Let them change the odds and drop the price to .50/line

They already changed it once and got record jackpots recently. I would prefer they stay the same as I would rather spend $1.00 for better odds, and I buy MM more often than PB because of that. So I don't think PB is making MB look bad at all, if anything PB looks bad and a lot less likely to win. People are only buying into the hype because it finally got so high and broke all records because they made it harder to win. So most would rather play MM when they are lower.

Good point. Rebranding it as Mega Billions with a new insane matrix with odds of winning measured in the billions. The name Mega Millions now seems nearly as silly as having a game called Mega Thousands. Or I suppose Mega Millions could keep the same name like Motel 6 and Super 8 did, despite motel rates increasing, and cater to the budget player who balks at spending more than $1 per line.
