Do you feel lucky today? (redux)

[QUOTE="DaveE, post: 6818800, member: 644223"] I find the marketing and psychology aspects of this stuff fascinating. Everyone's excited because the "jackpot" is advertised as $1.9B. Awesome, you may have one chance to win ~$2B! But how much better would your life be if you "only" won $200M, or $20M? Why are people so much more excited to have 1 chance of winning $2B than 100 times more likely chance of winning $20M? Maybe because any analysis would indicate that you won't win anything significant in any case? I have no doubt that the marketing people that advertise this know more about the US consumer than I do. I'm sure they are right to advertise the huge payout. But... it makes no sense to me. [/QUOTE]
