$700 million. I am in at that amount for the hell of it.
some of you sit here and say 'when it's this much, hell I'll throw in a few bucks'
As if a $150m, or hell even a $30m lottery isn't enough to want to play.

9 of us in the office already went in together and bought quite a few.

I'd probably do the obvious - pay off any outstanding debts. I would pay off my uncle's ophthalmology practice since he's nearing retirement and he's been incredibly kind and charitable to the entire family. For grins I'd probably buy a dozen or so old tractors and fix them up like new. Simple stuff...I guess.

I've been playing for 80 years and haven't won anything more than $7
I played 100 years and won one $10,000 prize.
I wouldn't even know where to start, or how to even set up accounts for amounts of money that large. I am assuming instead of writing you one big check you can have them wire the funds to different accounts. I don't think the local credit union would let me deposit that much money.
Only had to play just over 115,000 games and 1100 games to win the $1,000,000.
Which one of you is this
Holy ****! He and the guy from page 4 think alike!

Sorry Jimmy.
The simulator makes it seem impossible to win, yet people win several times a year! No way!
The chances of winning are 1 in however many hundred million. Say 70 million people play, that means there's a 1 in 4 or say 1 in 5 chance SOMEONE will win.

The dollar amounts on the simulator are pretty worthless, but I think the info on how often a specific individual would win the big jackpot is legit.
I WON A MILLION DOLLARS!!!!
It took 12,337.1 years and I only had to spend $2,566,120 on tickets! My net loss is $1,274,536.

I sorta feel like I should play my winning simulator numbers in the real powerball.

Play them 7 time on one ticket so you can split it with yourself.

Well, yes, it is exactly legit. Specfic being the operative word. But someone is going to win it. And they likely have played less than a 100 times. Not 246,359,000 times.

When I get back, pay for Hulk Hogan to come hang out for a weekend.
Hookers and blow. Probably part of the world tour, actually.

It's just about financially plausible for some rich schmuck to play one of all 292-ish million numbers combos just to say they won the lottery....of course they better hope nobody else picks the same winning combo.
This was mentioned last time the jackpot was really large. It would take them way to long to actually play the numbers before the drawing would occur.
If you all send me $2 I will run and random number generator between 1 and 175,000,000. If you guess the right number I will give you $500M

Absolutely.
Argument on another board....
Buy one ticket, you have 1:300M chance of winning (rounding)
Buy 2 tickets, you have 1:150m chance of winning.
Buy 3 tickets, 1:100m chance of winning
4 tickets, 1:50M chance
500 tickets, 1:600k chance
I say WRONG
if you buy one ticket, you have 1:300m chance, 2 tickets 2:300m chance, 3 tickets, 3:300m chance
Buy one ticket, you have 1:300M chance of winning (rounding)
Buy 2 tickets, you have 1:150m chance of winning.
Buy 3 tickets, 1:100m chance of winning
4 tickets, 1:50M chance
500 tickets, 1:600k chance

if you buy one ticket, you have 1:300m chance, 2 tickets 2:300m chance, 3 tickets, 3:300m chance
