[QUOTE="riffraff, post: 1177429, member: 10647"] I recall reading a recent article showing that statistically the best time to buy a ticket is at somewhere between $250k and $272k jackpot based on the correlation between jackpot, number of participants at any given level, and the individual payout received due to the likelihood of splitting the jackpot with multiple winners as the number of participants increases. In other words you are more likely to get the best result from buying a ticket on occasion if you happen to win by participating when the jackpot is big but not too big and then taking the lump sum and investing it wisely.
