When I was in my early 20s I bought $10 of lotto tickets every week. After understanding the odds I realized I was probably just throwing that money away so I stopped playing. I haven’t played for 40 years so $10 a week times 40 years is $20,800.

Good thing you quit buying, that guy behind you won big the very next week! You would of had his ticket.

Nope. I always did quick picks.

How do you know those quick picks didn't have your name on it?

No one in my town, much less where I would have bought tickets from has ever one in the last 40 yrs. That shows how bad the odds are. I’ll take the $20k as a win.

How does it increase the odds?
Statistically helping.

How does it increase the odds?

The odds of losing more money.

Maybe less people will play now that it is higher. That will increase your odds.

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

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.

Odds are neither.
