A math teacher in Minnesota worked up some numbers about Megamillions (the ot her multi-state game). Based on the feds’ numbers for highway safety, if one has to drive just three miles to get the lotto ticket, the odds of being involved in (not necessarily killed) a fatal auto crash are more favorable than the odds of winning the jackpot, by almost twice.

So, I suggest buying two tickets, and driving really carefully.

Okay, I like the driving really carefully part.

Now, pick good numbers!

“So, I suggest buying two tickets, and driving really carefully.”

Especially when driving to claim your winnings. . .
