The odds of winning "the Big One" are only 135,000,000 to 1...<G> Of course, after taxes and the reduction to lump sum, yer looking at netting about 65-70 million, so it's STILL not a positive expectation gamble. (Although the smaller prizes improve the overall expectation a little bit). Nonetheless, I'm sure I'll pick up 5 or 10 tickets to salve the compulsive gambler in me...<G>
