if your odds of winning a jackpot are 1 in 175,711,356 then if you buy 10 unique tickets your odds become 1 in 17,571,135 then if you buy 100 unique tickets your odds become 1 in 1,757,113 then if you buy 1,000 unique tickets your odds become 1 in 175,711 then if you buy 10,000 unique tickets your odds become 1 in 17,571 then if you buy 100,000 unique tickets your odds become 1 in 1,757 then if you buy 176,000,000 unique tickets your odds become 1 in 1.

- this would be true if a winner was guaranteed in each draw, its not because its a lottery not a rafflespot13
- It is guaranteed because every combination had been bought. Note the word "unique".404NotFound
- you're wrong, what I've written doesn't mean what you said at all...albums
- a loss is guaranteed in each draw even if you bet red or black its still 50/50 but you can lose, hence the small payout, high odds.albums
- because of the high odds, as compared to choosing a # on the roulette wheel higher odds, higher payout.albums
- you have to admit to yourself the chance of loss exists even if you bought 99% of the tickets, you increase odds, but dont guarantee until 100%albums
- guarantee until 100%albums
- it is a mathematical raffle if you buy every ticket, you guarantee all tickets have been bought and played by youalbums

if you can afford to buy 176,000,000 tickets you wouldn't even care about joining in with the soiled masses at am/pm grasping at an impossible dream with one hand and a cherry squishee in the other...
- there is paid labor involved but things similar have already been done in the pastalbums

I'd shag 2 chicks at once from every country one country at a time.
I'd get a boat. a yacht like boat.
I'd get a 3 floor apt in NYC with some green space.
And a Porsche* I might get a top hat like TPayne. And omg a fucking voice box thing so everything I say sounds like Jack

Any time I consider purchasing a lottery ticket I instead take that dollar and put it in an envelope.
Total winnings thus far: $1

If I did win that much money, I'd by no means be lazy with it. After the shock wore off I'd be pretty pumped to pursue some business ideas. I'd still want to work and create something. My fiance and I have a big goal of opening a bed and breakfast/boutique hotel in the woods in Colorado someday; I'd go after that and focus on getting every aspect of my vision into it.
In the short term I'd definitely get my snowboarding friends together on a massive quest to ride at the places that still have snow. Probably just buy a cabin in Whstler, party and snowboard until burning the place down.

Houses:
1. I would buy a house in Del Mar overlooking San Dieguito Lagoon and PCH
2. Lake Tahoe on the water (CA side)
3. House on Oahu probably South/East shore near Koko craterI would donate 30% to various charities, churches and foundations.
My immediate family (three sisters and their family) would get all their bills cleared and a million each.
close friends (about 6 people) get bills cleared and 100K each.then...

If no one wins, the next jackpot starts at just under a billion dollars.
