto is entertainment. Yeah I agree with one guy, Powerball is big.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I know the dictionary definition of gambling but I don't see buying a lottery ticket as a risk, more like entertainment and a wish to win. Buying in st a casino or race track or sports book for a few yards is taking a risk.

$167 million Powerball lottery winner arrested a THIRD TIME after burglarizing home for $12kReply
I knew this redneck was gonna be a constant source of entertainment when he showed up in my backyard (St Pete Beach) 2 days after winning and assaulted a police officer. Kate, maybe you should see if he'll hire you to write his memoirs ala Abraham Shakespeare- he deserves to be under the slab of a house. Gotta get his first name right first though...it's Shannon.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I'm trying not to @frustrated. I do look at it as my entertainment for the week. I'm getting old so I know longer rip and run the streets. So it's definitely cheaper then being out and about. Thanks for the helpful advice. Good luck! And have a fantastic day!

is it luckier to buy tickets on the rich side of town?Reply

Oklahoma couple checked forgotten Powerball lottery ticket, found out they won $1 millionReply
I agree about people taking the lottery way too seriously. Misplacing a lottery ticket has zero to do with the false inflated sense of importance of being a serious lottery player. People have lives and many do not focus or think about winning the lottery 24/7. They play for entertainment purposes only. At the end of your life, your regret will not be I did not focus on playing the lottery enough. Touch grass and most people will feel better.

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
So we can see where the confusion comes from... original post is about odds, but title says probability... Probability of buying N tickets for X possible combinations is ALWAYS N in X or N out of X. in probability X is the possible combos and cannot be reduced, your probability with 2 tickets of a pick 2 is ALWAYS 2 in 100, buy 5 tickets, it is 5 out of 100. The Odds are different, you can express those as (N-X) to (N), such as pick 2 with one ticket being 99 to 1 odds, with 5 tickets yo
