Interesting fact:

The official chances of winning the estimated $1.34 billion Powerball Jackpot that took place in early 2016 were about 1 in 292.2 million. Professional analysts insist that the higher the jackpot, the lower the win will really be. This is due to the fact that a higher jackpot amount increases the number of people purchasing tickets. The fact that there are therefore more tickets eligible to win means the odds of having multiple winners rises.
