They should lower the price to a dollar. Give higher payouts to winning numbers add more ways to win. Bigger profit.

The government is incapable of running a profitable cat house much less a lottery.

Additionally, the odds of winning the jackpot will go up from 1 in 302 million to 1 in 290 million.Math is hard. And I like those odds. But not for $5 bucks.

Was wondering who made the call on this. Had to dig to find this out: “Mega Millions is a consortium of lotteries, there is generally no “central office” or spokesperson.”

Eons ago I used to play $20 worth of blackjack once or twice a year. When the minimum bet hit $5 I quit, and haven’t been tempted since. When the lottery jackpots hit a billion or so I used to buy one or two tickets. At $5 per I won’t be buying.

Help me figure this out. Is this “shrinkflation” or “price gouging”?
