My Ticket(s) to 1/2 Billion :-)

I have 8 Mega Millions lottery tickets for tonight's $640 million drawing.   While lottery tickets are generally a very, very, bad retirement plan, I still like to play when the jackpots are over $100 million.   The conventional wisdom is that the odds are 1:175,711,536 for winning.  My thinking is my personal probability is either 100% or 0%.  Either I hold the winning ticket or, more likely, I don't.

Here are the numbers we're playing:

22 32 37 40 41  MB: 13
07 24 29 40 41  MB: 22
07 10 16 30 31  MB: 20
04 07 15 39 54  MB: 41
03 09 27 39 48  MB: 39
01 07 13 16 20  MB: 09
02 10 48 54 55  MB: 28
11 44 51 53 55  MB: 16

Only 10 more minutes until we find out if we're a half billionaire :-)

Update:  Here are the winning numbers.  02 04 23 38 46  MB: 23
