Do you recall a few years back a few guys got together and tried to buy all the number combos for a lotto? They were going for $100 million plus....

Was that the one in Australia? Statiscally, once the size of the jackpot exceeds the odds of winning, e.g., 100M jackpot with odd 1/60M. It's a "good" bet to buy more than 50% of the available possibilities. I don't have that kind of cash.
