Who got tickets?

Yeah, yeah, yeah....I know-percentagewise it's a horrible shot, but somebody has to win it

(and I've got 100 shots tonight :money8: )

i could never spend a 100 of my own money onthat....never...

i could see going in with people ina work pool for 10bucks X Xamount of people and thats cool bc im not looking for 200million on my own...id gladly share it with 20-30people and be grinning from ear to ear...


gl maybe someone from here will win it all and feel generous and share with their fellow rx posters....i figure im good for $10bucks a post...so 10k would make me very very happy...and you'd have a new friend for life :)

I bought $5 worth. As TT said, someone has to win it.

If I was lucky enough to win, I hope I could represent better than old man Whittaker after his windfall.

Exactly the same chance? No, that would be a 100 times greater chance to win.

Not that I would spend $100 on that, but if you are, your chances go from 1 in 120 million to 1 in 1.2 million. That is a huge difference.

Incorrect.

1 in 120 million vs 100 in 120 million is what it is. Buying more tickets does not drop the number of possibilities.

1 ticket = 0.000000833%
100 Tickets = 0.000083333%

1 ticket = 0.000000833%
100 Tickets = 0.000083333%

So you're telling me that 0.000000833% isn't 1% of 0.0000833%?

:ughhh: :monsters-

Thats not what I am saying. I am saying that 100 in 120 million is not 1 in 1.2 million. It may seem like splitting hairs - but it's not. 1 in 120 million is almost statistically identical to 100 in 120 million.

Owning more tickets doesn't change the # of possibilities.

With that being said - I've crossed my fingers for you. Good luck!
