multimillionaires would do this all the time if it were that simple.

you need to take into account all the duplicate tickets created. Something that truly can't be planned for.

I always enjoy reading things, from a probability standpoint, that you are more likely to do/happen to you besides winning the lottery.
shit like (not sure if true), you're more likly to get struck by lightning 4 times in the same day than win the powerball. you're more likely to to see parking fees at Arrowhead reduced, than you are winning the lottery. People at my work are going nuts over this shit. everyday a new 'pool' is started. they look at me like I'm crazy when I say 'no thanks'. ****, my luck is so shitty, a coin flip is bad odds for me.

Some kids at MIT found a way to do this with a state lottery, but it's too difficult to gather enough tickets for the Powerball or Mega Millions.

I seem to recall in the early 90's when the jackpot got up to like 350 million, there was some large conglomerate that bought up all the possible combinations (at that time the odds were like 1 in 180 million) and the jackpot wound up being split by like 7 tickets. So those guys lost their asses. Which was rather poetic.
