yeah; I know the ‘if you don’t play, you can’t win’ mantra’.
The thing is you should buy tickets when the pot is smaller.
Odds improve greatly.
Also, relying on Providence, only one (1) ticket needs to be acquired to win.
jus’sayin...

Your odds of winning don’t change. The odds are the odds. The chances of sharing is affected by the size of the jackpots.

How so? The numbers are going to be the same set of winning numbers whether there are ten ticket buyers or 10 billion ticket buyers.

That would be incorrect....the odds are always the same.
