Mega Millions JackpotReply
There hasn't been a bump up in the jackpot amount. I'm thinking people are becoming financially exhausted with the long odds.

The odds are still astronomical. About the same as you being the only person getting picked out of every person in the U.S.A.

It is fun to think about the absurdity of being able to spend $247,000 a week for 50 years, but this is when the How much is too much? increase of the odds becomes apparent. If there is no winner at the $1 billion maximum ticket buying frenzy level, if 43% of combinations were not covered even at $1 billion, that says to me that the combinations covered probably won't go above 75% even if the jackpot is $2 billion.

Everything you know about the fate of lottery winners is probably wrong, according to scienceReply
There is something funny about this amount. Which would be interesting for this type of study. A billion dollars. Think about it. I wonder if anybody can.

$970 MILLION: Mega Millions ticket-buying frenzy forces new jackpot estimateReply
Maybe one day the MUSL will offer 2nd tier prizes that allow lottery players to vie for million dollar prizes with better odds.

Posters go from whining about playing against these odds not being worth it to developing conspiracy theories that defy logic. The MUSL has one trick up its proverbial sleeves. Wanna guess? Astronomical odds. Everything else evolves on its own. Predicting first time/occasional players behavior is a very hard thing to do. So the lottery adjusts as the rate of play changes drastically. It's this category of player that in large part drives up the JP to these levels and at this rapid pace.
