The Washington Post did the analysis - neither advisable or doable.
"Of course, another strategy would simply be to buy up every single ticket combination. That would cost $176 million. But youâd be guaranteed to win about $293 million after taxes. Good deal, right? But thereâs one big hitch: âFirst, if it takes five seconds to fill out each card, youâd need almost 28 years just to mark the bubbles on the game tickets. Youâd also use up the national supply of special lottery paper and lottery-machine printing ink well before all your tickets could be printed out.â (Also, if just one other person picked the winning number, youâd end up losing $30 million all told.)"
