I admire the guy’s investment strategy.  I wonder if he’s taken the wrong idea from that e-trade commercial.

Had you purchased every single Mega ticket in the last week you would have not won anything. That’s what “roll over” means. Good luck to him.

I’m not sure that’s quite accurate.  You wouldn’t have won the jackpot, but there were over four million winners of lesser prizes.

Your point is well taken however.
