Re: its now 640 mil ppl!
I read online that there are about 175 million different combinations of numbers. So, if you had 175 million and played each combo once, you'd win... guaranteed. You would just have to hope your the only winner. Actually, depending on state taxes, there could probably 2 winners and you could still make a very nice profit lol

Did quick math, and it turns out that if you are the sole winner, and choose to take the winnings all at once, thats about all you are going to get of the 640 million! SO you'd only JUST break even from buying the tickets!

I am pretty sure it is more than that as the paper the other day had a higher amount when the prize was lower.
I thought it basically comes out to a total of 60% worth of taxes taken out.

i think its at 11pm tonight...
it goes up bc of the amount of tickets sold. the more people who buy the higher the jackpot goes.

If you go with the lump sum, you will get about $462 million according to CBS News.

Re: its now 640 mil ppl!
This was the best analysis of what you'd net.
I may have to move out of the state. The idea that I'd get $2M more a year is very persuasive!

But then there are state taxes on top of that, correct?
