Yeah I just discovered this myself. I told the wife after the Sat drawing that there wasn't a winner. She said she needed to get a ticket for Monday's drawing. I said you have till weds then I looked it up. It's been some time since I bought a Powerball I have gotten Megamillions as it was the one getting huge payouts.

So, say there are 5000 locations to buy a Powerball ticket in Missouri and you buy your tickets in one of these locations (there are probably far more than 5k).

And let's say 20 locations per year sell a grand prize ticket (it's actually something like 15 locations over 20 years).

If there were no repeated locations, it would take 250 years for every store to sell a winning ticket.

And then you would just have to be the one in however many hundreds of tickets sold that day, within your 250 years of purchasing tickets.... and to reduce those odds, maybe go around another 10 times.

So, purchasing tickets for 2500 years should do it.

And with inflation, $1 billion would mean a winning prize of $12,389,727,737,754,483,346,649,365,463,695,360,000,000,000 if it takes all 2500 years.

I don't understand this way of looking at it. It's not an investment. It's blowing your money for entertainment (in this case, a glimmer of hope and "what if"). You dont need to constantly shit on everyone with this. The odds are right there on the front of the ticket for everyone to read.

Not this time, $7 though so better than nothing.
