Was it mega or powerball that changed their odds to create this mania? I studied statistics and this sort of stuff haunts me. We are a gullible society.

Don’t give in to this crap. Please.

Says the guy who bought one ticket and sacrificed a daily candy bar lol.

Quoting myself here. Found an article.

Since last October, Price doubled from $1 to $2. And the odds of top prize went from 1 in 258 million range to 1 in 302. The United States population is right at 326 million. So let that sink in. They did all this because of fears of jackpot fatigue. And where does all this tax money and this lump sum percentage difference go.

Almost feels like a dollar at 1 in 258 mil is better than $2 at 1 in 302 mil. Snakes. Snakes and we can’t realize it.
