Reading people’s replies it seems like many are misunderstanding the expected value of a ticket. You may want to add another column to the table of odds showing what percentage a ticket’s hypothetical payout is from each prize, or just what the average loss per ticket is.
Also, at one point I messed up which pattern on Mega Millions tickets were winners. Something about that big X in a separate column just subconsciously seemed like it was showing winners. Perhaps dashes vs checks or groupings winning and non winning tickets together.
