qurlyjoe<p>I browse thru the Apple News app every day and I’ve noticed there seem to be a lot of stories lately about people winning various <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/lottos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lottos</span></a>. The big nation-wide ones in the US, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Powerball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Powerball</span></a> and <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Megamillions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Megamillions</span></a>, have been around for decades. Megamillions recently raised the price of a ticket from $2 to $5. I wonder if sales are down, and they’re pushing these stories to offset the loss in income. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TaxOnStupidity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TaxOnStupidity</span></a></p>

Karen Dalton-Beninato ☑️<p>Of course <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/Powerball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Powerball</span></a>'s announcement is being postponed for technical difficulties, with the jackpot at $1.3 billion smackers.</p>
Kenneth<p>There were 40 consecutive rollovers in 2021 and 2022; tomorrow is the first ever 41st <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Powerball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Powerball</span></a> draw. As per the law of very large numbers the odds of a <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Powerball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Powerball</span></a> rollover continuing gradually decrease. The more trials, the more black swan. </p><p>10 draws, ~67%. <br>20 draws, ~45%. <br>30 draws, ~30%. <br>40 draws, ~20%.</p><p>And as always, the odds of any given ticket winning nothing whatsoever are very nearly 64%.</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/probability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>probability</span></a><br><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/statistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>statistics</span></a></p>
RamenCatholic 🐢🌈<p>What do you want as a present when I win the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Powerball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Powerball</span></a> this weekend?</p>
Kenneth<p>⚮⚮⚮Ornette Coleman currently, after a morning of Stan Kenton and Sun Ra.<br>⚮⚮⚮Ordered more Sun Ra. <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Jazz</span></a> <br>⚮⚮⚮Just realized that, frustrated with the <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/WheresGeorge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WheresGeorge</span></a> app, I'd bought a $1.23B <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Powerball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Powerball</span></a> ticket w/Double Play without entering the $5. It's marked up, so if you see it, it's from me. Whether it carries my luck with it is another matter...</p>
Legit_Spaghetti<p>I should buy a <a href="https://mastodo.neoliber.al/tags/Powerball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Powerball</span></a> ticket tomorrow.</p>
Kenneth<p>⚮⚮⚮Opto-neuro knocked me out.<br>⚮⚮⚮For Connie. Modern <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Jazz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Jazz</span></a> Quartet. 1960 live recording in SLOVENIA. Currently playing on apsi, my <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> box (just now figured out how to do this). <br>⚮⚮⚮$1B <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Powerball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Powerball</span></a> ho...! No, not that kind of ho...</p>
Kenneth<p>$1M Idea: Each time I don't play <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Powerball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Powerball</span></a> w/Powerplay $3 materializes in my pocket.</p>
Kenneth<p>$1M Idea: <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Powerball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Powerball</span></a> tickets are receipts.</p>
Kenneth<p>Amused that the skeoumorph <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Powerball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Powerball</span></a> countdown clock goes cattywampus and stays that way.</p>
AI6YR Ben<p>Ah, my sympathies to this poor woman. You do *not* want to win a gob of money and have that known publicly, because you're going to have to sell your house and move, change your phone number, and avoid every relative/friend/etc. you had begging for money for a decade. (you want to win smaller amounts that aren't so visible). </p><p><a href="https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/downtown-las-1-08-billion-powerball-jackpot-winner-revealed/3376213/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nbclosangeles.com/news/local/d</span><span class="invisible">owntown-las-1-08-billion-powerball-jackpot-winner-revealed/3376213/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/powerball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>powerball</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/jackpot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jackpot</span></a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/sympathies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sympathies</span></a></p>
Kenneth<p>The countdown clock is back. Odd that it just doesn't reset at the beginning of each drawing. And someone during the night the jackpot bumped up from $835M to $935, which ipso facto means that the winning numbers were not drawn (the "Results Pending", I presume). </p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Powerball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Powerball</span></a><br><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/neurotYpos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurotYpos</span></a></p>
