Turns out, it wasn't the largest jackpot ever, so I didn't want it anyway.

I am sorry but I don't agree with that. Nobody has predetermined set of time in life when they are going to win and nobody deserves to win more than the others.

Everybody has equal chance to win but with the odds of 1 out of 175 millions, the odds are stacked against us.

No one is asking you to agree with me, this is a discussion forum.
Funny how people will say of people passing away " it was just their time", but when used in this context Red- its wrong?

Nobody is preset from birth to die at a certain time unless they have a birth defect but even that is not very sure.

With thousands of people hoping to win it and only 10-20 jackpot winners a year, a lot of people time is never going to exist and only the ones who buy a ticket will ever have a chance of winning it regardless of the time. The reality is the odds of ever winning it are 1:175,000,000 and that's only when you buy a ticket.
