Putting the Lottery in Perspective
Come on Mega-Millions!
There are a few assumptions in these calculations.
If you are the sole winner:
$85,000,000 cash (after taxes) = 10,285,000,000Y
In a parlor, you could 'rent' 2,571,250,000 balls.
Firing 1 ball per second, assuming you didn't win anything, it would take you 177.89 years to play them all (parlor open 11 hours a day).
To win that kind of money would take 25,712,500,000 balls or 11,427,778 fevers (2250 balls per fever).
