Odds are neither.

Exactly

 

[trickpony1]

The odds are set by the numbers not the number of people playing. If 1 person plays or 1 million the odds of hitting the winning number is the same.

Statistically helpful.

Actually I meant it.
Clear, concise and easily understood.
Good job Darmark.

I know, but it’s funny to see you bestow the helpful moniker on someone, it’s your trademark. Lol

Not many are worthy of it.

Less people to share pot when winning?

 

[Over70irregs]

Not sure this is true.
If only two people in the whole world played Mega, which one would win?

If you win you can get this option

Mario kart? We just might have something in common after all. N64 FTW

Only if more than one person picks the winning number. Also the less people that play the smaller the jackpot.

Gosh....I wonder if Mega ticket sales will drop dramatically, if not become nonexistent, after the increase?

I believe people are degenerates. We still shop till we drop. They will use alcohol-weed money. Interesting to find out though.

How does it increase the odds?
Statistically helping.

The odds overall/winning any prize will improve to 1:23 from 1:24. They know most people use winnings to buy more tickets.

Jackpot odds change to 1:290,472,336 from 1:302,575,350.

Odds for the million dollar prize around 1 in 12 million.

I never expect to win but, for a few bucks we are rich for a few days. Somebody always wins, but for $5 I'll pass. Maybe it it gets ridiculously high, I buy one ticket.

I already see people pay $20 to scratch a piece of paper and throw it in the trash can so $5 is a bargain.

Almost half of all lottery players play inconsistently, so will they go for $5? Maybe only if the prize gets high?
