By Admin on January 5, 2018
The odds that you’ll win the $445 million jackpot in Tonight’s Mega Millions drawing aren’t great to say the least.
CNN reports, your shot at the $550 million in the Powerball drawing Tomorrow aren’t the best either. Check out these fun facts: The Mega Millions odds are 1 in 302.6 million. That’s more than 2,000 times less likely than being killed by a lightening strike or an earthquake. The odds of winning Powerball are only slightly better — 1 in 292.2 million. Both games increased the choice of numbers people can play, which makes it even tougher. By the way this is the first time both games have jackpots of $400 million or more. What the chances of winning both, worth almost $1 billion? 1 in 88 quadrillion. That’s 88,000 trillion, or 88 million billion. Alright already, A man can dream and I have my tickets, good luck to all.
