The Powerball jackpot just hit $1.5 billion — and suddenly everyone’s doing mental math on yachts. 🛥️💸
In this episode of Error 404: Searching for Logic, we break down what a mega-jackpot really means:

• Why the cash option is far smaller than the headline
• How interest rates, taxes, and annuities really work
• Why giant jackpots are a mirror of economic stress and risk appetite
• The behavioral finance traps hiding behind a $2 ticket
This isn’t about picking numbers — it’s about understanding money psychology, probability, and why “boring” financial habits beat cosmic luck every time.
