"USA"-NEW YORK -OVER 1.3 billion .... how many tickets ...

[WAM]

Asking when the dates for the drawing are I could maybe understand ,but for people asking how much a ticket cost that's a little hard to believe (that much ,people should know ) ! So even for the people who never bought e/o knows its 1 for mega and 2$ for power , I was very suprised when guys were asking what's the cost of the ticket is !? (Or maybe I'm wrong and its not like that ?)

I thought they were both $2. Thanks for the education. Now, I'll never buy a Powerball ticket again, it's a ripoff! Mega here we come!

No thanks. When it's all said and done my net worth will be $2+ more than all of you.

Redbull, Coralsnake bought a Mega ticket, not a PB. So that's why you're net worth is only $1 more than his ($2-1=$1)

His net worth doesn't become $2 higher than everyone else just because he didn't buy a ticket. It just stays the same while others' goes down by $2.

Which will result in his net worth being $2 higher than the others, without having made any money. What's so complicated about that?

Unless we all have the same net worth. That's around the same chance as winning the lottery.
But seriously, a joke is a joke.

If you're that worried about your net worth going down $2 just cut back somewhere else $2 this week.

Which is in line with what I said.

I was responding to the title of the thread which references PB.

I'm proud to be part of the losers who don't know the ticket prices and the drawing dates.

They say that Yankel Miller once saw someone purchase a lottery ticket so he told the guy to put a bag on his hat as his chances of a bird leaving a deposit on his hat are way higher than his odds at winning the lottery.

Love the shouts from the math crowd. To me buying a lotto ticket is as irrational as voting for president (and believing your single vote might matter). More so when you consider it costs a small amount of money.
