That would be interesting. I wonder why they don’t try that?
I know I’d never win “one” $500 million prize, but I’d feel like I had a better chance to win a single million dollar prize...if there were 500 chances.
As the “jackpot” money pours in, each time a million mark is hit, that million is lopped off and becomes another million dollar prize. The more people that buy jackpot tickets, the more chances there are.
I think even more people would play...thereby bumping the total number of “smaller” million dollar prizes up even more.
