QUOTE (impala454 @ Mar 6 2007, 05:16 PM) how about this math $370,000,000 my chances of winning = 1 in 175,711,579 your chances of winning = 0 perhaps you'd miss the $1. or perhaps you could tell us where that $1 could be spent otherwise, that makes a large impact on your life. it doesn't really impact my financial success to blow $1 per week. especially considering the possible (however improbable) impact that $1 could have on me, and lots of my closest friends & family for the rest of their lives, and every generation that comes after all of those people. besides the fact that the $1 also goes into state funds for education. and besides the fact that every now and then, i win my $2-7 back from matching 3 numbers or the mega ball. the odds of winning $2 are 1 in 40, and on up from there. Only 1 in 175 million? Seems a bit high, as in it should be closer to 1 in a billion. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?

What are the odds to win the $2 prize by just matching 1 of the 46?
