people usually do not understand the math behind a lotto. lets say the odds of winning are 1:100,000,000. most people say then why not buy 100,000,000 tickets and bank the 340MM jackpot. problem with that logic is that the odd are that there will be more than 1 winning ticket. your share gets split and split depending on how many tickets match. also, the higher the payout the more tickets sold therefore the more chances for multiple winner. best bet, buy 1 or 2 tickets and just hope you are the luckiest fuck on the planet.

the person that won is from west virginia, the poorest most uneducated state in the US. bet the winner doesn't even have all of his teeth. life is funny.

merry christmas
