Pretty sure if I win the big lottery tonight, this is the place I'm buying. Y'all are all invited...

This place is ridiculously expensive, but man that looks just about perfect.

What do you think Jeff's commission on that saw would be?

A reduced percentage, a set fee, or a few truck loads of weed (since it's colorado).

Ok. Let me get my spreadsheet started!

700+ cows grazing
X big game hunts
No real guided fishing
Perhaps a few weddings in the summer

I don't think this is going to work very well for $46mm!

Question about odds: wouldn't one want to play this thing the forst time out of the gate after a big win?

Seems like your odds of winning a much smaller jackpot are better than way. In other words, I'd be more apt to play a game where I have a 50% chance of winning 100 bucks over a 10% chance of winning $1000.

I don't play the litter so I have no clue how it works.

Your odds of winning are exactly the same regardless of the size of the jackpot. It's just the potential winnings that increase. Playing immediately after a large jackpot is won would give you the same odds, but for winning a much smaller prize.

This! Odds are 1 in 302 million for every mega millions draw. So with a prize this big you could buy every combination and pay taxes and come out ahead. You just have to hope no one else gets a winning number either because once you start splitting the pot your out money.

I heard today that the odds of winning the mega and power ball are 1 in 88 quadrillion. That's 15 zeroes.

Ah...yeah. Somehow I got in my head your odds were dependent on the number of people entering but that's not true. I guess what does change is my odds of having to share it if I win. Sorry....odds and statistics are not my strong suit.

So all I need to do is get 302 million dollars and hope no one else hits it. Sweet.

What does change as it goes up and people enter is your odds of being the ONLY jackpot winner decrease. With these large jackpots you get so many people buying and your odds of winning the jackpot are actually better than your odds of not matching someone else's ticket. And that's not exaggeration, I did the math.

Doesn't work like that. Also I'm pretty sure statistically 10% for 1,000 is the better play here.

Also, fun fact since we are talking statistics, if you ignore potential for split jackpots, the mega millions is now about at a point where it starts making statistical sense to buy a ticket. Somewhere between 1.6B and 1.7B is where the expected value of a ticket breaks $2.

Buy multiple tickets of the same number so you get more of the jackpot.

A lady once had a dream to buy a 2nd ticket for the lotto. She won and got 2/3rds of the pot instead of just half.

Imagine the meltdown 2 hours west with a 1.6B Texags group buy win. I seem to recall over half of the winners have come from Pennsylvania. Maybe wrong, not important enough to look up...

I put one of those together at work occasionally. It's a pain in the arse. And that's with everyone in one building and what I consider a pretty good system in place.

It drives home the futility of playing when you buy $250 in tickets and win $20-40.

I'd buy a huge property out west and reintroduce native grasses and grow a huge buffalo herd.

Me too, and then I'd roller skate in it.
