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
