Your math is off on the “buy every possible number” scenario. If you can document them (all of the tickets purchased), you can deduct it from your winnings. The biggest risk in that scenario is splitting the prize. Then the math falls apart real quick.

But more tickets sold increases the probability of splitting the prize.

I pass this one frequently and named it “Fisherman Jesus”. “It was this big ...”

Journalist?

I never realized how noisy LED numbers are when they change ...

Excellent retelling! (I can feel my arm hurting ...)

I have the plates, but I had to cancel them.
