If the odds are 1 in about $300,000,000 and the jackpot is $1,600,000,000 and the tickets cost $2 each then why couldn’t I just go buy $
300,000,000 tickets for $600,000,000 and pocket one billion dollars

Theoretically, yes. But you also need to include other people. Say the entire state of Texas buys a ticket. That’s 30 mil. people which decreases your chances to (1/300,000,000)/30,000,000. And that’s pretty small.
