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

In theory I suppose you could. However, it’s not practical. You’d have to manually fill out tickets for each possible combination. Even if you did do that you have to factor in taxes. You’re not netting $1.6B. And then there’s the risk of multiple winners which would result in you losing money in the end.
