So at a winning yield of $200 Million, the odds are paying better than even
for a $1 bet. Seems better than house odds in a casino...

Those of us with any understanding of mathmatics know that the odds of

Still, it is amusing to wager $1 on the chance of winning a much larger
sum with the odds of 1:11,000,000.

1:135,145,920 for the Mega Millions jackpot
