Its a ton of money but they don't really care seeing as how they probably have made a couple hundred billion so far in lottery ticket sales over the past month

Why doesn't someone just wait for the numbers to be called and then buy a ticket with those numbers?

If I won that much money, I would give a lot of it away. I know that sounds naively gracious, but it's true. I don't need hundreds of millions of dollars, nor do I want that much. lol

I just want enough to live comfortably for the rest of my life, not have to work, and basically not worry about money. A few million would take care of that, easily.

The rest? Give a bunch to family, friends, charities, help out people randomly that I encounter. I'd probably even give some to y'all :)

No. There was a guy who did exactly this 6 times in a row and they passed laws saying you can't do that anymore

So if there's no rule against it, a billionaire could theoretically buy one ticket of every single possible combination and make a significant profit if they're the only winner. But if someone else also has the winning numbers and they have to split the money, then it's a loss.

And the higher the jackpot goes, the greater the chances of a billionaire having to split the winnings, since so many more people are going to be buying so many more tickets
