In Florida, you can keep your identity private and still claim the money.

The odds of winning are slim. For the Mega Millions, they're 1 in 302,575,350. For Powerball, the odds are 1 in 292,201,338. You will have 5 chances over 1 chance- but each ticket is the same odds. Your odds don't go up by buying more tickets. |

But 1 ticket vs 10 doesn't really increase your odds. I amazes me that people still don't understand probability and odds in very simple forms. But 1 ticket. Save the rest for something else.

Can I win, please? I never win anything like this. It's my turn!
Now if I only had a dollar to play it, FTR, I stopped playing the lottery years ago because of never winning!

I meeaaaann... TECHNICALLY, it does increase your odds. The increased odds are still so infinitesimal, it doesn't really matter, though.

Give me your opinion ?
Do you think it is best to buy 10 $1 tickets or 1 ticket for $ 10 that has 10 sets of numbers on it.
There are a lot of people that are superstitious about this!

They are insane. If it has not worked yet, no reason to be superstitious.
