I'll just respond to what's in bold-type.
An example would be: if I bought the only winning ticket for any payout,
and I only bought it for $1 but the published payout is displayed as
a $2 ticket payout, you will see a number larger than the actual pool size;
hence larger than what my ticket was worth.
