It make perfect sense. People are greedy. Winning 1.3 billion is better than 500-800 million

Your chances of winning 500 million are probably better when the payout is 500 million than when it is 1.3 billion. When it is 1.3 billion the chances of duplicate winners sharing the pot goes way up.

I bet there are 4 winners next Wednesday.

Only now is it a fair game. Odds are 1 in 300 million. The ticket costs $2. The winner will be lucky to clear 700 million. So this is about the only time the odds are in the players’ favor.
