The smart people must only buy them in "normal" weeks.

Given the odds 'smart' people probably wouldn't buy them at all.

$6 for a Lucky Dip, but you don't get Power Ball. $11 for the cheapest Powerball one.

not true cheapest powerball is $8.80

i play the same numbers every week i had a dream i won 12 mill a while back i woke up and wrote the numbers down so now i play those numbers every week.

I buy a ticket most weeks, a $16.50 mega dip (or something like that). I don't miss the money I spend on the ticket, but would certainly be happy with winning it.

Every now and then I win small amounts that buy a few weeks more tickets. Got $75 odd a couple of weeks ago, had a $30 win a couple of weeks before that.

I know that it is hardly an investment, and that it is mainly throwing money away, but hey, so be it.

I do have a problem with people who don't have the money to spend, buying up large. That is just stupid.

Cheers

Grant

Now is when I bring up the smoking thread and how much money I stand to save if I quit… Gambling is a degusting habit :lol:

You are write though crocett, I wouldn’t normally buy a ticket when its only 2M but since its more I will. It is the Missus Birthday though so im only really buying it as a gift.

your chances of winning are as discussed...but you have to do another setr of sums...becuase all the lemmings rush out and buy more and more tickets as the pool goes up there must a bigger chance of you having to share the winnings....mind you i wouldnt mind sharing 24 - 30 mil...we normally buy one ticket with the same numbers and add the power ball.....or sometimes a lucky dip with power ball added....

Sharing the winnings of 24mil between 5(?) people would be much better than solely winning 2mil.

As I was browsing through here I noticed that the cheapest ticket is for $8.50 .... now if you buy this ticket 52 weeks a year (assuming you get it every week) that would be $416 p/year... now over a period of 5 years... thats $2080!!

If you're buying a ticket for around $11 (every week)... $572 per year, $2860 every 5 years!

If you're a lotto junkie and you've been buying $11 tickets since you were 23 up until you are 77 (every week) ... this would effectively mean you have spent over $30k on lotto tickets (not to mention how much 'potential interest you have lost from not having that $30k in the bank)!

Moral of the story.... As with gambling, you get nothing for something! (bar the handful of 'ZOMG I'm so Lucky!!1!' people)

I'm a farmer, and my response to living off the land is "Oh f**k no!" :P:D

Imagine it, I could afford a brand new M3 to round up the cows with each morning B)
