This friday there is a 130Million CHF jackpot in the euromillion.

Do you plan to play? Alone or with colleagues?
If you win, what would be the first thing you plan to do?

1. I'll get my parents a house
2. Ill get my gf's mom a house
3. I'll throw a huge EF-KFC-Free-Beer-for-all-party
4. I'll take the next plane out of here.

1. I'll punt the price of a coke from a Kiosk when the potential reward is the same order of magnitude as the odds of collecting

2. Me.

Shouldn't this poll have 76,275,360 options?

I use to play with colleagues. The fun part was the discussion before the draw. It was interesting to listen to the dream each one had if we won.
The tricky part was: who was going to keep the original receipt as it's the only valid document to claim gain. The final agreement was to give it to someone who had a family to protect: low mobility, easy to spot and find; singles were singled out

Are those the odds of winning (76,275,360:1), or is that the winning combo?

5 number out of 50 + 2 numbers out of 9
What are the probabilities of winning.... One chance corresponding to as many people as there are on earth ?

Mathnut where are you ?

I'd say about 130 million.

I'll allow you to do the actual sum. Need some extra fingers?

5/50 x 4/49 x 3/48 x 2/47 x 1/46 x 2/9 x 1/8

100% of the winners did try one's luck

I see 2 mugs and tokens for 4 players on the board....is the next generation en route ?

Yep - works out to one in 76-million-odd.

Chances of a "near miss" - say with all but one number correct - are much much higher, on the order of one in 1.5 million.

I actually played with my mum.

First time, so was more by curiosity than by cupidity.....



but I know what I would do if we were to win.....

...I'll open a KFC in Switzerland if I win.

I think I would just give my ticket to LiB. He seams to know what to do with it

..Begga, I knew I could count on you.
