The number picker's dilemma

Willie Richards, who works for the U.S. Marshals Service at a federal courthouse in Atlanta, figured if there ever was a time to confront astronomical odds, it was when $640 million was at stake. He bought five tickets.

"When it gets as big as it is now, you'd be nuts not to play," he said. "You have to take a chance on Lady Luck."

All lottery jackpot amounts have life changing impacts. Why do so many throw in on super jackpots only and not bother otherwise?
