Hoosier Lotto in a dry spellReply
I really don't see how it could be a fraction of a percent though.

$330 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot nears record highReply
Please bear with me; I am going to post a lengthy description of odds calculations for multiple ticket purchases. Please follow the logic, and don't get frustrated. Some folks here are having a difficult time with the mathematics of odds calculations. My guess is that dealing with huge numbers is causing a problem for them.
