That’s my thinking. Since the odds are the same regardless of jackpot amount the larger payoff increases the value of the bet/risk.

Alas, I studied statistics in college. So if I buy any tickets it will be to teach my daughter ‘how-to-lose-money-gambling-we-could-have-spent-on-squishies’

And now that the jackpot is around 1.6 billion....

I can’t even imagine that kind of money.
