Reply to comment by Sharp-Anywhere-5834 in No Mega Millions jackpot winner; estimated prize now $640 million by Minezenroll

>There are so many hundreds of millions of dollars jackpots that every American could eventually end up with a million dollars

Not quite. For every American to get 1million, there would have had to be 300,000,000,000,000 in lottery. 300 trillion. The amount given out so far is not even 1 trillion.

What if you exclude children and only include tax paying individuals beneath a certain income limit?

So only 50 trillion then, when not even 1 trillion has been given out in all lotteries ever. Still quite a ways off.

Okay, 25,000 to each person once 1 trillion is achieved

I realize how stupid this all is. Thank you
