If the Powerball Winner of 1.3 Billion Gives Every American 4.4 Million Poverty Ends

**Gonz312** · 01-12-16, 01:36 PM

Aside from the horrible math, you give everyone 4.4 mil and the majority will be back in poverty after 6 months anyway.

Did anyone see Mark Cuban's remarks.... on what a person should do if they won the jackpot?

Cuban doesn't trust anyone who wins it... he said automatically you take the 29 year payment plan. DO NOT TAKE LUMP SUM.

He also gave more tips. But it was hilarious.

Cuban: More than likely someone will blow the entire lump sum within 4 years.

How the fuk is that even possible?

These lotteries are a complete waste of time, the probability of winning is so low there is really no point. Better off laying a 20 team parlay, get closer to +EV odds than any lottery.

**Rich Boy** · 01-12-16, 06:09 PM

Heres some math for you...

If the odds of winning are 1 in 292 million = 3.42 E-9

That means you would have to bet 202.39 million times just to have a 50/50 chance of winning.

Winning this lottery is equivalent to a 28 team parlay (assuming 50% win probability)

What's the average life expectancy of the average American?
The older you get the more important the 29 year annuity comes into play.
Cuban is right. I would blow through 4.4 miles in a couple years on strippers, blow & of course gambling.

So playing the lottery after the age of 57 is -ev

Just got my random tickets and they all had this combo....gotta be a winner.

**mynameismud** · 01-13-16, 04:43 PM

there are going to be be multiple jackpot winners tonight. wouldnt be surprised if it was split 3 ways. probably someone in california and or new york and then some small shit town in the middle of nowhere.

**Ra77er** · 01-13-16, 04:48 PM

Oh yea there will certainly be multiple winners, probably turnout like some bruce almighty deal where all of buffalo wins

i dont mean a work group lottery club, i mean several single winning tickets. if there are 3 winning tickets all from lottery clubs, that would be cool...that would really be spreading the wealth. there could be over 100 people splitting this thing in that case

**TheSideBet** · 01-13-16, 04:54 PM

OP please do not vote in the upcoming election. It's this type of belief system that get the idiots we have in office today there to begin with.

**Mr KLC** · 01-13-16, 04:57 PM

No matter what the amount, if I win tonight, poverty will have to continue.

**Mr KLC** · 01-13-16, 05:13 PM

Took Astros award winners or HOF'ers

5 - Jeff Bagwell
7 - Craig Biggio
33 - Mike Scott
34 - Nolan Ryan
60 - Dallas Keuchel

Powerball
1 - Carlos Correa

**mikejamm** · 01-13-16, 08:45 PM

I wonder if this dumb fuk can even tie his own shoes, or does he have the special village idiot velcro ones? First a 9K air bet and then claims his idiotic math will solve poverty.

I can't believe real Canadians haven't kicked your dumb ass outta the country yet, you make former mayor crack head Rob Ford look like a genius!

Best boss ever bought nurse winning Powerball ticket

**Jayvegas420** · 01-15-16, 01:26 PM

So if they don't accept the annuity, each ticket is essentially worth 130 mil?

Ironically, if you gave everyone $4.4 million, then that might be the best you could do given that hyper-inflation would completely destroy the economy.
