Yup. Thats what my winnings would go to.

 

Not even one number matched between the 30 something quick picks my family bought.

 

Three winning tickets were sold, one in Maryland, one in Illinois and one on Kansas. If all the winners claim their prizes and take lump sums they will get $105 million after taxes -- not chump change by any means but not $656 million dollars either. I read too that over a billion tickets were sold in this game alone, so if you bought a ticket and didn't win you can be comforted in the fact that you are in the company of millions of other idiots who played and lost.

 

Hey now, we prefer mathematically challenged.

 

I saw on the news the expected cash value of a ticket (how much you could expect to win on average for your $1 ticket) was about $3 due to the number of people playing. So the average ticket paid $3. Statistically you could actually expect to make money on this lottery. That's pretty unusual of course, and it's an average so your 3 winners with a total of $640,000,000 are averaged in with all the people who won nothing. But I thought that was pretty cool, doesn't happen often. First time I've ever heard of the statistics of the lottery working in your favor if you bought a ticket.

 

Thread revival because it's up again with odds that are even more stacked against you winning the big jackpot! And I found this about last year's big mega million drawing which inspired this thread.
