Pot odds

The Mega Millions drawing for Friday has grown to $201 million. A nice overlay, given the odds of winning are, according to the Georgia Lottery Web site:

1:175,711,536

Good hunting!

  • Only one in 175,000,000! Go all in! It would suck to get quartered though.

  • I'm in for 1/175,000,000th worth. I could see buying too many attempts and it would be like the guys splitting the low on Bayne's post a couple of days ago.

  • nobody hit. imagine that. now it's 250M. I hate the lottery. It doesn't really matter how much money you put into it, the biggest difference is between investing $0 and investing $1. because the jump in your odds from 0 to 1 is infinite. but from 1 to 2 it's only 1/175,000,000 more....
