Play $10 and your odds are 17,500,000 to 1

No. Your odds are 175,500,000 to 10

Thanks varyouga. JimRob, if I win, I'll be taking care of the next quarterly.

Same thing. Just drop a zero from both sides.

You are guaranteed to win if you were to play all 175m numbers (1 to 1 odds). However, you would split the jackpot if someone else hits it and most likely net less than $175m.
