That's what suppose to happen when the possible combinations are increased from 146,107,962 to 195,249,054 and the 41 possible $200,000 prizes are reduced to 38.

combos of 5/55 numbers and 1/42 bonus numbers are 146107962

Has anyone else noticed the large reduction in $200,000 prizes since the game changed maticies? I mean they are selling $20,000,000 in tickets and still only get 1 winner in the last drawing. The odds are what 1 in over 5 million now. I still wonder why they didn't raise the prize.
