Comment on You can't win the lottery

You and many people, lowering your chances even more.
You are just donating money at that point.

I’m fine with donating like $5 every couple years. Also no, more people buying Powerball tickets doesn’t reduce chances to win at all, it’s not a raffle. The only thing that decreases with more players is, potentially, the payout assuming multiple winners.
