The Mega Millions Jackpot
The Mega Millions Jackpot is up to $540 million dollars and is becoming a grand source of entertainment. There has never been a jackpot this big, putting dollar signs in peoples eyes. Some people are talking strategy, others are in a frenzy and others are trying to profit from the frenzy. Here are some examples of the entertainment.
The Psychics
Psychics around the country who are tapping in to the super natural are attemptting to learn the winning numbers. Some are glorifying their abilities and others say they would need more time to "get in tune" with the winning numbers. Lucky for most, many psychics do not believe it is ethical to use their ability to win the lottery.
The Mathematicians
Many mathematicians say it is a statistical improbability to win the lottery. Thanks to their logical view of things they tend not to play. However, with the jackpot at $540 million some are attempting to use math to find the winning numbers.
The Hoarders
Another jackpot strategy is to buy as many tickets, from as many places, as possible. According to this strategy, the more tickets bought the greater chance to win. Unfortunately, the mathematicians harsh the hoarders buzz by pointing out the fact that spending $400 a month on tickets would have the probability of a win once every $34,000 years or so.
The Bottom Line
The winner(s) of the $550 Million Jackpot should stay away from the psychics, mathematicians and hoarders who just want to bring the winner down. Also, sign the ticket and take a picture of yourself with it. For the other 100 million people who do not win the lesson is clear. Sit back and enjoy the Mega Millions entertainment.
