$1.337 billion winner...
That’s why I won’t play. One winner for $1.337 billion.
Now, if they divided that into 1,337 x $1,000,000 prizes, I’d throw in a couple bucks for tickets.
Or...13,370 x $100,000 prizes...I’d buy a lot of tickets.
And, I bet, a lot MORE people would play.
IT could have just as easily been multiple ticket winners.
ALOT of people already did play to get to this jackpot.
The winner is getting $1.337 BILLION dollars. I think they have enough people playing.
You would lose that bet.
Huge lotteries’ purpose is getting people to voluntarily pay extra money to governments, not to make the maximum number of people happy.
If you were accurate, games like Lotto America would draw more money than MM and PB. Lotto America’s big jackpot odds are about 26 million to one versus MM’s 302+million to one. LA’s current jackpot is over $17 million.

A local radio show had an official from the Ohio Lottery on during a big prize run a few years ago. One of the callers proposed that. He said that the state does have lower value draws in the few million range and says that the sales aren't nearly as big as the Mega Millions and Power Ball. People want the big prize.
I admit that I was a sucker for this and bought a few tickets. When the saleslady asked which I wanted, I told her the Mega Millions because who wants to win a mere $100 million on Power Ball. It's hardly worth the effort to pick up the check if I had won that. She laughed at my admitted silliness of which level of more money than I could ever spend I wanted.

Only one winner with so many people playing. I am now totally convinced that the winner is a Deep Stater with nefarious foundations / trusts.

The above amounts are pennies to the Deep State .
I agree with you. The jackpot can be large, but spread over multiple winners. No need for ONE winner.
