As Always:

Jackpot = 1 in 302,575,350

$1,000,000 = 1 in 12,607,306

I have better chance to selling 5 books, pistachios, coffee, etc , than honestly hitting 5 numbers. Even if I hit 3 +1 that amt would go into paying something off. If I were to hit 5 numbers, I would take a portion and start tiaa acct and put money onto corona stock .
