quote:You can cut down these odds considerably if you consider only buying “probable” combinations of numbers.
The odds in MegaMillions are 1 in 302,575,350, meaning you need roughly a $1b payout for it to pay off. Powerball’s odds are comparable at about 1 in 292,201,338.
For example:
Not buying combinations with more than 3 consecutive numbers, not buying combinations where all the numbers are below 20, etc, etc, etc

Like all statistics, if you did that and the numbers fell into those crazy outcomes, you could be out several hundred million and miss the jackpot.
Also, if too many of the smaller prizes are won, sometimes they will become parimutuel and they will be split like the jackpot.
