ok, that explains it.
still seems like way too many people are talking about it though, it's not like any of you are winning it.

Don't worry, the drawing is in 20 minutes and then it will all stop.

True.
Someone WILL win... Earlier today, 42 thousand tickets were being sold every minute in Texas... that makes 2.52 mil tickets an hour... But the last drawing was Tuesday, and approx 3 days has passed since then... If 42k tickets were sold every minute for 72 hours... that's 181,440,000... That's just Texas alone... Now think about the other states that participates in the lottery... The odds are higher that someone WILL win.

The media is promoting it. People parrot what they see in the media.

Because people are crazy like that. "Oh, higher winnings? That surely means I have a higher chance of winning and throws everything I know about lotteries out the window."

I'm pretty sure nobody thinks they have a higher chance of winning.
