With the Mega Millions Lottery reaching over $540 million, the $176 million required to pick all the possible combinations seems like a good investment.
Even after taxes, that is at least a 60% return on your money.
Of course, you should have already started, because:
- It would take you well over three years (working 8 hours a day 7 days a week) to fill out all the cards.
- It would take the lottery machine and attendants (working 24×7) a whole month to print out all the tickets.
- And all those people standing behind you in line would get really annoyed.
But these are minor technicalities.
Good luck to everyone playing the lottery tonight – and let me know if you win.
I’d love to be your investment advisor.
