A drop in the bucket.
Over 200 million combinations across the nation were sold for the last draw .Over 200 million with nearly 100 million combinations still remaining.
Zero winners. Staggering .

Spend 300 Million to get 50/50 odds
According to this article you'd have to spend 300 million on lotto tickets to get 50/50 odds

If you got everyone in Tiger Stadium to purchase ~$5,700 in Powerball tickets you could guarantee that someone in the stadium would win the jackpot.
You read all of these odds that are absurd and meant to show you how ridiculous your chances are, but that puts a pretty positive spin on things.
I'll never understand the people who call it a stupid tax and ridicule those who play. I think it is absolutely incredible that you can pay $2 and win a $930M cash jackpot, yet all people can talk about is how slim your chances are going to be.
