The chances are too slim. Buy a small ticket and don't expect a win.

Slim..but not none. I know one person whose father hit for >$1M. My mother knows 3 other people who hit the lottery for over $1M.

But you could be buying tickets all your life with all the money you have and still not win. Thats why I said best thing to do is buy tickets without any expectations. It reduces disappointment.

This one is $2...a small amount for the possible return...no need to spend crazy money...I spent a whole $2 for the Monday drawing...of course lost.

You would make no dent in the probability unless you go beyond $100k in tickets.
Its best to simply play for the fun of it, not expect anything and not get addicted to it.
If anything, its great for weekly fun conversations like if I had $298 million (what would be left after cash value and taxes)

Winning powerball doesn't always positively change lives of winners. Some people have lost everything and came down to where they started. Some people have died. Happiness is almost not guaranteed even if you make good use of money.
