WAHHHH!!! I bombed out!

[Archae]

Bought 3 Powerball tickets.

All three bombed out.

[HarveyDarkey]

1. Surprised?

I bought none, same results.

[pinboy3niner]

2. Relatively, that makes you three bucks ahead

[fizzgig]

3. i got one number out of two tickets

i broke even for the day on my scratcher, tho

[Ron Obvious]

4. All of you buying Powerball Tickets

Have nearly the exact same chance of winning as I do, who didn't buy any...

[Duer 157099]

5. However, the difference between zero and not zero

are astronomically large. Infinite in fact. So that's another way to look at it.

[pinboy3niner]

6. Yeah, but some poor 99-percenter who plunked down a buck...

...may end up having the last laugh.

[Archae]

9. Actually it's two dollars.

[bluedigger]

7. Probably shouldn't have played the same number three times.

Just sayin'.

[TreasonousBastard]

8. Heh. But think about that for a second...

you buy one winning ticket and win, 300 million. Same if you bought three winning tickets (although you could give one of them to your kids).

But if you bought one ticket and someone else had the winner, too, you'd get half-- 150 mill.

But if you had three winning tickets, you'd get 3/4. or 225 mill.

the big but, though, is that it ain't gonna happen anyway.

10. Oh who needs a crumby 600.000.000 dollars ?
