I have a theory on the Powerball. I’d have to get rich first, then spend copious amounts on tickets and always change stores I purchase my tickets from. Alas, I been trying to get rich a long time. Just ain’t working out for me. 😞 ---

I saw that there were two winning tickets for the $600 million Power Ball. I wondered if maybe I’d won. But then I remembered that I didn’t buy a ticket. 😛 ---

As I understand it (and it may be faulty 'cause I ain’t no statistician), the odds that a _specific_ ticket will win are _terrible_, but the odds that at least one ticket will win are actually pretty good. Statistics must occupy a whole Schrodinger’s world of their own. ---
