700 Million power ball...would you risk....

Question

Lets say you have 100 Million cash in your bank account.

Would you call the Lotto officials and say you want to buy every number combination possible. If my numbers are right with a 1 in 292.2 million of getting the right number combination it would take 584.4 million to buy every combination. I would also assume that a portion of that goes into the pot climbing the total well over 1B.

The big question...(if you had that money of course)... Would you take the chance on buying every number combination...

If you say yes...would you try to pick 1 number that wouldn't hit and skip every ticket that included that number.... how far would you go with leaving numbers off so you decrease the amount spent.....

Main- Lotto officials said you can make the deal as they have a computer program that buys everything in no time- escrow the money and you&#x27;re guaranteed to win.

nature1970 · Answer

the math doesn&#x27;t add up 69 balls then 68 then 67 then 66 then 65 then 26 so 69 *68*67*66*65*26 = over than 30, billion possible combinations.it just statsitistics its worth a 2.00 bet but every number spread is a losing proposition.

mainman11111 · Answer

GOGGLE LOTTO SCANDAL.

BigGame90 · Answer

So if it&#x27;s over 30 billion in getting the one right combination....should the odds of hitting be 1 in over 30 billion? Not 292.2 million like the lotto claims?

nature1970 · Answer

yes .math is math69 numbers then 68 numbers then 67 numbers then 66 numbers then 65 numbers with 26 power ball numbers will cover the spread of 12345 1 to 65 66 67 68 69 26the math states 69 times 68 times 67 times 66 times 65 times 26= over 30 billion to 1 the lottery is hit due to when 30 billion tickets are sold through out the nation over a period 5-10 drawings the probability becomes 1 to 1 its gaming theory but chris fergusen probably explain it a lot better.at one time it was 212 million but their were a lot less numbers. the commission just needs to update its website.

If you have a billion dollars why bother taking this risk?Also, factor in the amount taxes will take away...

SportsFan9698 · Answer

Nobody with that kind of cash is that stupid

If you won, and you were the only winner you would take home about 250MM after taxes. And if you have to share it with another winner much less. Dumbest waste of cash - guaranteed

Nature...Do you think that 1 to 292.2 million is misleading (it&#x27;s on their website)... Why don&#x27;t they say its 1 in 30billion?

nature1970 · Answer

yes if that is what the site states it should be updated but its the way it is the way it fkn is .it is assumed that ppl realize that the chances of winning are slimhowever this is a valid pointwhere on earth is there any chance to invest 2.00 last time I bought one it was a buck but inflation I guessthat one could return nearly 1 billion in less than three days.in this scheme someone has a chance of making 2.00 investment into a nearly 1 billion return.

nature1970 · Answer

the math is 67 to the fifth power *26 I use fuzzy math so little over 1 in 30 billion.

the same math states a little over 2 million possible combinations in ncaa 64 team tourney .

it says their are 69 numbers to determine the first then 68 numbers to determine the second then 67 remaining numbers to determine the third then 66 remaining numbers to dermine the fourth finally 65 remaining numbers give you the fifth 69+68+67+66+65 = 67 then raised to the fifth power gives a little over a billion then times 26 gives a little over 30 billion better calculators could give an exact number but where 5 billion humans forms I just round it to 30 billion with billion a significant didgit it just fuzzy math.

nature1970 · Answer

the formula( (a&#x2B;e)/5 to the fifth power) gives you the white combination five ball then times the possible red ball gives this fuzzy answer the exact answer is 35,064,160,560 to 1 I feel like c3po calculating a asteroid belt now thank you.

nature1970 · Answer

okay I stand corrected the first number can be 1 but it cant be over 65 like wise second number can be 2 but not over 66 ect.so the number is 65 times 64 times 63 times 62 times 61 times 26 powerball numbers the exact combinations are 27,917,287,424

around 28 billion to one.

Why risk the money on an unsure bet?For that kind of coin, just rig the system in your favor like this guy did. Just don&#x27;t get caught! https://www.engadget.com/2015/12/19/lotto-hack/

SportsFan9698 · Answer

.This story makes no sense to me.  Lottery tickets are sold before the drawing.  Sales are stopped well before the drawing.  How could any software tap any computer to know the winning numbers before the drawing takes place?

nature1970 · Answer

really? . I believe if Scientific America encryption is tough but nothing is fool proof.can it be done yeswill it be done undetected no.the steps taken to insure that part of the process integrity makes langley jealous.

nature1970 · Answer

the only way to get to 292.2 million is to handicap the numbers to 33  number spread. and the 26 number red ball.first number 1-33 second number 2 to 34 third number 13 to 46 fouth number 36-69 fifth number 36-69 and every powerball number but you are taking a huge risk doing so.

SwishSwish1234 · Answer

If you had 100 million you wouldn&#x27;t be betting the power ball, You&#x27;d be in a limo somewhere getting a rim job from two Filipino hotties.

BigGame90 · Answer

If the odds are over 30 billion to 1 to pick the right set of numbers....do you think the Lotto should change their odds of 1 in 292.2 million?   Is the deceitful to the public on the true odds?

beldar123 · Answer

Some persons who enjoy statistics (they do really exist) will come up &#xD;&#xA;with odds of 1 in 17 billion for the jackpot prize. Remember that you &#xD;&#xA;don&#x27;t need to match the numbers in exact order - we use combinations to &#xD;&#xA;determine the probabilities for the first five white balls and not &#xD;&#xA;permutations.
