I believe he said the odds are 1/13k - so I guess I could buy 13 thousand tickets or like 22k in tickets..8k profit..would kinda ruin the fun of it tho =)

Soon as 2 people did this, you'd lose out as the jackpot would be split.

Actually, the odds are 1 in 1.44M. That bet is something like a -99% ROI. Good luck on that.

It's 1 in 13,644.24 to be exact.

The regular powerball with 6 total numbers is 1 in 195 million.

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 !

Seriously, if you want to throw your money away, give it to me.

Btw, each roll is independent of the others, so your numbers are off by a factor of 6. It's (1/59 x 1/59 x 1/59 x 1/39), which is a bit under 1 in 8 million.
