Anyone here in an anonymous state?
Or at least a low/no tax state? So those in a low/no tax state don't have to pay extra taxes to a high tax state?

Buying one ticket for a group pools the “מזל" of all participants.

I would like to participant as well. Please let me know what I need to do. Thanks!

why is the jackpot not going up based on ticket purchases?

The sales are already factored in.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Depends on the amount of tickets sold but more around 39% (10/19 drawing).
I just found a new supply of forks!

Is that because assumption of duplicates?

Based on picking random numbers.

Based on picking random numbers.

Assuming 300m tickets it's 37% (and 26% multiple winners)
Assuming 400m tickets it's 27% (and 38% multiple winners)
Assuming 500m tickets it's 19% (and 49% multiple winners)
Assuming 600m tickets it's 14% (and 59% multiple winners)
Assuming 700m tickets it's 10% (and 67% multiple winners)

I'd guess roughly 5-600m tickets will be sold, so it's pretty likely that they'll be multiple winners and very unlikely that no one will win

At what point is it worthwhile to just buy one of each possibility? Side note, looking for an investor to invest a few hundred million. Gaurenteed payout. Lol obviously a duplicate winner would mess that over, but cool concept.
Memories last forever, make them while you can.

buying one of each would cost approximately $604 million
