Doubling a jackpot would be risky for a lottery.

The lower tier prizes in NY Lotto are a ripoff.

I voted yes, since it would be an unforced option. I would double the jackpot for $1, only if I felt REALLY good with my number pick/s.

It appears any upcoming changes to Mega Millions would keep it at $1 per play.

Normally I don't spend more money to win a larger amount for the smaller prizes but I thought that was worth it. Ironically the largest winner during the promotion did not spend that dollar and won only 10 million - still a nice amount but I'll bet he wishes he had spent the ext... [ More ]
