    Anyone out there willing to play Powerball with me??

    All I need from you is R 85,523,130 and we can play.

    From my calculations the 1 - 45 balls choosing 5 gives you a total of 1,221,759 combination's. Then adding the possibilities of the 20 "powerball" balls to that comes to the 24,435,180 total combinations.

    Take that and multiply it by the R3.50 per ticket and you have what it will cost you to buy the powerball game :idea:

    Anyone game??

    lol

    all you need is 85bar to make 90bar
    so if some1 else gets the winning numbers aswell it will cost you 85bar to make 45bar
    total loss of 40bar
    not a good gamble if you have the 85bar to spend

    So the odds of 24,435,180 is not looking to good, but I'm playing tonight...
    OOOO I'll have a lovely tank build for me...
    I'll order R10 000 plants through Henk every week and give it to everyone on the forum FOC!!!
    I'll even help allot of people setup their dream tank. Anyone looking for Red Arowana / Super Red Arowana / Chili Red Arowana only tank??

    OK wake up, WAKE UP!!! :mad::mad::mad: Damn was sleeping at my desk. Drifted a bit there...

    Only problem if you spend 85 to make 90 is if someone else plays 1 ticket and gets the same number and you only get 45 :p
