Lottery Simulator – your odds of losing are incredible!

You know the saying “You gotta be in it, to win it!” ?  You also gotta be in it, to lose it, and that’s pretty much what happens to everyone, according to the facts. With this simulation, pick any 5 numbers and a Mega Millions number, then run the simulation for up to 10 years of playing twice a week.  Guess what?  Even playing for 100s of simulated years, the best I was able to do was win back about 15% of my investment each decade.  That’s right, my best results were a loss of 85%.  Try it out here.
