At least two tickets have won the $636M Mega Millions jackpot

[Breakfast Buddy]

Think about it this way:

most, if not all of the lottery income goes back into the state to help with education, roads, ect

so it's a like a voluntary tax

but you can win prizes!

Even if you lose you help someone out

[QUOTE=areolop;43220877]Odds of winning are 1 in 290,000,000

Chances of two winning... I have no idea.[/QUOTE]

chance of a ticket: 1:1
chance of 1 win: 1 in 290,000,000

chance of 2 win: 1 in (1 in 290,000,000)

so 1 in (290,000,000)^2

which is 1 in 84,100,000,000,000,000 = 1 in 84 quintillion 100 quadrillion
