Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I never understood how HIGHER figures caused people to buy MORE tickets. $50mil or $500mil is a LOT Of damn money. More than any of us could spend in a life time. Yet people scurry to buy tickets when your odds are about 100x lower of winning. If you're going to buy tickets buy when the figure is low... not high. Derp.

Speak for yourself. If there's one thing I know how to do is spend money.Originally Posted by Jer
The odds of winning are not based on the amount of tickets sold - they are based on the amount of possible numeric combinations - 1 in 175,223,510 for Powerball.

^^ very true. What the higher jackpot also means is higher likelihood that there will be multiple winners.

up to $550 million now, and climbing. I figure it will be more by the time the drawing occurs tonight.
