It's irrational, which means it has an infinite number of decimcal places.
I've memorised it to about a dozen places, but I hardly ever need that precision. Only if I'm writing a program for a computer that doesn't have a convenient constant version.
Of course they didn't. I'm pretty certain I would've heard about it if they had.
The most anyone's ever won on the lottery at our store was on a scratch lotto ticket. My coworker RK. She won TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. I know this because I actually SAW the winning ticket she had.
J2K: *wanders up to food court*
RK: *excitedly* Jay, Jay, I know I won something, but how much did I win?
I know the gist of the little letter codes the VA State Lottery puts on the scratch tickets (basically, if you see the letters D, B, P, or Z, you didn't win), so I take the ticket, spot a T right off the bat on the side, but can't see the others yet.
J2K: *points to T* Well you definitely won something, let's see... *reads down the ticket, checking for winning parts* Ooh, one thousand... two... three... four... five... .........TEN thousand dollars!
The ticket had ten mini-games on it, all of which had winning scenarios, and all of which paid out $1000. So she won $10,000. Every employee in the store was congratulating her, and I even broke the news to GM JC.
J2K: RK just won $10,000!
GM JC: She did not!
I felt bad in a way for DF, our maintenance guy who, every day, played two or three of those exact same scratchers. He'd played two that day and busted. RK tells him, "You should buy another one, I think you might win." DF says nah. So RK goes and buys one... and she wins. DF never really got over that.
