You all realize that your odds of winning are at their lowest point they've been all month right? I don't understand playing the lottery only when it hits record high jackpots.

I'd buy the shroomery just to fire Prisoner#1, then sell it back for $1.  I'd probably die within a few months pennyless, living in a hotel room.

Even at that jackpot level, it's still a bad bet.  It's got to get higher before it's a good investment.

A motel room.  Otherwise you're doing it wrong.

The odds are best when the jackpot is higher.  It's a sucker bet unless the jackpot is at least 800 or so million in any case, and even then, it's not a great bet because if you split the pot, you're at a disadvantage again.

Still, it's a better bet to play for a higher jackpot than a lower one.

I'd say you're still a multimillionaire regardless if a handful of people are splitting 50 million or 500 million. Only difference is like 5 times the amount of people playing.

I bought a few tix. If I win, I will give 100 shroomerites a hundred grand at random! And hold a badass gathering all inclusive and paid for. :peace:

That's not the point. It's a sucker bet if it pays less that the odds of winning.  The only time it doesn't is when the jackpot is astronomically high.

That's why it pays to study and fail probability

there are a lot of gambling games that are pretty much a scam
