There's a reason why the jackpots seem bigger...

It's so funny that Forbes seem to mistaken Portland Oregon for Portland Maine? They quote their own article that says "Maine Winner Nabs $1.35 Billion Mega Millions Jackpot.."

I was doubting myself but the apnews article shows a video with Oregon Lottery and mentions of Salem and Oregon laws... I'm pretty sure this isn't in Maine haha

the payouts have increased way more than odds have fallen
