*SIGH*. I can barely even tell what you're trying to say. You want jackpots to be able to go down? 4 of 5 is considered a lower tier prize

Personally, I'd rather have a rolldown, just to get a nice bone once in a while. Spread the wealth I say!...LOL

I don't think it would work. I'm not sure what you mean by special drawing. I prefer rollovers like the majority of people who voted here.

You take a standard pick 5 game and you add a special drawing of some kind to determine if the jackpot will rollover to the next drawing or rolldown to the lower levels assuming it isn't won. The same rule could be applied in the unlikely event that a lower tier prize isn't won either (4 of 5).... [ More ]
