It's mentioned that some states were looking at dropping Powerball because the jackpots were won too often and didn't grow big enough to generate excitement. Maybe this points to the fact that people are playing -- and paying -- for the excitement? After all, if your goal was to actually win the jackpot, it seems like you'd be one of the ones playing every week. But there obviously weren't enough of those people to keep the game going.
