Using the Incredibly Depressing Mega Millions Lottery Simulator you can feed your favorite balls into a program that then runs them through 10 years of simulated lottery draws. You are then shown an utterly mollifying breakdown of all 1040 draws.
At the bottom you can see how much money the next ten years will cost you, and how much you stand to gain. For $1040 spent, the average winnings are only $90. After 10 page reloads, my maximum winnings were a massive $114.
With a truly minuscule return rate of 10%, you'd really be better off gambling on almost anything else. You'd certainly be better off playing roulette or poker at a casino, that's for sure. But, having said that, you have to be in it to win it!
