Actually, the chances of winning ANY prize amount is 1:40...
The chances of hitting the JACKPOT is roughly 1:175,711,536
I bought my ticket with two sets of numbers and it was $2.00 with no megaplier....

that's insane.
"If you Win?
For every million dollars won, you will receive approximately $38,500 per year before taxes."
that's over 12 million gross per year at 315 mil!
