Harvard statistician's advice on playing Mega Millions

[@MaxAdventuresWith7]

Almost there... Max, here. My quest is to share 50% of the cash-value jackpot with many people, including a pledge to donate 10% to helping children with cancer. Somebody will win soon. Good luck to everybody! 🍀😀

Saying that is not gonna increase your chances bro😂

Congratulations to that person who bought the only winning ticket at the Publix Grocery Store in Neptune Beach, Florida.

[@OptimusOne]

In other words, use quick pick!

[@MrMcgooOG]

Buy as many tickets as you can afford. Cash in your 401k, borrow as much as you can, take out a loan against your home. You might win 10,000. This guy should be teaching stats in elementary school

[@CCAnne]

Lol right

[@WinterMadness]

So you're telling me there's a chance?

[@couldbe8348]

Lol

[@First1ToComment]

It's 1.35 now

[@redwolfacutinaantam7725]

So, the odds are basically the same as picking 1 random person from amongst every person living in the U.S. Smh!

[@Ziffel22]

I disagree, I have a better chance of winning the lottery than becoming President. I'm not running for President and never will.

[@cosmo5805]

Do you realize that what’s been presented in this video is not curated specifically for you? You do realize that, right?

[@rickyayy]

​@cosmo5805 are you serious. You see this too

[@Jsbettaroom]

@Ziffel22 I'll vote for you as our new president

[@JoshStPierre]

Most people don't plan on running for president, so by your logic, who is this video curated for then? If not the average person? I know this is a dumb thing to argue about but you started it...@@cosmo5805

You have a better chance to get struck by lightning on a sunny day then hitting this mega.

Good luck 🔮🧙‍♂️🍀

Waste of money🙄

I buy only 1 a week

His math is so useless.

[@michaelyoung2233]

Agree! I’m thinking “this guy is at Harvard??” What he says about “pick random numbers so you don’t have to share” is idiotic

[@matthew-m]

@@michaelyoung2233 Lol what? He's saying pick random numbers so that the odds you share the lottery with others is reduced.

[@mervyncrowley4427]

Have to share the number

[@mirrortv364]

Did this Harvard guest professor actually get paid for showing up on the program and litterally saying nothing?!

[@SisterPatGoad]

I think it was won in Tennessee recently.

[@sknz2109]

This is the type of guy you run from at a party. "Oh geez, look at the time"

[@justadude117X]

The lottery is just a tax on the poor. Thats it. A new sucker is born every minute

[@Lookin4WhoAsked]

Nahhh, you only have a 100% chance of not winning if you don’t play. Set aside $20 a month and buy 10 tickets a month. Doesn’t hurt any body and all it means is you have to eat out one time less for lunch. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@dabaers3194]

I always play when the powerball / mega millions gets really high. The way I look at it, I can spend $4 a week and get lucky. Really nothing compared to people who buy coffee / soda on the daily thats multiple dollars.

[@justadude117X]

@@Lookin4WhoAsked how many times have you won the jackpot?

[@justadude117X]

@@dabaers3194 the fact remains that you are so unimaginably unlikely to win that youre still just throwing away that money. At least an expensive coffee tastes good.

[@Lookin4WhoAsked]

@@justadude117X never won the jackpot, but have hit $1000 twice so that easily has paid for itself 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@clownwrld7]

wouldn't it be funny if these people actually dont play the lottery but paid advertising

[@grantgoldberg1663]

You won't win no matter who you are.

[@JohnMccormick-vj6xh]

The value of mathematics is greatly overrated.

[@cameupstarvin7351]

Only those who accept Allah are able to win the lottery.

What about scratch tickets 🎟??
