Nope; I played the billion-dollar jackpots a couple times when they first started happening, for novelty's sake. But now they happen so often that the novelty's gone. If/when they start hitting the 10-billion mark maybe I'll play again, if I'm not croaked yet.

Have they considered, perhaps, that the amount of potential numbers is too high for the amount of participants?

I'm sure they will if it becomes a problem, but I don't believe it has. The lottery still generates the revenue it needs to generate to be worth running, and people still buy tickets, so what would they need to change? From their perspective, it doesn't matter if they give out 100 jackpots of $10 million or one jackpot of $1 billion, so long as they sell roughly the same number of tickets before paying out. It'll only become a problem if people start getting too disheartened by the low odds for the large jackpots to be enough to motivate ticket sales (which may happen in the not-too-distant future, as billion-dollar jackpots become more common and people need even larger, less-attainable numbers to pique their interests).
