I was not aware that lotteries started giving out cash prizes higher than $1.6 billion. You could buy a small country with that kind of money.
>Americans are so cucked that they would be taxed 90% if they win their "lottery"
How quickly would the government take that money from you after you won?

Roughly taking non-jackpot winning options into account, there needs to be a jackpot of at least $1 billion if you're assuming no one else is playing. Seeing as how there was about an 80% chance of a winner being picked this time, you'd need to double that jackpot again to $2 billion before it would be financially worthwhile to buy a lottery ticket. Go cuck yourselves on the idiot tax niggers.

This, not sure why people feel the need to buy a ticket when it's 900 mil instead of 500 mil. 500 mil vs 900 mil means nothing to normal people, they're just numbers, you can't comprehend that amount of money and what you can buy with it.

Failed math, did we? The original sum gets cut in half, then the half you have is itself cut in half. You're left with 25% at the end.
