I won $4

But with no jackpot winner, it's up to $1.6 billion. If you win on Tuesday, what would you do that much money?

Honestly, I have no clue. Probably buy a new car and travel for a while. Donate and give away a lot. Invest it. I wouldn't want to become one of those lotto winning horror stories.

If I had 1.6 billion I'd probably get a membership to a paid porn site just to see if it's actually better.

You better buy that Utah land for sale that someone posted last year and create Newschoolers Ski Resort if you win.

I forgot I bought one last night. Not a big lottery guy but some friends convinced me to do it with them. YOLO.

Personally I'd rather be in a drawing for like 3 mil so there'd be a better chance of winning but whatever.

How do the odds not change if there's 10 times as many people entering it? Just prizes for almost winning etc?

I never looked any of it up. Only bought a ticket because it seemed like the cool way to waste 2 bucks

No matter how many people enter there's still the same number of combinations of possible winning numbers. Five numbers of chosen from a pool of 70 and a powerball chosen from 30, that's something like 1 in 300 million. Those odds don't change.

The jackpot odds are always 1 in 302millionish because it's based on the amount of number combinations. It's not like a name being drawn out of a hat.

Yes, more people will win the extra prizes because those are lower odds, but only because they are require less numbers to match. Yet those still not a drawn out of a hat type number combo.

If that makes sense

True. I just never really spent any time thinking about the lottery. I bought scratch offs twice and played quick draw a couple of times.

I would buy a small Hutt in BC, and a truck - find a super chill part time job at a ski shop working like 2 to 3 days a week. Living minimalistically and touring the whole of BC and AK

I would probably buy my island I would never work again:) This thought haunts me. I was seriously thinking about winning the lottery. This is quite real with a system of cold and hot numbers about which I learned accidentally from lottolytics.today. I don't know how much this thing works yet but why not to try,isn't it?

1. Buy a house in central Hokkaido to spend Jan-Feb.
2. Buy a house in Alta to spend Mar-April/May.
3. Buy a house in Crested Butte to spend the whole summer til probably Oct.
4. Buy a house in New Zealand to spend the fall/early winter.
5. Should be step 1, but buy a radical old school Land Cruiser of some sort
6. Travel around everywhere else in the mix of everything.

Otherwise just live modestly other than having properties, sick truck, and lots of skis/bikes. haha

You could consider gambling it all to turn your $1.6 billion into trillions. Just saying.
