[QUOTE="IveGotTheBlues, post: 11647728, member: 37720"] So, since everyone knows the Mega Millions is high and there are a lot of math minded people on the forum.. I got into a debate about calculation the odds of winning if you purchase multiple tickets. Of course there are assumptions: Let's say, for ease of calculation, odds of 1 ticket winning are 1:1 Million. The 1 million represents all possible number combinations. Also, each ticket purchased, represents a distinct number combination. If odds of winning with 1 ticket = 1/1,000,000 and I buy 82 tickets, what are my odds of winning? A: 82/1,000,000 => 1/12,195 B: 82/999,918 C: They don't change D: Something else [/QUOTE]
