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.

that's because you are ten times more likely to die in a car crash on the way to and from the gas station where you bought your ticket than you are to cash that ticket for the grand prize
