USA lottery hitting another record
10/19/2018 at 3:32 PM

Mega Millions lottery in USA for tonight jumped to one billion dollars. If you bought your ticket in North Dakota, win, and take cash, it will be about $400 million. 30 year annuity would be $730 million.
Odds of winning = 1 in about 260 million.
Lotto Max has better odds and no tax.

I don’t want to be hit by lightning 4 times or catch the flesh eating virus 45 times, but counting my 4000 Academy Awards would be fun.

Oh, what? I thought we were talking about things that were more likely than winning the lottery.

Sorry

Not stuck. 60 million is the cap. Then they keep adding individual millions. Theoretically 54 people could win at least 1 million this week

According to CBC news, odds of hitting all 6 numbers is 1 in 302.5 million. Yikes, I won’t hold my breath
