Most would consider going all in with 4 aces less of a gamble than opening a bank account. They said it was one in 2.7 billion to have 4 aces and a royal flush on the same hand. But what want to know is what are the odds when 3 of cards needed for a royal flush are showing?

Almost as high as the Mega Millions Lottery Odds!
;D

Too bad the pot wasn't a lot bigger.

Yeah, you got that right.  I don't even play until it gets to about 3/4 of a billion dollars...not worth my time for lesser amounts.

It says the cash option was $341 million. That's about $170 million after taxes. With that kind of money I could farkle my bike almost as much as ZG ;D

Possibly, but he's always one step ahead.

Better that they get it from Lottery winnings, gambling, booze, cigs, etc., than take more out of my pay check.  Mostly the folks living off the taxpayer buying lotto tickets anyway.

That almost sounds like Jealousy ;) 

I won the lottery back in 1980, my wife had met me once before, she knew my first name, but not my last, she saw an article in the paper from a logging rodeo where I had managed to place in a few events, got my name, found me in the phonebook, and the rest is history ;D  I married her shortly after she turned 16.  I think the average marriage expectancy was under 6 months.  Boy, were they wrong :finger_fing11:
