Its xmas eve and i am stuck at work for another hour and no one wants to buy business Insurance today so i am doing some math.


3 numbers from @ 59 which can be in any order + 1 number in 39.
Key diff here from "true" powerball is the numbers can be redrawn via /rand.

so

3/59 = 0.050847458
2/59 = 0.033898305
1/59 = 0.016949153
1/39 = 0.025641026

Multiply all those to get = 0.00000074908

1 / 0.00000074908 = 1,334,970.8

So your odds of the jackpot are about 1 in 1.335 mill.

I think i will buy a ticket when i log in for and play the reverse karma game.

Good luck players !
