So with 140 mil as the actual take home, divided by 37 participants, a $2 share = $3.8 mil

A max buy-in of $10 = $18.9 mil.

Responses:

you have to divide by number of tickets (then multiply by number held for each person's share). Currently each share would be under a million. -- nm - zork Nov 26, 13:44 8
- The actual payout is more complicated, as you say. -- nm - TWuG Nov 26, 13:46 1
  - The average buy-in was 4.8 tickets per person, so the average person will take home $3.8 million -- nm - TWuG Nov 26, 13:54
- specifically, $786,517 per share. -- nm - zork Nov 26, 13:45
- I figured it as if everyone put in the $10 -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:45 4
  - then it would be 370 tickets. -- nm - zork Nov 26, 13:46 3
    - Powerball is a $2 ticket -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:48 1
      - ah, yes. sorry. so 3.8 would be close. -- nm - zork Nov 26, 13:57
    - but only 1 will win the grand prize -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:47
cool :) -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:43
