You don't have enough time to buy 302 million tickets.

Plus, there is the very real chance you have to split the jackpot. It'll only take 3 winners for you to lose money ($904M / 3).

Edit: Nevermind, all it takes is one other person to win and you lose money. I forgot a ticket was $2. So that's $604M to win $904M.

There is a reason why buying tickets is intentionally low-tech -- Tafkam Hokie 10/22/2018 1:19PM

Time prevents 302m tickets. Drawing are Tuesday and Friday's. -- J-Dub 10/22/2018 1:11PM

If you buy them at the store that I play at it would take that clerk 6 year -- fordham 10/22/2018 2:11PM

Well you would have to camp out at the 7-11 for weeks to get all the number -- fordham 10/22/2018 1:06PM

Didn't someone attempt to do this with the VA lottery a few years back? ** -- BayHokie 10/22/2018 1:16PM
