I would like to announce my continued availability as I did not win it this week... Originally Posted by Camille Fox

Cause we all love doing this.

If I win, hmmm…the possibilities are endless.
I am giving a couple of powerball tickets to some ladies.
If they win, I’ll have given the biggest tip in all history.

I love that scene from office space. It's my favorite movie. I got the Powerball number and won $8. I'll buy a ticket for Wednesday and see how it goes.

I think the odds of winning are the same whether you buy a ticket or not: ZERO

Yup. Stand by my statement.

1/292,000,000 is greater than zero.

And 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 is greater than zero.

Pick a small number. Pick a big number. Pick the largest of either category. Not measurable to zero.
