Reply to comment by Crispylake in No Mega Millions jackpot winner; estimated prize now $640 million by Minezenroll

That'd be a great marketing for the game. Imagine if they announce there will be a thousand winners getting $100,000 instead of one person getting $100 million. That can be a live changing event for quite a few people

Then prize money wouldn't build up so much. Not as many people would play. They are playing to win $100 million. Not $100,000.

Yea, but if you actually want good odds, the lottery isn’t the way to roll. Isn’t taxes on ticket sales something like 50%? For sure a better bet would be to go to any casino and keep parlaying it it’ll broke or millionaire. Yea, I know in theory table stakes could become an issue, but if that becomes your problem, you already had a good night.
