I'd rather have X odd of winning $1 million than X/10 odd of winning $10 million or X/1000 odds of winning $100 million.
I was just thinking the same thing. The bigger they get the harder they are to win, and no one need a billion dollars anyway. This is from someone who has never bought a lottery ticket or played a slot machine but I don't get the appeal. To each his/her own. If anyone here wins, your second call should be to Slava for financial advice.
