me and two of my friends all work and are seniors in high school. he have part time jobs and want to save up some money in the lottery. we know the chances of winning are like 1:140,000,000 or something but people have bought one ticket and still won. so were wondering how much should we all combine and throw into the lottery without having too great of a loss. and should we buy the lottery tickets in different places, to make it seem like we don’t have a huge gambling problem if we go to one store.

Why not put up $10 each per week? That would be $15 worth of tickets for each draw, twice a week.
Or alternatively pool the money each week, and wait until the prize gets over $100m, and then buy more tickets each week with the money you saved up.
And the amount of money you are going to be able to spend is unlikely to make people think you are compulsive gamblers.
I wouldn’t hold your breath though. The math is not on your side.

Well, its up to you. I like to play $5 on it sometimes $10….but they always say the people that win it is the ones who just buy one ticket.
