Now, if they divided that into 1,337 x $1,000,000 prizes, I’d throw in a couple bucks for tickets.
Or...13,370 x $100,000 prizes...I’d buy a lot of tickets.

And, I bet, a lot MORE people would play.

A local radio show had an official from the Ohio Lottery on during a big prize run a few years ago. One of the callers proposed that. He said that the state does have lower value draws in the few million range and says that the sales aren't nearly as big as the Mega Millions and Power Ball. People want the big prize.

I admit that I was a sucker for this and bought a few tickets. When the saleslady asked which I wanted, I told her the Mega Millions because who wants to win a mere $100 million on Power Ball. It's hardly worth the effort to pick up the check if I had won that. She laughed at my admitted silliness of which level of more money than I could ever spend I wanted.
