All you need is 1 ticket ($2). Buying one ticket significantly increases your odds from 0 in 302 million to 1 in 302 million. Subsequent numbers do verrrry little to increase your chances (2 - xx in 302 million).

Quoted from JJHLH:A big problem is the winner’s names are made public. That makes sense and is necessary to ensure the lottery isn’t rigged. But once everyone knows you recieved a windfall it changes how they interact with you. Loved ones and friends come out of the woodwork to put the touch on you. The only way I can see to avoid that is to publicly donate all the money to charity. That would be rewarding and fun and would avoid all the headaches.
Not all states. Lots of states you can claim it as a trust and go unidentified. Best scenario if you can be patient and gather a team and set the wheels in motion.
Quoted from Baiter:Who wouldn't be just as happy winning $1 Million dollars? I'd rather they ran it like a Raffle and made 1600 millionaires. They are just using human nature to drive up their own income... an unrealistic jackpot size with unrealistic odds to win.
Depends what makes you happy. $1M is maybe $600k after taxes. Most can't retire on $600k. It would make life more comfortable, and could retire sooner, but not immediately like the big jackpots.
Quoted from Pinballlew:Well I am in and if I win it I will buy every current pinsider from this date a brand new pinball machine!
51,845 pinsiders x $6000 (Stern pro + shipping) = $311,070,000.
You'd still have a couple hundred million left over.
Quoted from Baiter:Wait, who wouldn't be happy winning $600k cash?
You had originally said “just” as happy winning 1m vs grand prize. There’s a huge difference in happy levels bw the two of you ask me
