Who /powerball/ here?

Bought 50$ worth.

Gonna get my fucking ultimate NEETBUX.

i literally would but I just feel embarrassed by the idea of buying tickets at the convenience store when I never do that. The same guys work there so they'd know I'm just hopping on the powerball train like a fucking noob faggot.

The odds are 1:292000000. So yeah, not very good. But it's $2. That's not even enough for a shot of cheap booze.

At this point, it'd be closer to 700 mil if not more, even after taxes.
>>
>>25731212
>moron tax

True, but not so much when you only play when the jackpot is this high.

The odds of winning are around 1:175 million. If you play when the jackpot is 100 million dollars then each ticket is only worth around $0.57 but you pay $2. Right now with the 1.5 billion jackpot they are worth around $8.50
>>
>>25731466
Depends on your locality. NYC it is less than 550mil. Cali, somehow, is almost 700.
>>
>>25731493
it's odd, the lottery is the one thing this state doesn't tax to oblivion
>>
>>25731485
They altered the odds recently to get bigger jackpots because they wanted billion dollar jackpots to cause a frenzy. It's more like 1 in 290 million.
>>
>>25731485

The odds are actually close to 1 in 300 million.

The only reason it is so high is because they increased the number pool, essentially because they know people will flip their shit over massive numbers and sales will increase.
>>

It isn't about whether or not it's sensible, it's parroting the SAME fucking phrase constantly "le stupid tax". Reddit and youtubers are under the same class of moronic normies that say whatever it takes to get upboats. We can't have a single powerball thread without 50 pompous fedoras yelling "stupid tax!" It's like you don't have a mind of your own.

redditors think that they are so intelligent because all their opinions are 100% logical and sensible.
however, they completely ignore the fact that people are not completely logical beings, and you shouldn't let that influence every fucking decision you make, unless you want to have no fun in life
yeah, I might realize something isn't logical, but I might do it anyways because it seems like fun to indulge in

You'll never win the fucking powerball, just play the local stuff with rolling jackpots. You'll find stuff with 1:1,000,000 rather than fucking 1:200,000,000.

It won't payout like powerball, but 300k+ isn't chump change.

Why would the chance of winning change because more people play?

I'm not good with math but shouldn't the chance of winning stay the same - seeing how the number of numbers to pick from etc. stays the same?

what changes is the amount of money you'd be payed out - in case other people win too..

Why not? The potential reward matters. If there was a 90% chance of winning a punch in the face, you wouldn't play. If there was a 1% chance of becoming the god of the universe, you would play.

In a more rigorous way, you could conduct a cost-benefit analysis of how much money a lottery has to offer before it makes statistical sense to play. We're also quite a few hundred million dollars above the point at which it makes sense to play.

because your EV is significantly lower than any other form of non skilled gambling. show me the maths as to why it "makes sense" to play the lottery at it's current prize pool including tax

Winning the lottery would be the best way to unfuck my shit, unfortunately odds are it won't happen. I don't believe for a second that I'll actually win, but I will say that winning would more than make up for the fact that I'm 22 and a handholdless virgin.

>>25734034
If you could spend $1 for a 51% chance of winning $2, it would be worth it. That's because you'd would statistically stand to gain money (there is a positive EV).

What does it mean for powerball? Your chance of winning is 0.0000000342%. So how high does the potential prize have to be to have a positive EV? If you take a lump sump payment and also factor in the taxes, to get a positive EV you would need a jackpot prize of 1.4 billion dollars, which the current lottery exceeds.

The math actually works against you if there is a jackpot-split. If you factor that in the EV is no longer positive. Still, this is the best time there has ever been to play powerball.

>>
>>25735427
He is are right actually, since the likelihood of a split doesn't linearly increase with more people playing. So, you can look at the point at which its slope is lowest but the EV is still positive and that would be the sweet spot. Still, this is one of the better times to play, especially if you consider multiple people will pick the same wrong numbers, which effectively "lessens" the likelihood of splitting you would anticipate based on the number of people playing.

So did anyone in the country/world win? how do we know? will the jackpot rise further?
