Ok, I sent them an email askin them this question. Here was their response:

Dear Guru101, each person that plays Cash ball and have the winning top prize numbers will win the top prize of $200,000 up to $1 million. If the total number of top prizes exceeds 5, the $1 million will be shared equally among the number of top prize winners. Maximum top prize liability is $1 million for each drawing. Thanks for playing the Kentucky Lottery.

I'm glad I found out.

For example, on the 3 Line Lotto page, it's top prize description states: If there is more than one jackpot winner, the prize is divided among all winners .
