This is where you really piss people off. But of course you already know this.

 

If you want me to stop asking folks to mention others @ while talking about them just say it...

 

Should I move your post and create a thread on the matter? Or maybe @Avalon would do it for us?

Quite the contrary IMO, but since Lucky is no longer with us.....Someone had to take his place! Congratulations!!! @marylander1940 !

 

anytime!

 

Let's go back to the jackpot:

 

I only bid on priceline and hotwire. I think buying lotto or anything similar is throwing money away but I do support the way they raise money for other causes.

I couldn’t resist...the “edge” is too good

Ok...who gets what I mean when I say “edge”. It’s not usually inside information like a jockey is going to throw a race, or a boxer throw a fight.

 

It’s usually in a casino’s favor...like roulette pays 35/1 sounds huge! But there are 38 ways to lose (36 numbers and 0/00) the casino owns the edge on that.

 

When a lottery jackpot outstrips the calculated odds, you have a slight edge.

 

Edit: so the jackpot is a billion, here’s the odds showing the consumer has an edge, mind you losing streak could cost you a billion and more than a few lifetimes.

 

“The odds of winning the top prize were 1 in 258,890,850. Since Mega Millions modified the formula, players now pick five numbers from 1 to 70 and a Mega number of 1 to 25. The odds of winning the jackpot are now 1 in 302,575,350”
