I prefer at least some kind of rolldown where if the jackpot isn't won the lower tier prizes are larger. If the Florida lotto added only two million to the pot after a rollover and put a million into the lower tier prizes I think there would be a lot more interest in the draw to draw game and we wouldn't be so dependent on giant jackpots sucking money out of the citizens all for one draw.
