Multi-State Big Game : Now $300 Million

[Draco]

Um, yeah so that's like a whole lot of money. Go buy a ticket if you can. Drawing is tomorrow.

 

[Draco]

No one won last night. Jackpot is now estimated to be worth $200 million. Drawing is on Friday.

I'd suggest a pool, but I'm to lazy to organize all that.

 

[iamwiz82]

believe it or not, illinios is not the only state in that lottery

 

[Draco]

Your right, it is a multi-state lottery. What other states are included? My bad.

 

[iamwiz82]

Georgia
Illinios
Maryland
Massachusetts
Michigan
New Jersey
Virginia

And i was just being an ass because its the ATOT way

 

[Rick974]

I got mine

Just think of the machine I could build with 200 million dollars :Q

 

[Draco]

It's definitely exciting to think about...yet depressing

 

[ThaGrandCow]

Is this the normal Big Game?

 

[Draco]

<< Is this the normal Big Game? >>




Normal except for the fact that it's worth 1/5th of a billion dollars

 

[goodoptics]

Will someone please pick up a lottery ticket for me?
I will paypal the money.

 

[jorken]

Yeah I got in it last night but obviously didn't win. Thats ok though, just more i get to win on Friday

 

[hoihtah]

how much do these tickets cost?


i was just trying to pick out my winning number.
mathmatically.

did anyone see the movie pi?
pi is supposely a non-repeating sequence of numbers.
meaning there's no particular pattern that one can use to define it.
hence, you can theorethically get infinate decimal point values to PI.

if this is the case... i'm arguing that one can find a pattern in PI.
:Q

so far i have my six numbers picked out.
i'll share a few numbers with you guys. 1, 35, 47

 

[Draco]

Suposidly there is some complex equation that can be used to pretty much assure you to win the Pick 3 (or Pick 4) lotto. It's a well kept secret though... I don't know if that's true. I just read it somewhere.

 

[JEDI]

DRACO,

The secret to winning EVERYTIME is to pick every posssible combination.

 

[Chipster]

That's a nice chunk of change. Odds are around 76 million to 1 to hit the jackpot. But check this out,they are revamping that multistate lottery and adding new states and adding more numbers making the odds go up to 135 million to 1 with jackpots potentially reaching 500 million dollars. That's ridiculous,I think they should make it easier and give more people a chance to win like 10 million dollar jackpots.

 

[Mister T]

cool... I am going to call my mom and have her play 20 bucks for me.

 

[zayened]

yeah, I work at Speedway gas station, and they called me in TO SPECIFICALLY WORK THE LOTTO MACHINE FROM 4:00 to 9:00 PM tomorrow night. People around here get crazy and start spending $200 to $300 on it right before the actual drawing. This also brings the jackpot up.

 

[hoihtah]

zayened...

you have ccna ... and you're working at a gas station?

man... times are hard.

 

[Fausto]

I grabbed two tix yesterday...I generally don't play the lottery, but I figured two bucks wouldn't break the bank. I'll throw a huge Anandtech party here in Atlanta if I win...rent out a block of rooms in a hotel...put together 40 gaming rigs (to be donated to a local school afterwards) for those flying in and buy about 10 kegs of various beers. That would pretty much rule.

[TallBill]

hah.. people are stupid for buyin 200 tickets... statistacly you have worse "odds" of winning as u buy more tickets... anyways... buyin 1 or 2 aint bad.. i might pick one up.. if i won 200 mill.. id also have a huge party.. but it wouldnt be for ATOT The anandtech ECCP team would get a huge boost tho

 

[Draco]

<< zayened...

you have ccna ... and you're working at a gas station?

man... times are hard. >>




I thought the exact the same thing but decided not to say anything I too am a CCNA, but I have a job at an ISP, although it's a pretty uneventful one. IT job market is still really poor.

 

[Fausto]

<< if i won 200 mill.. id also have a huge party.. but it wouldnt be for ATOT The anandtech ECCP team would get a huge boost tho >>


Oh come on....you can't tell me it wouldn't be worth inviting all the OTers just to see Tex and Red Dawn finally get a chance to smack each other around a little.
