I'd look at the volume of play in both game because the more people that play, the more likely the jackpot will be hit and with less combinations, and the jackpot be could split. With the 6/52 lotto jackpot being hit on Saturday, the volume will obviously drop but the odds of winning will stay the same.

I'd take my chances with Little Lotto.

good question...but i'll go with the 1 million pick5...If pick5 paid 1 million i would have play it long time ago...But eventually pick5 will change matrix to accomodate either half a million or 1 million not now but in the future, that's my hunch, unless they change the price of each ticket which i believe will be devastating...

If I only had a buck to spend, I would probably go with the game with the better odds of winning something. So, I would choose the Pick 5 game. Plus, I like Pick 5 games.

The Little Lotto got hit by four players who will get $256,250 each (2 were QP, 2 were player's picks)

The Lotto rolled over. Check out the numbers, keeping in mind it is a 6/52 game:

WINNING NUMBERS: 06 - 10 - 15 - 16 - 17 - 19

Pick 5 for me. I'd go with the odds! $1,025,000 is nothing to shake a stick at.
