If I were Filthy Rich

+38 MY best lottery advice

I have won a few six figure prizes in various things, not just lottery. The best advice on playing tickets is to ONLY play game where the top prize is in relation to the odds. If I win I want my money in the best possible spot. If a lottery is 20 mil and lump is 10 mil the odds of winning better be 10 mil or less. In all honesty I would rather account for the taxes as well. If the odds of winning a lottery are about 10 mil to 1 I wan to ONLY play when it is about 30 mil to 1. 15 is lump and you get 9-10 mil after taxes. That is the BEST advice you can get!

+15 @stilloriginal Let me try to improve this for you. If the odds in winning your local lottery are 1 in 23 million and powerball is 1 in 300 million, dont play powerball if its less than 15x the local jackpot…. Just play the local one
