Can’t believe how few add the multiplier in Powerball

[Reload]

Powerball had the one winner of $1.8B. There were eight who had the five numbers for a $1M consolation.

And how many played the multiplier for an extra $1 to win $2M instead? NONE! It seems only around 20% or so people add the multiplier.

If you’re already sucking yourself in to play, why not go for the extra dollar? You can win much more in the consolation prizes, which is likely all you’ll hit anyway.

instead of 1 winner, why not have 1700 winners who split the prize and get a million each? make many happy instead of 1 person. they obviously control the outcome.

Once you decide to pay the empty hope tax, you might as well win bigger. These eight people are millionaires today but feel like crap at the same time. They will go chasing that second million right away.

Exactly right.

That’s a bummer. But seems like they pay out the consolations pari-mutually? I guess that can work out well sometimes.
