Why do so many play the powerball over their local state lottery?

I get that the powerball is always a few hundred million and the state lottery’s tend to be only 5-10 million but both of those top prizes are still plenty to retire anybody.

Powerball has odds of 1/25 to win anything even the minimum while state lottery has 1/8~ odds giving your money a lot more longevity and even more shots at the top prize.

If you’re a person that plays the lottery every draw, why do the powerball over your local state lottery?
