There was a near winner last drawing in our area, with everything except the bonus number. It was still worth $1.1 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 With that kind of bread it'd be possible to have a conversation with Elon about buying some private shares of Space-X. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very tempted to do so, but it seems overly wasteful when you could use the money to make significant positive changes in other people's lives. But I guess that could be said about any strictly unnecessary expenditures, even if on a much smaller scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grep Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I wrote a random number generator once, just to see how many 'tickets' it would take to hit a particular set of powerball numbers + the bonus. First run : about 12.500 sets of numbers in I got an exact hit. Second run : something like 37 million combinations before I got the exact hit. Third run, just over 2.5 million combinations before I got the hit. So yeah.... it's a tough game to guess correctly. As simple as it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
