According to biggamelottery.com winning combinations, there were over 4 million winners and the odds of winning something is 1:31, so there must have been over 120 millions chances solded. That the way I figure it.RJOh

Modelling Ticket Sales

Guest — Sat, 13 Apr 2002 02:52:27 GMT

I'm curious about how the size of the jackpot relates to the number of tickets sold. Obviously, the higher the jackpot, the more tickets that are likely to be sold, but how are the two related? I would guess that an estimated jackpot of $220M sells more than 10% better than one of $200M, but I'd like to know how much better. Does anyone know, or know where the sales statistics can be found so I can figure it out for myself?Lance ==)----------------__--[ Few of us belong in a high income bracket,... [ More ]
