I created 10 million powerball entries for tonight's drawing and put them in a file. The sha256 of that file is the private key to 1rn4UCAmX5vK4JdRtEZr84EPiBX8nzVoj, which I deposited 0.0001 btc as proof the file existed before the drawing.

I'll check my numbers and release the private key if I win (along with file location for proof).

Odds: 292 million to 1, so I'm still a huge underdog.

Aaaaaaand..... what is this supposed to prove?  Who gives a rat's ass if you pick the numbers in your 10 million guesses?  If you don't buy a ticket you don't get anything.

proves $20,000,000 in tickets still doesn't get a decent chance at the powerball jackpot. But if I 'win', will be cool to see I had the numbers beforehand.

overall, its a stupid idea, hence the OT category.

Good luck!  Interesting to see if you will be lucky or not.   Smiley

Ok, I will make you a bet now.  If one of your numbers wins the jackpot, I will send you 10,000 satoshis.  If you don't match the winning combination, you send me 10,000 satoshis.

Deal?

But how am I gonna know of one of your numbers won or lost?  I'm not going to take the time to check all your numbers.

Not really fair - you are 29.2 times more likely to win than he is.  You should offer at least 20 to 1 odds.   Wink

Deal. You got even money on 10k satoshis. If you win, however, all you get is a PM with the private key.

how to know: I'll post the file, and will post a bounty to the first person that proves my analysis is incorrect.

what the heck... I'll bet even money that one of my 10 million entries hits to the next 25 people who post an address (and those posted already can participate). 10,000 satoshis (0.0001 btc)

Honor system - if you lose send 10k satoshis to: 121Mc4f3sqZkM23Zy25tNMfKpKXG8AZykW
I'll send 0.0001 to the address you post.

I just figured it out.  At $450 per BTC, a 10,000 satoshi bet equals 4.5 cents!  Big money betting!   Grin

Kind of ironic giving the founder of the currency such an insignificant honour, isn't it?

Winning numbers: 16,19,32,34,57 [13]

I did not produce a winner.

I hit 5+0 (would have won $1 million) 2 times. Expected 0.856
I hit 4+1 ($50k each) 12 times. expected 21.9


Not the best way to spend $20,000,000

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/86383imn0infx8d/AAAL6MZaHt_fTSEDABp-6uf0a?dl=0

sha256 of that file is the private key of 0.0001 btc if anyone wants to sweep it

i'm sending timk 10,000 satoshis

If you have $600 Million you could buy every combination of numbers and just make a little more IF no one else hits it with you.

I'd like to see that mathematical equation to calculate that!
