If you increase the price to increase the Jackpot, THEN

If you decrease the Jackpot, you decrease the price.

Thats called SCIENCE!!!

.. It'z called COMMON SENSE..which is very uncommon.. and a quality lacking in Leaderz, Law Makerz Politicians today... Most are more driven by greed and corruption than Morals..

Well wouldn't it be fair to decrease the price back to the $1?

Seems like false advertising if you ask me. Aren't their laws that are written to protect the public against these type of shenanigans

Its called MATH. Modus Tollens.

If you increase the price to increase the Jackpot, THEN

If you decrease the Jackpot, you decrease the price.

When you talk about probability, you are talking about the skill of playing the lottery. They are not the same. Make sense?

Nooo, you're NOT making sense.. Probability iz about predicting ANYTHING..ThunderStorms, Asteroid Impacts, Stock market crash, Presidential Elections, Lotteries, Sports game's outcomes..etc

Math duzzn't care WHUT thingz you're computing..whut's really required iz critical reasoning... not automatic assumptions..git some!

They reduced the starting jackpot to 20 million back in March of 2020.

When did they reduce the starting JP to 20 million?

I thought the 40 million JP was a major selling point for the $2 cost of the ticket?

Those people making errors, they work to hard.

Give them a raise

Lots of states have 6/49 games, but if much easier to get the right combo out of 13,983,816 playing the Canadian Lottery, I'll pack my bags

I know, I know.... When I said odds, I mean the lottery. You have to choose the right lottery to play first. So odds is important.

When you talk about probability, you are talking about the skill of playing the lottery. They are not the same. Make sense?

I studied math so I shall know what odds I have before I choose which lottery to play. Then after I choose it, I need to figure out which way to play to have the best probability of winning.

Well, I guess that make sense. But for me, I will just play whatever will win me a big jackpot with the best odds, lol. Winning the lottery is all about the odds, plus a bit of luck.

Well, I guess one reason is that the United States players will typically not be in a position to play Canadian games.

Why would anyone play the PowerBall with 1 in 292,201,338 chances of winning $20m when you can go for Canada Lotto 6/49's 1 in 13,983,816 winning $36m? Tax free
