This is the only photo I could snap since she’s in the first row & I’m literally in the last row.

Suggested Payouts: Powerball, Mega Millions & Lotto America
Don't need a multiplier, just proper payouts.

Formula we used is, where 1 in [Lottery Odds] is used to calculate the payout:
=ROUND( [Lottery Odds] /10,IF((1-INT((LN( [Lottery Odds] )/LN(10))-1))<=0,1-INT((LN( [Lottery Odds] )/LN(10))-1),0))
Payouts should refect the lottery odds.
In our opinion, the payouts should be the following:

The 4 + 0 and 3 + 1 payouts are really inadequate for the lottery odds we are betting against.
