"In the 156845 times this simulation has run, players have won $1686353 And by won I mean they have won back $1686353 of the $156845 they spent (1075%)."

This part seems to fluctuate pretty wildly. But it's a very cool and intuitive way to show people the low chance of them winning the lottery.
Weird, why would it be showing you that? That's a message telling people they can at least triple their money playing the lottery. Mine instead shows the much more expected
"In the 3986493 times this simulation has run, players have won $180090 And by won I mean they have won back $180090 of the $3986493 they spent (4%)."
I'm still getting weird results on both Chrome and Firefox. Did you try more than once? Could you try again now?
Could someone else provide results?
In the 419991 times this simulation has run, players have won $1811922 And by won I mean they have won back $1811922 of the $419991 they spent (431%).
"In the 5617525 times this simulation has run, players have won $664073 And by won I mean they have won back $664073 of the $5617525 they spent (11%)."
Either it's buggy or there is some tampering with data going on.
Also, several Redditors claim to have won - maybe the simulator is just poorly programmed.
It's an integer overflow - it wraps around at either 2^31, 2^32/100, or 2^32. I wasn't patient enough to refresh the page enough times to figure out which.
