beat: $315m powerball winner now broke

[kiemo]

I have always wondered what the house edge in the lottery actually calculates out to be. I gotta think it trumps keno as the worst for the player.

Personally I have spent no more then 50 bucks in my life buying powerball tickets and I have never won anything back. And I think I would personally prefer winning a smaller amount (less then 10 million) then one of the huge jackpots. Too much money without earning it changes a persons life and probably not for the better in most instances.
