So if you bought a million tickets, the odds would be one in 292. I don't even like those odds.
I agree with Rubicon. When I was a kid near NYC it seemed like everyone played the numbers and to a lessor extent the Irish Sweepstakes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_...%27_Sweepstake

All it takes is ONE lucky ticket! If you don't play, you most likely won't be holding that ticket in your hand. Your choice of course. But it is fun to dream and dream big this time around. Good luck to all!!!!!!!!!!
