Lottery Statistics (No its not 4%) - Sanderz - 11-29-2009
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerball#Payout_and_Odds
Matches Prize Current probability of winning[3]
Zero numbers, plus Powerball $ 3 1:61.74
1 number, plus Powerball $ 4 1:123.48
2 numbers, plus Powerball $ 7 1:787.17
3 numbers, no Powerball $ 7 1:359.06
3 numbers, plus Powerball $ 100 1:13,644.24
4 numbers, no Powerball $ 100 1:19,030.12
4 numbers, plus Powerball $ 10,000 1:723,144.64
All 5 numbers, no Powerball $ 200,000 1:5,138,133.00
All 5 numbers, plus Powerball Jackpot 1 in 195,249,054.00
To put these odds in perspective, in the US in 2008 there were 1.03 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled[6]. A person living one mile from a retailer selling Powerball tickets is four times as likely to die in an accident traveling to and from that store (two miles) than winning the Powerball jackpot on a $1 play.
FOUR TIMES AS LIKELY TO DIE DRIVING THERE THAN WINNING
So please guys, play powerball and get that guild house. It will really happen, honest.

As your parents have also proven, it is possible, however remote, to have two kids grow up to be complete douche bags in completely different ways.

I propose that all money earned towards lottery tickets be sent to Canada. We have a lower population, SO OF COURSE OUR ODDS OF WINNING BIG DOLLARS ARE FAR GREATER THAN YOU YANKS!
