Better than the Powerball?

Lottery mining with a Bitaxe 401, I'm averaging ~800Gh. Via https://solochance.com/ my odds of winning a block reward are ~1 in 638,700,000.

Powerball odds are ~1 in 292,201,338.

2 Powerball drawings per week, 1 block every ~10 minutes.

Chances of winning per week:

•BTC block reward: Approximately 0.000001578 (or 1.578 x 10^-6)

•Powerball jackpot: Approximately 0.000000006844 (or 6.844 x 10^-9)

Hitting a block reward mining with a Bitaxe 401 is about 230 times more likely than hitting the Powerball

Love the math on this

Did I fuck up somewhere?

Not at all. I was appreciating how you went through the effort to look into this.

I'm actually infinitely more likely to hit a block reward than the powerball...

Because I don't play the powerball..
