Almost like they are trying to distract everyone.

My theory is that it’s rigged. They rake in more tax money that way.
They added more numbers to the pool of available balls. I think in both the base numbers and the powerball/megaball so that your odds of winning have dropped considerably since the games began.
That’s why there are fewer winners and bigger jackpots. They realized there are lots of people who would only play when it gets way up there. So bigger jackpots bring more players and more players means more money for your government.
Plus, doubling the cost to play from $1 to $2 also makes them tons more moo-la.
