I wonder what he would do if he actually won...

Personally though, I think 100,000 people are going to win $20,000 each.

Ya, but they had to share with two other tickets, so no 1.5 Billion. $500 Million... almost seems to be a waste of time, objectively...

And if you want it in one lump sum its about 265 million before taxes. So you walk away with maybe 150 million. Hardly the 1.5 billion you were thinking you would get. What a jip.

Upvoted already at the YouTube still image.

As a side note, you could call a lottery "a tax for those bad at math".

And - to actually increase your winnings - avoid patterns in your chosen numbers. Why? Because if you do win the jackpot, fewer people will have the same numbers as you do, and thus the payout is larger.
Don't pick 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - that's probably the most played number combination, and thus the payout will be miniscule. Those playing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and similar combinations are in reality sponsoring the jackpot of all the other players.
