If I won the powerball....

I agree with you on that, but just wanted to correct some misinformation for those who might be inclined that way. Annuities are one way to keep people from going nuts and bankrupting themselves in a couple of years, but there are better ways for those who can handle the responsibility that comes with good fortune.

3.44827586 E-9 or 0.000000003 chance of winning.

I have a better chance of being killed by an elephant today than winning.......but at least is not 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001

Given the quality of most of your posts, I would have expected you to have done better than an E- in math!

So my odds of winning are the same as if I survived a plane crash, but got attacked by a shark, while being struck by lightning.....

The lure of gambling, someone wins, so why not you.

As long as the you play, the chance is non-zero.

Sadly even with the almost non-existent chance of winning people still view this as their best opportunity for what most would consider a better life. I will buy a couple tickets when the pot is big just because I think it is fun to have a chance and dream silly dreams. Cheap entertainment at best for me.

I could do with just 2,126 acres in Missouri. $3.7 million, build a house in the middle of that and no one would know the difference.
