Is this the record high for 6/49? Don't remember it being any higher?

It was on CTV news, they had some math whiz prof at SFU do the math, your chance of winning is like 1 in 13,890,XXX.

I think if you're meant to win or want to join the fun and have that false hope we all have, one ticket is enough, haha.
Even if it was split between like 3 winning tickets, you still walk with 16 million each. I'll take that. Unless you're like MC Hammer stupid, 16 sets you and your kids for life and then some with interest and all.

Oh how I wish I win this money.

Stevie P 02-19-2009 02:36 PM

At this point, it's the largest ESTIMATED jackpot for a draw.

The draw in 2005 was estimated to be $40M, but it ended up being $54M.

This upcoming draw is estimated to be $48M, but it's anyone's guess what the actual amount ends up being.

bank it...make madd interest and hopefully that bank doesnt crash

johny 02-19-2009 03:37 PM

the whole estimate thing is dumb. if they estimated every jackpot to be 100 million it probably would be, because everyone would buy 4x as many tickets.

No, wouldn't work. Might work the first time, maybe the second time, but if it becomes too common, people would stop putting extra money into each of those draws. People only have so much money to spend on the lottery, and they wouldn't be able to sustain spending the extra amounts of money for every draw, even if it was $100M.

You would think the estimate would be accurate. Everything they've already collected from the ticket purchase for the $39 mil jackpot is already put aside. Whatever people are spending to buy tickets for the $48 mil jackpot adds nothing to $48 mil?

Really?!?!?! They needed a math whiz proft to do the math?!?!?! It's just 49x48x47x46x45x44.......

snowball 02-19-2009 04:06 PM

it's also on the 6/49 website -___-"

jigga250 02-19-2009 04:26 PM

hookers and blow for all of RS


personally, I wish they broke it up into several draws or something...I'd rather have 10 chances at 5mil, than 1 chance at 50.

azncreationz 02-19-2009 04:26 PM

So...why don't you buy 14 million dollars worth of tickets, if your chance of winning is 1 in 14 million. Then, basically, you're guaranteed to win! A tidy profit of at least 34 million....unless someone else has winning tickets.

Each ticket is $2, so you would need to spend $28M to guarantee a win.

Tim Budong 02-19-2009 05:11 PM
