And probably the reason why those jackpot roll as much as the do. If a player bought just five tickets a drawing, it adds up to $300 just to play in a 1/2 billion jackpot. With 352,227,744 tickets sold, there should be just one winning ticket. And the 26 five number matches without the bonus number is about what should be expected with that amount of ticket sales.

I'm a jackpot hunter so I probably won't play MM again until college basketball season. IMO, the days of "a dollar for a dream" no longer exist.
