If there are more than one winning ticket, the jackpot is divided amongst the winners.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

They also pay for matching just some of the numbers. From $2 USD to $1M USD (I believe it is 2 it might be 1 for matching the powerball only)

Statistically there are only some 290 million odd different number sets possible. If tens, or hundreds, of millions of players buy 10 - 20 tickets each, there are for sure going to be multiple identical number sets. It's unavoidable!

Imagine winning it and then finding out that some lunatic also won but he bought a 100 identical numbers. So you'll only get 1/101th of the winnings!

Tenth of a tenth rather. But the jackpot is normally not this high. It's usually between 30-150 million. So you go from thinking you won that sorta money and then end up finding you actually won 1/100th of that. can't be a good feeling. Factor in 39% fed tax and what you do you have?

You're greedy! I could live on one million! But then, I never ask for much.

Lunatic?! You mean...Genius!!
I always buy multiple winning tickets with the same winning numbers, just in case someone else happens to buy my winning numbers.

Given the odds of winning the jackpot at all, it would be silly to buy the same numbers (i.e. you don't help your already bad odds by getting the same numbers).

With all that lottery craze going around, it's hard to tell who's joking!

Kenya see who's winning? Iran up to Czech and two guys were Russian to the Finnish line – I think it’s gonna be a Thai!
