For example, the big lottery here in California is Mega Millions. Let’s say that the jackpot is at $300 million. There are close to 176 million possible number combinations that can be played. You spend $176 million on tickets, take about 30% taxes out of the winnings ($90 million), subtract your initial cost of $176 million, you are still left with $34 million. (The problem would be coming up with that much money initially and filling out 176 million different tickets!)
Chuck, that is a great point! If another person also won, you will be out alot of money.

you go get a ticket at the gas station, do you only get one? what kind do you get? pick 4 pick 5? how?
and then do you pick your own numbers?
after you get that ticket, how long before you find out the winning numbers?
and those numbers are the only ones right? you cant see what the next numbers are and then win those wit the same ticket?
questions??????????????
