MegaMillions Jackpot Now $636,000,000 - Get Your Tickets!
    #19288093 - 12/17/13 11:17 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/12/17/mega-millions-jackpot-grows-to-586-million/?intcmp=latestnews

The cash option is $341 million.  If the lump sum was invested in Treasury Bonds the payout (interest coupon) would create a permanent income of no less than $10 million a year.  That's hefty.

Then hyperinflation comes along and you are left with nothing.

If you win the jackpot, spend a wad and put a sizable part of it in precious metals. They will ALWAYS retain enough value for you to remain very rich.

If I won that much I'd give 10 000$ to 63 500 people :eek:
Give 100 000$ to close friends.

And keep the rest which would be about 500 000$.

I think some fun could be had with the customary news conference in which you're getting the big jumbo check and asked how the money will change your life and such. Instead of beginning by thanking god, thank Satan for his infernal generosity and that it was a bargain for your soul. Then explian how you're planning on starting a charity to get bus tickets for underage pregnant girls in oppressive states to travel to New York where they can get their abortions without parental consent, and say you'll only do one in depth interview and only with Howard Effing Stern, flip them all the bird and walk off. Its not as though you'd have to worry about ruining your employability at that point so have some fun with it.

I would probably take the lump sum and live off the interest from savings bonds, then invest the interest.

Mega Millions jackpot reaches $636 million, nears record high

Quote:

The odds of winning the jackpot used to be 1 in 176 million, but as of Oct. 22 the odds changed to 1 in 259 million as rules to the game changed, according to the Los Angeles Times. Players had been able to pick six numbers 1 through 56; now it's 1 through 75 and the Mega numbers have decreased from 46 to 15.

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

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.

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.

I think it's safe to say that ALL lotteries are pretty much sucker bets.

It's a money sink for most people that play on a regular basis. Some people know an uncle or cousin that won maybe a couple hundred or maybe a thousand dollars one time, but for most people that play there's next to no return

I only buy lottery tickets when I'm out of state, and then it's purely for novelty.

Those used to be the odds, but they recently changed it to 259 million to one.  Also remember, the prize money has to be reduced to the cash value after taxes in order to calculate actual prize money...And the top federal rate is now 39.5%

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.



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.





The odds are exactly the same whether the jackpot is $50 or $500 million.

I bought one ticket for the hell of it.

The probability is the same, but the odds improve as it pays more because you're getting closer to an even bet.

I'm tempted to go out and buy tickets but I feel like they're likely to not win. 600 million would be pretty cool though.

Hence they improve...in poker, we call these "pot odds".  You're using the word odds to mean probability, but there are other meanings to the word.

You'd lose a lot of money because you get only about a third of the jackpot after taxes.

That's true, but it probably won't be enough to offset the taxes.  In addition, you take a huge loss if someone else wins and you have to split the jackpot.

Do so.  Keep in mind that even though the jackpot is currently at $636 million, it's only $341 million cash option.  After federal taxes alone, that'd be $205 million.  You'd also have to subtract whatever state income tax you'd have to pay.

That used to work, not so much these days.
I think it actually happened once, and the people involved couldn't even get ever combination in time. I believe it was even less numbers. They did it though. A group of millionaires won the lotto.

In any case, I spent my 2 bucks today.

Wonder if I won? When is the drawing?


In any case, I don't mind spending 10 bucks a year for a crazy dream/fantasy.

Odds are 1:259 million.  So looks like you'd be in the hole already.  Not to mention there will probably be multiple winners.

is there an option to get the full amount like over a longer period of time or something? if not then my system would definitely not be profitable, unless the person considers the value of winning in itself to be greater than the amount of money lost:tongue:

You can get the full money over a longer period, but that doesn't help you because of the time value of money and the inevitable inflation over the next 20 years, you're bound to end up with less money in the long run.  And you'd still be taxed at the top rate.

The cash option is $341 million.  If the lump sum was invested in Treasury Bonds the payout (interest coupon) would create a permanent income of no less than $10 million a year.  That's hefty.



I won't play until the total reaches a cool billion dollars!

Odds are what, 1 time in 260 million? Good luck with that.

43 states. The odds of a winner being from your state are 1 in 43. Even if your state has the winner - you still won't have the ticket.

Even if someone from your town with the same first name as you has it - guess what? Odds are still heavily against you.

Even if the winner was narrowed down to either you, the person at the house across the street, and your two next-door neighbors, still only a .25 chance!
