You guys can keep your Tesla's. Pay for the knee surgery I need and we can call it even.

"For some context, Taylor Swift's net worth is reportedly around $300 million. If you win the Mega Millions, you could take home $904 million and be almost three times as rich as her with absolutely none of the work. Are you familiar wit the Commonwealth of Dominica, a small island country in the West Indies? Their 2017 GDP was $562 million. You could literally be almost twice as rich as an entire country. Even if you only won the Powerball jackpot and had to settle for the $248 million cash value payout, like a peasant, you could still be worth 0.82 Taylor Swifts and finally afford a comfortable two-bedroom in San Francisco."

Lol

Has anyone done an expected value calculation on this? Is it actually positive, even with the odds on splitting?

Odds on splitting depend on how many people buy tickets, which we can only estimate.

TwntyOneTwlv · Oct 20, 2018

Imagine. You could buy every politician in Congress off, and force them to not be ghouls. And then you'd still have hundreds of millions of dollars, because they're cheap as fuck to buy off.

DeadlyParasite · Oct 20, 2018

I'd buy BioWare back from EA and set them free with that kind of money.

TopherDL · Oct 20, 2018

Grym · Oct 20, 2018

So for when I win, what is the top rated Trust/Estate/LLC law firm in the US?

H.Protagonist · Oct 20, 2018

Could make a lot of dream games come true with that kind of dough. A Faxanadu remake even!

lazygecko · Oct 20, 2018

Would you take the money even if there was a significant statistical likelihood that you'd end up depressed and have your whole extended family and social circle become irrepairably toxic?

Meauxse · Oct 20, 2018

Lump sum people. Take the lump sum.

Pretendo Switch · Oct 20, 2018

Anthony Mooch · Oct 20, 2018

One play, jackpot only, splitting ignored, expected value is positive. Unless I did it wrong, it's just over $4.

Those are some crazy numbers. WTF?! O.o

I think the EuroLotto Jackpot is also at 90 Million € or something, which looks funny in comparison.
