  - What, you all will not enjoy my taking half of your shares? - Iron Spawn Mar 30, 09:32
  - can we even calculate the odds of someone else in the group buying a ticket with the same numbers as one of ours and that number winning? - Andie Mar 30, 09:32 10

    - I bought two tickets tuesday, one auto pick, one my numbers. - tRu Pad Mar 30, 09:33
    - Same odds as winning? -- nm - Iron Spawn Mar 30, 09:33 7

        My guess --- 1 in 365k or whatever our odds are of winning. - Will Hunting Mar 30, 09:35 3

        from what i learned in math, just add several zeroes. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 30, 09:38
        
        because the odds of me and you having the same numbers (if we had one ticket each) are 1:175,000,000, right? then, a third party draws and picks - Andie Mar 30, 09:34 1
        
        Ah, missed the winning part. -- nm - Iron Spawn Mar 30, 09:36
