A lot of people may be thinking today that if you want to beat the tremendously extreme odds of winning a record high lottery jackpot, you should probably buy your ticket in California.
That’s because the winning tickets in the two biggest jackpots ever, the $1.765 billion dollar drawing Wednesday night and the winning ticket in the $2.04 billion dollar drawing one year ago next month were both sold in California.
The odds of anyone winning lottery jackpots is calculated to be one in 292.2million. But it appears that winning these big jackpots may be slightly, if only a still incredibly tiny better if you buy a ticket in the state with the biggest population.
A lot of people who don’t buy lottery tickets on a regular basis say they do buy one when the jackpots become this huge. And why not, for only two dollars a ticket, there’s little to lose.
But there are some people, and you may be one of them, who say winning one of these giant jackpots may not be something they really want.
Oh sure, you will have a lot more and it will change your life. But based on stories from some past winners, it doesn’t necessarily change your life in all good ways.
Money may buy some happiness, but being happy is about a lot more than even a lot of money.
