It's always possible to win. My grandma and my aunt won lottery jackpots. Never say never.

Sadly, SM is now dead. It is replaced by Cash 4 Life.
I say sadly because yes indeed it was the best odds of winning $1m for a buck. Compare to MM and PB odds. The only good odds now are PB for $2m 1:5.1m odds for $3(PP).

$2-ticket instead of $1?!$365,000/year instead of $1m? Not fair. I'd rather know how much I win than hope to live 25 years just to get $9m. Even worse for $500 odds.

If NY Lotto is $10m for $1-2tickets it's a good bet;however, 2nd prize starts at $25k.

What did people expect, good $1m odds and low odds for $500 as well? Give me a break, you cant have your cake and a pizza pie for $1.I guess everyone hopes for MM&PB $100m jackpots instead of low $1m; but hey with 90% losing all winnings in 10 years and 10% disappearing, large jackpot winners seem to have bad luck... just look at Jack Whitacker.
