Why is that most well off people always win a large amount of money?

When the jackpots grow to over $100 million, more people play. A larger cross section of people play too. This is why middle class people win. When jackpots are smaller, these people usually sit it out and let lower income classes build up the jackpots. That's the cruel irony of it. The poorer people get the ball rolling and the richer people often win the big prize.

If you're talking about gambling, it's because they have more money so they can take a larger chance but it's really just pure chance.

If you're curious to know why well off people want to spend more money even though they don't know they are better off in society, it's because they have the money and people tend to use the money for themselves as oppose for others. Not everyone is like that though, it's just that money makes people greedy. If someone has the opportunity to get what they want, they'll take it. If they want to donate it, then they'll donate it. All about what the possessor wants. sorry for being so lengthy, I always go off on rabbit trails

What if that guy in a suit just collects for the office pool, so he's got 20 people in for $10 each?

It's extremely irresponsible for poor people to play the lottery. They need that money for food.

I believe that the ONLY people gambling should be the rich. It is extremely irresponsible for poor people to be buying lottery tickets. If you don't have spare money to throw away, then you don't have money to gamble!

Odds. The more money you have to buy tickets the better your chances are.

its all about how the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and theres nothing you can do about it
