Brad Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 I don't think they have Power ball in Joisey. Quote
jazzypaul Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 If you want to talk positive odds (what's in the pot is better than the odds against you), then it's proper to play the megaball at anything over $135 million. So, $220 million not only covers that, but comes pretty close to covering that AFTER TAXES even. Not a bad deal in my book. Quote
PHILLYQ Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 I don't think they have Power ball in Joisey. ← You'd either have to go to Connecticut or southward to play- it's not in NY. Quote

Which I would agree with, for the most part. Quote

Guy Berger Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 You guys are crazy. The odds of winning one of those are beyond astronomical. Buying 5 or 50 or even 500 tickets won't even be enough to increase your odds measurably. You have a MUCH better chance of getting hit by lightening. Really. ← BUT... once the prize gets big enough, the expected value of a Powerball ticket might actually become positive. Guy Quote

His latest filing, which documents his financial records for the calendar year of 2004, shows that Gregg has assets between $2,697,000 and $9,430,000, mostly in an extensive stock and real estate portfolio.

Really. ← Not if you live in Jacksonville, Oregon! Figure out the odds on all these winners in one very small town! JACKSONVILLE, Ore. Someone has again struck it rich in an old Oregon Gold Rush town. The winner or winners of the largest jackpot in Powerball's history purchased their ticket at one of the two lottery retailers in Jacksonville, Oregon. At the J-Ville Tavern, which sold a multi-(m) million dollar winning ticket a few years ago, the owner hopes another customer has struck it rich. She says she hopes it's one of her regulars "who can really use it." The other lottery retailer, Ray's Food Place, sold one of four runner-up tickets purchased in Oregon _ worth a total of 850-thousand dollars. An employee says it belongs to a couple whom she describes as "so excited." She says the woman was "grinning from ear to ear" and the man was "pretty calm." Whichever store sold the 340 (m) million dollar jackpot-winning ticket gets 100-thousand dollars. http://www.kait8.com/Global/story.asp?S=4007843&nav=0jsh Quote
