Oh. And I didn’t kniw the powerball was a $2 ticket. I assumed it was $1. But the good news is even if you bought every single number at $2/you would still come out ahead if you are the only winner with the current jackpot

…well I guess that depends if you can write off the cost of your lottery tickets as a business and or investment expense and use it to offset your gain from winning.otherwise, if you can’t write it off, you will probably not come out ahead after taxes.
