The odds of winning the Mega Millions (here in the states) is just a shade over 1 in 7 million !! When they have a jackpot of $300 million dollars, I would rather see 300 - one million dollar winners, than one "winner take all".
Those are good odds Charles. Here in Canada, one lottery has odds of 1 in 13,983,816, the other is 1 in 28,633,528.(by dividing approx. 86 million combinations by 3; Odds for each number set are 1 in 85,900,584). I've won 1500$ in it. When I worked in the papermill, our crew of 10 split 2200$.
