This want your run of the mill lottery plan, it was the one plan to rule them all.
However, after doing a little research, I realized my idea was a little off.
The idea I had was to buy enough tickets with one of all the possible combinations of numbers. That's 5 balls drawn ranging from numbers 1 to 59, and then added on the powerball, which can be anywhere from 1 to 35.
I'm no mathematician, and right now it's starting to make my brain hurt just thinking about them.
But the idea I had was to buy one of each of those tickets, meaning that you would defiantly win something, since you would have every single number combination possible. The problem, is in order to do this (with or without power play) you would already have to be a millionaire, and be willing to spend A LOT of time and money on this. It would only be worth it if the jackpot was far more than you would spend paying for the tickets.
But there are also the smaller prizes. . . Those would help too.
Anyway, that's just what I thought about while driving home. Silly me.
Trust me, this was better than my idea of trying to talk about the definition of "stupid."
Well, the fire trucks, cop cars, and ambulances outside have caught my eye, I hope nothing bad happened. Well. See you tomorrow.
Rio's butt, right in front of my face.
He's flattered.
And snuggly.
Wut? You go from talking bout Dr pepper to powerball.
ReplyDeletei make odd leaps in conversation, i usually try to trace them back.
Deletei still want that Dr. Pepper slushie.
You would need 195,249,054 tickets to cover every possible number combination with the powerball. Might be prohibitively expensive indeed - at $3 per ticket, that's about $600,000,000, which is more than the current jackpot.
ReplyDeleteUnless by some miracle you are already a millionaire of over 600,000,000 and the jackpot is over that as well, which has only happened twice, I think.
