"A jackpot-winning ticket must match all five numbers drawn from a pot containing 56 balls and then match the Mega Ball, which is drawn from a pot containing 46 numbers. Odds of winning are almost 176 million to 1. Each ticket costs $1."

If I'm reading this right (too lazy to crunch the numbers) for $176 million, you can buy one of every ticket.  Because "Friday's $476 million prize is payable as an annuity over 26 years," it seems like it would make for a decent return-on-investment.

If only I had the $176 million...
