You have a 100% chance at winning the Mega Millions
Or
A 85% chance of winning the Powerball.
Which do you take?

Always look at the cash value. The megamillions would give you about $5 mill after taxes on the cash option.
The powerball would give you about $240 million. I'd roll with the 85% OR sell my draw for about $200m.

I’ll take $5 million after taxes… I could live plenty fine with that.

Are you?
An 85% chance of winning $240.0m has a value of $204.00 m. You might not be able to sell your chance for $200m, but you could probably get close.
But the big point was that you could sell your 85% chance of $240m for a lot more than $5.0 million.

But who are you going to sell it to? Anyone who could afford it, doesn't need it.

I think you go with mega million but damn don’t get rich without risks… it’s house money either way. I think I would go with 100% but damn lol 85??? That 15 would totally get me it’s in my blood
Yeah I’m going with the guarantee still be able to retire and set up some amazing future passive income

MegaMillions ($20m) drawing is today and PowerBall ($9XXm) is tomorrow.
Correct answer is obviously take the 100% guaranteed on the MM today, then buy ~$5m (whatever the after tax value is on the cash option) worth of PB tickets...driving 100mph on the way to the store to save $$ on fuel.
