Had a funny thought when buying a powerball ticket (admit it, you bought one to)

If we miss the playoffs we have a better chance of winning the draft lotteries top TWO picks than I do of winning the powerball jackpot.

So there's that....

For those of you out to play the lottery, please do it responsibly.  Here is a simulator you can use to see how crazy the odds are.

Look on the brightside, you have a better chance of winning the Powerball than one of the top prizes in McDonalds Monopoly game.  From their 2014 game:

Quote
BROWN: Mediterranean Ave, odds 1 in 30 million wins $1,000.
LIGHT BLUE: Vermont Ave, odds 1 in 40 million, wins $5,000.
PINK: Virginia Ave, odds 1 in 200 million, wins $10,000
ORANGE: Tennessee Ave, odds 1 in 602 million, wins Super Bowl tickets.
RED: Kentucky Ave, odds 1 in 15 million, wins one of 40 plane tickets for two.
YELLOW: Ventnor Ave, odds 1 in 300 million, wins $20,000
GREEN: Pennsylvania Ave, odds 1 in 40 million, wins one of 15 Fiat cars.
BLUE: Boardwalk, 1 in 602 million, wins $1,000,000 in $50,000 annual payments.
RAILROADS: Short Line railroad, 1 in 150 million, wins a year's supply of gas.

You could buy a Powerball ticket, or you could go outside on a sunny day and wait around to get hit by lightning.

I thought the thread title referred to our odds of beating the Knicks tonight.

Odds of two lotto pics and the possibility of landing both the 1st and 2nd pick are improving in relation to the odds I win the powerball.
Guess that's a good thing :)
