Default $340 Million Powerball

Odds of winning a BIG lottery: 1:308,000,000

Wrong.

Odds of winning a BIG lottery if you purchase one ticket in your
lifetime: 1:308,000,000

Assuming a lifespan of 80 years, purchasing one ticket every day, the
odds of winning go up to something like 1:10,000. Now that's not so
bad, is it?
