Half-a-Billion-DOLLARS ! ! !

I think 5 numbers was $ 250,000.

I wonder with the amount of numbers to chose from (52 and 48), how many different combinations of numbers can that produce? Is it less than 500 million.

Of course it would a while to fill out all the pick your number forms.

Or better yet, purchase 400 million quick picks and hope you turn a profit of more then two dollars

Unlike other states, the 5 out of 6 Prize for MegaMillions in California is parimutual with a carryover. Many states have this fixed at 200K or 250K. When lotto-fever hits, these 5 out of 6 jackpots can get huge. Two drawings ago there were 21 people who hit 5 out of 6. This was quite an anomaly. Each player got about 50K. Last night there were 9 5 out of 6 winners...that paid about 300K each. If there had only been one, it would have been 2.7 Million.

To pick all the numbers for MegaMillions would cost a cool $175,711,536. This is now a +EV opportunity, so I encougage everyone to invest your life savings in tickets.

The Singer system says to increase your bets when losing. Oh wait that's Video Poker!

I believe their are 176 million combinations. After the government gets done "swiping" their share you will end up with something like $240 million IF and I mean IF you would hold the only winning combination!

I think the tally is about $315 mil after US, gets his "fair share".

never bought these type tickets before.

How many numbers do you pick/choose?
Is there like a power-ball thingee?

Ironically its people like you that always win

But is this lottery fair and random?? If only someone could design some software to find out!

So I wonder if Bank of America will a large loan for a couple of days

For kiddo, It like powerball you pick 5 numbers out of 52 and then 1 number (mega ball) out of 48. I might be a little off on the numbers availible

give me a large loan
