Math:
A $540 million jackpot, if taken as a $390 million lump sum and after federal tax withholding, works out to about $293 million. With the jackpot odds at 1 in 176 million, it would cost $176 million to buy up every combination. Under that scenario, the strategy would win $117 million — less if your state also withholds taxes.

did anyone catch my stats based on the desire to swim like scrooge and fund NASA?
re: scrooge:
the amount of gold $540 million could buy is a 31" cube weighing 10 tons.re: donating to NASA:
all to NASA would last about 10 days. budget in 2010 was $18.69 billion....strange how little $540 million is when you begin to think in extremes.
- Don't think a 10 ton cube of solid gold can be classified as little.duckseason
- it is compared to swimming in a vault of gold coins 90ft deepalbums
