I think it's more a statement about powerball and megamillions that a 40 million pot is higher. People that claim jackpots aren't important aren't looking at the sales figures.

And big jackpots are exactly what NY Lotto was designed to generate. The overall prize pool may only be 40% (as we've all been told), but out of that 75% goes to the jackpot. That's 30% of all sales going to the jackpot. So the jackpot payout is about on par with the rest of the nation (FL Lotto pays 31.5% of sales to the jackpot). That's yet... [ More ]
