    At $1 a piece, it's a bargain of the century.

    "The odds of winning the jackpot are about one in 176 million, according to the lottery organizers."

    So, each ticket should worth more than $2

    At $1/tic, it's a +EV bet.

    Never played the lotto..I'm guessing you pick 6 numbers ranging from 1-99 and all 6 have to match?

    With all the people buying tickets, its unlikely, but there's actually value at 355 million with 1 in 176 million odds, if there's no split pot

    "sorry, no analysis"

    Anyone have an estimate of what it could potentially be next drawing if someone doesn't hit it this time?
