Incredibly Depressing Mega Millions Lottery Simulator!
It is really hard to win the Mega Millions lottery. So hard that it can be difficult to comprehend what long odds confront its players.
Why not try for free on this Mega Millions lottery simulator? You’ll be able to try the same numbers over and over, simulating playing twice a week for a year or 10. You’ll never win.
I ran 1040 simulations. It would have cost me $1040. I would have won $243. Not a good return on investment. I actually “win” more by not buying a ticket at all: I avoid the loss of that $797 in ticket purchases.
