There are some interesting statics floating out about your individual chances of winning.
It's a slim chance, but better than the 0% chance if you don't play.

Never mind now I'm seeing the reports. Suppose to be 5 winners in the bay Area with $130,000 each.

If you have the Mega by it self you'll win $2, 1 number + the Mega is $3, 3 numbers and no Mega is $7 and so on

they said you would have to buy out the entire nation's supply of tickets and still not have all the numbers.

i did some reading haha
Yeah, obviously not technically feasible.

All 5 of 5 and Mega ~ Odds 1 in 175,711,536

My probability math skill is not very good these days blaming it on an art major lol, but is 175,711,536 the total combination of those 6 numbers?
If it is then there is money to be made if you buy all of the combination of numbers. Unless there are multiple winners.
