Ok, so I was at the convenience store the other day, and aparently the "mega" Lotto in california is near 340 million... and I had to wait in line for several minutes while people were rushing to get their tickets... My question... how is it that when the lottery is at the beginning amount of 7 million, there are not as many people playing it .... but as soon as it grows to this insanely high number, there are people in the masses waiting to get their ticket, but why? If I were not willing to risk loosing a dollar for a payout of 7 million... at what point does the jackpot become big enough to risk the one dollar for a ticket.... I just don't get it... I obviously dont play the lottery but if I did, I think I would be just a pleased to win 7 million with my one dollar....as opposed to "waiting" to play until the jackpot reached the large numbers..... what do you think?: at what point is the reward great enough to risk you dollar?
