I'm good 
So let me get this straight, you pick 6 different numbers from 1 to 49 plus a bonus number so 42^7 possible combinations and then once a week six numbers are drawn at random and if your numbers match those drawn you win? With odds like 230,539,333,248:1 how could you lose? I like these calculations:
If you are 25 you have 2080 649 draws left before you retire. Simply choose the odds you wish to play from the chart below. For comparison blackjack has odds of 5:4 which means the house will win 20% more hands than you will. To have the same odds in the 649 you would need to purchase roughly 45 billion tickets per week.
1:1 odds = 230,539,333,248 tickets
2:1 odds = 115,269,666,624 tickets
4:1 odds = 57,634,833,312 tickets
8:1 odds = 28,817,416,656 tickets
16:1 odds = 14,408,708,328 tickets
32:1 odds = 7,204,354,164 tickets
64:1 odds = 3,602,177,082 tickets
128:1 odds = 1,801,088,541 tickets
256:1 odds = 900,544,270 tickets
512:1 odds = 450,272,135 tickets
1024:1 odds = 225,136,067 tickets
2048:1 odds = 112,568,033 tickets
4096:1 odds = 56,284,016 tickets
8192:1 odds = 28,142,008 tickets
16384:1 odds = 14,071,004 tickets
32768:1 odds = 7,035,502 tickets - did you know that the quarts crystal in your watch vibrates at 32768Hz? Cool huh?
65536:1 odds = 3,517,751 tickets

It's been so long I don't even know why I owe you dinner. I'm ready to pay up - as soon as you come to town.
