      Ha. You're right. I read it somewhere else and didn't do the math. My bad. Damm.

        Aside from the mathematics failure, this would not "cure" poverty. It would just inflate the price of everything in every store in the country and put us right back where we started.

          That math doesn't make any sense. Everybody only gets $4.00. That's it.

            Got two tickets today, so I'm now $6 deep into this cycle. I've had much more than $6 of enjoyment talking about things to spend winnings on, so I'm not going to look at it as wasted cash. I've definitely spent $6 on worse things.

                Guys at my work are going in on it. We'll probably wind up with about 20 tickets, reducing our odds of winning to 13.5 million to 1.

                    Yeah, it was some sort of joke and I fell for it. It happens.

                          The other problem is there are 322 million Americans now. So everyone would get around $4.03, not even $4.33

                            which then means that every American can use that money to buy two more Powerball tickets!
