Can you imagine if 1 person wins it ALL? People aren't just gonna stalk him for money they're going to hate him. You'd literally have to vanish off the face of the earth. If you live in a state where you have to show your face, you're essentially phucked. You'll be hounded by the media to no end.

- change name
- move to new state
- send up 2nd blind trust with you as executor and beneficiary
- set up trust account
- put on wig and grow huge beard
- redeem ticket as executor and state that beneficiary wishes to remain anonymous
- deposit funds in 2nd blind trust
- transfer funds to 1st blind trust
- close 2nd blind trust
- move back
- change name back
The only paper trail after that would be to a false name in the wrong state for a blind trust that is closed.

Technically, if they wanted to..... they could tell the computer to pick numbers that NOBODY picked in the entire country.....
but next time I am not using computer picks. It picked a lot of 24's, 3's, and 1's on my 10 tickets.
Next time I will pick it.

It's rigged. Computer will draw numbers that no one has picked so that no one wins and jackpot goes up like crazy due to more and more people buying each drawing and states get a chitload of additional tax revenue.

Such as the mega ball being the same on two of them and the numbers in the strings of 5 numbers having a lot of overlap. This is what makes me not trust the machines. Imagine an xy graph with each combination of 5 numbers enumerated on the x axis and each mega number on the y axis. On that graph, if I buy 10 tickets, I don't want them all clustered near each other. I would want them spread about the graph. I know it doesn't affect my probability of winning mathematically, but it makes my OCD happier.Technically, if they wanted to..... they could tell the computer to pick numbers that NOBODY picked in the entire country.....

"Your chances of winning the $654 million Mega Millions jackpot are a jaw-dropping 302,575,350 to 1, while the likelihood of taking home the $345 million Powerball prize is only slightly better at 292,201,388 to 1. The odds of winning both are 1 in 88 quadrillion (that's 15 zeros), according to CNBC"

Hardest thing would be people hassling your parents/brothers/sisters/aunts/uncles trying to get at you. Or dealing with THEM if your family sucks.

It just comes down to luck really buy yourself a $2 ticket and hope you win. The more people who buy tickets the more numbers combinations created, the bigger chance for someone to win.I know.

At this point you are getting in the scary range of money 1.6 billion, you will need to relocate your family you care about for sure if you win. You will no longer be able to go in regular bars or stores anymore. You may want to hire body guards at all time, even at 5-10 million you would want body guards on the regular. Hope that you have people that love you already because at 1.6b everyone loves you you won't know when it's real anymore. As good ole bobby axelrod puts it's being a billionaire is like having perfect set of tits and ass 10/10 everyone wants a peice of it.
I just want to share the knowledge I have obtained throughout my life and hopefully change someone's life.

No one is ever too good to buy one.
Just buy one, and throw your hat in the ring boyos.

There is no patterns, just bad odds because of the range of numbers therefore lower chance to win. The combination of numbers is insane which is why it's so hard to win. It just comes down to luck really buy yourself a $2 ticket and hope you win. The more people who buy tickets the more numbers combinations created, the bigger chance for someone to win.
At this point you are getting in the scary range of money 1.6 billion, you will need to relocate your family you care about for sure if you win. You will no longer be able to go in regular bars or stores anymore. You may want to hire body guards at all time, even at 5-10 million you would want body guards on the regular. Hope that you have people that love you already because at 1.6b everyone loves you you won't know when it's real anymore. As good ole bobby axelrod puts it's being a billionaire is like having perfect set of tits and ass 10/10 everyone wants a peice of it.

It's not possible to generate a truly random number on a deterministic machine. A computer is by definition a deterministic machine.

Because of that fact, one has to always be skeptical unless you yourself programmed the algorithm. That's all I said above. That I didn't trust the programmers (because I don't know them or what algorithm is in use). Skepticism is healthy. It keeps people honest.
