Sounds like a s----y lottery outfit to me. To heck with giving out more prizes to the players. They might as well sell scratch tickets where the top prize tickets were forgotten to be printed.

Who are the Einsteins that negotiated this contract, on behalf of the state, with the lottery operator? I certainly hope they didn't get a performance bonus

This is money that has been won by the players, but had not been claimed. Common sense would say they should find a legitimate way to distribute that money to other players. To only allocate 2 percent to players while lining the pockets of your friends in the advertisement business is disgusting.
