The odds of winning both lotteries is astronomical, but if I won both of course I'd keep the money. Why would I have played both if I didn't want to keep the money. My son and I have a Mega Million Subscription and will probably get one for Powerball.

Those are the odds of one specific person who hasn't yet won winning both games with only 1 chance for each game. To get the odds of two events happening you simply multiply the odds of one event by the odds of the other. Other than the odds being vastly different, this is just like your chance of flipping a coin and getting heads and rolling a die and getting a 3. For that the odds would be (1 in 2) * (1 in 6) = 1 in 12. Other than needing a calculator it works just th esame for PB and MM: (1 i... [ More ]

Could you be more precise? I'd like to understand this, but I'm not well educated in statistics.

Are those the odds of winning the two jackpots at the same time, in consecutive drawings, or otherwise in any two (one of each game) particular specified drawings

Hell yeah I would keep both. I would donate to charities anonymously and start a non profit organization of some kind.

ohhhhhhhhh the good I could do with double the jackpots!

That in itself is a job! So quitting the 8hr job is a mute point.

With great power comes even greater responsibilities.....is a true statement.

....look at Todd....he's busier than ever...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TODD

I ask myself: 'Would a relative share with me if they won the Lotto?'

That answer tells me what I would do - donate 80% of it to charity, and I'd live off the other 20%.

Oh wait - I already did that.

Suppose that you won a single jackpot of $32 million instead of the two starting jackpots of 12 and 20 million? Or 150 instead of 75 and 75? There's a huge difference in the odds that it would happen, but what's the difference in terms of what you would or wouldn't do with the money

You are so right ScaryChick.

And yes, I would keep both. I would use the money as I please. Of course give some to charities of my choice over time. But, take a look back at people who have gone out of their way to give out their newly found wealth. Winners are missing, scammed, and baggers lurk outside of their doors. People seem to mistake giving to those in need as supporting those in want.

I would try my best to remain anonymous or move where no one knows my names.

I'd be freaking out if I won one jackpot. If I won both PB and MM, I would probably have a heart attack.

You can keep both and still do 'good'...alot of good

If You Won Both?

VA has the MM is getting PB...so it got me to thinking, what if you won both??? Also, what if the jacpots were 200+ million a piece...assuming they aren't shared with alot of people...would you keep on jackpot and give the other one away, would you keep both??? I have never heard of this happening but it could...who knows right?

I would not keep both...I would have to do something good with the other jackpot.
