“I got zero numbers does that win anything?”

I'm no good with odds, but IIRC, speaking of zero - you are just as likely to win with a ticket of 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 as you are a ticket with 4-21-63-14-57-81-19-8.

Even so - I just might go out an by a ticket. (Would be about the 6th ticket I've ever bought in my life!)

That’s my thinking. Since the odds are the same regardless of jackpot amount the larger payoff increases the value of the bet/risk.

Alas, I studied statistics in college. So if I buy any tickets it will be to teach my daughter ‘how-to-lose-money-gambling-we-could-have-spent-on-squishies’
