Any other robots going Elliot on this powerball?

Putting my life savings on this.

Lel, here in Holland our highest jackpot is like 30 mil.

However, how much is that after tax? Like 300mil?

>>25563505
350 million around there

I wouldn't mind spending an entire check on lottery tickets.

Some may say it's a waste of money, but to me everything seems like a waste of money.

>>25563456
What if someone takes a 1 million $ loan and buys all the ticket ?

>>25563671
>buys all the ticket
there's an infinite number of tickets

>>25563671
Cost 650 mill to buy all the tickets.

>>25563671
Then they will be crowned the most idiotic mother fucker in history.

>>25563529
damn, I could build a standard gauge railway for that kind of money

bought a ticket, can't win if you don't play

if your plan is banking on winning, you need to reevaluate things

those odds are terrible tho

>>25563671

Do you even know how the Powerball works you dumbfuck?

1 in 292.2 million chance of having the jackpot * $2 = $584.4 million.

Assume:
your entire purchase goes to the jackpot (not sure if this is true)
you get ~60% of the jackpot for taking the lump sum option
you pay ~40% of the remaining cash in taxes

winnings = ($584.4 + jackpot) * (0.60) * (0.4)

You need to win at least 584.4 million after all this to not have lost money on the investment.

584.4 = ( 584.4 + j ) * (0.60) * (0.4)
j = 1,850.6

Hence the jackpot would need to be at least $1.8506 billion for you to not lose money on that play.

If you take the 30-year inflated-adjusted annuity option, you don't lose 40% up front, so then you only need a $876.6m jackpot to break even. But that's depending on the fact that taxes actually remain at 40% for 30 years (protip: they'll probably go up) and that Trump hasn't gotten us all nuked within the next 8 years so..

P.S. I forgot to mention that all depends on you being the ONLY one to win. If you end up splitting the jackpot with someone else you will be completely fucked.

>>25565428
Fuck your autist math.
This is my destiny and fate defies all odds;

He drove to Arizona, no power ball in Nevada because that would compete with the casinos.

I wonder why Elliot didn't just get a hooker, was he too beta to even do that?

>>25565428

Why are you europoors so fucking stupid????

Powerball is based on the numbers YOU CHOOSE not by how many tickets you win you fucking imbeciles

>>25563456

I never buy lottery tickets. I might have to. That jackpot is something else. Thankfully I already live in Nevada.

>falling for the random jew

>>25565807
OK then why not choose all the numbers?

>>25563456
Wait you have to drive all the way to Nevada to pick up the money? What if you lose the ticket on your way there?

>odds of winning the lottery are astronomically low
>someone (usually) still wins it anyway

it makes no sense, but i can't help it

>>25565846

Because you only get to choose 5 numbers ranging from 1 to 69 and another one which is your power ball.

The underage in this thread is real

>Being this retarded
The question was:

If we buy enough tickets to play every single combination of numbers, guaranteeing that we will win the jackpot, how big will the jackpot have to be to show a profit?

It's an obvious question and has a simple solution. Sorry they don't teach you americlaps basic math

The trick is to stick with 1 power ball number and buy all number combinations ending with that number

>>25565888

> thinking being born into a fucking miserable existence that you didn't ask to be part of where there is no reward (aside from the refractory period after cumming or doing something that makes your brain make happy chemicals) just work & pain - is a prize.

sounds like an excellent way to lose money, anon

Cost of playing: 69 choose 5 = 11,238,513 combinations * 2 = $22,477,026

So a 1 in 26 chance of winning the jackpot
and a 25 in 26 chance of winning $1,000,570 (i.e. a loss of $21,476,456)

As with the $2 ticket you need a jackpot of $533,373,606 after taxes and lump-sum deduction to break even

>>25568085
>Nobody cares about probability and theoretical mathematics
>Bragging about your military made up of poor rednecks and minorities
That's why you're broke faggot.
Listen jiggaboon, your americunt war technologies are founded on the mathematical research of scientists imported from based europe

>That's why you're broke faggot. Listen jiggaboon, your americunt war technologies are founded on the mathematical research of scientists imported from based europe

If that's the case then why doesn't your shit country have a better military than ours? You're just mad because the US could rape your shit country by dropping a nuke and calling it a day

>Tfw our states are bigger than your shitty 50s military technology poor country
