Okay, I have to admit intuition was NOT confirmed by the whole ‘unlikely to go completely broke playing only five at time.’

Nice to see some stats that confirm my intuition on this matter.
Thank You.

Not rich, yet, no. The odds are pretty rough, yes. We’ve still got a half year to go. C’mon big money!!

Erik, are you rich yet?

This is also a great page for the people who don’t know how Once lotteries work (like moi) yet want to get in on the action. Also good for realizing our odds are worse than we thought.

I’ve always thought of the lottery as either A) license to fantasize for a week or B) tax for stupid people. Somehow your project steadfastly refuses to fall into either category. Now I have to add a third one: C) Math death.

Mild excitement, sure. But it’s more of a “Ho hum, let’s go verify that I’ve lost again this week…” than, “Let’s see if I won!”

I’ve been falling behind a bit on updating this page. I’ll try to do better.

Is there still excitement when you check to see if you won?

I’ve just fallen behind on updating this page. Once they do the drawing today, I’ll add the last three weeks.

Your graph sure is consistent. Have you given up on the project or have you just not entered the last couple of weeks?

They say it’s run by disabled people… but they’re actually super-abled. They’ve figured out how to rig the system so that you always win the first time, and then never again. Good Luck.
