would you take a job that didn't pay anything and you couldn't work any other jobs (not including SO's or spouses) but every two weeks you had a 1/300 chance of winning five million dollars

Six years (On average and rounding) for 5 mil? Sure, I'd take it if i could keep from starving to death. What's the job? e: even better. Was worried it would be something gay, like sucking dicks e2: oh poo poo, every two weeks, so about 12 years I guess? Hmm, not looking so good anymore op, but probably still yes Scapulor fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Aug 14, 2015 |

While I did gently caress up my math, I think you'd hit the jackpot once every 600 weeks or so, on average. Say 50 weeks a year for simplicity, makes 12 years and you'd be due.

50/50 chance of having gotten 5 mill after 208 intervals = 416 weeks = just shy of 8 years. A little risky, but the expected outcome is decent...

You still fail to grasp how odds work. While you would think that the chances would be greater after so many tries, that's just not how it works. If you flip a coin 20 times and it's always heads, that doesn't increase the likelihood of it coming up tails on flip 20 at all.
