Mega / Powerball

I have a Lotto subscription.

It automatically plays two numbers every drawing for a year for $104. If I win anything trivial, it can be applied to next year, or I can cash out at the end of the subscription. If it's bigger, I get a check. If it's really big, I get a call from a lottery official to arrange a press conference.

I've never gotten a check or a phone call. The most I think I've won was about $45.

But, for most if us in the not-so-rare air of working people, even the lower end of Lotto wins, maybe $200K, is life changing money. It could pay off your mortgage, or at least a significant chunk.

Or, if you're lucky enough to have a lower rate mortgage you could put the same $$$ into a money market and actually profit instead.

Everything is relative. Do some math
 
I'm guessing a NY'er was playing the same 5 numbers with different MegaBalls - at $5 a pop he/she is lucky they hit early in this new game

No winners for Powerball.
How is that even possible, how many combinations of numbers were not played?

It's at that point where anyone with a few million dollars can play every combination of numbers. Just have to hope the pot isn't split!

Not exactly, there are 292 million combinations. At $2 a pop - you'd have to lay out almost $600 million and hope you don't split it with someone. Plus Powerball doesn't give you a lot of time between drawings to print all those tickets.

It can be done with lotteries with lower odds though.
