Make a choice between a SUPER millionaire and many mini millionaires. Consider values based on social responsibilities and impact on society.

I know I'm in the minority but I'd choose 50 millionaires.

I say that because I'd like to have a better chance of actually winning something before I'm dead and bloated rather than a microscopic chance at multi-millions.

And I don't give a rat's ass about social responsibilities or impact on society. What's that got to do with winning the lottery anyway?

I also choose 50 millionaires. It would be more money than what we have in the bank now.

A smaller game with a first price of a mini--million and with nice payouts for 3/6, 4/6 and 5/6, is pretty attractive to play. Let's not forget that the price for a combination <1$ would also be very appealing.

ONE SUPER, but with lottery starting JP at $100 million or above.

Definitely 50

Ridgerunner, looks like so far only the minority has checked in, right now it's 7 to 0

Apparently, we're getting a hybrid of what you're talking about in the U.S., a new MUSL game similar to Lotto Max. Jackpot cap, and if the rollovers reach the cap, the number of secondary $1 million prizes keeps growing, so more people have chances to win $1 million.

I would have to go with the one big winner mainly because if I were lucky enough to win, I would be splitting it with others and would also want to help my family, friends and church. One. Million after taxes would not go that far. On the other hand I would like to see many others be blessed.

Winning the lottery is very difficult so I would like more people to realize the dream. The more millionaires the better.

The more the merrier.

Here in Ireland 65% of the total "take" of the Irish Lottery funds social projects and executive salaries with around €4.4 billion funding projects since 1986.

Lottery "officials" blame a fall in sales in 2013 on not enough rollovers. Sales were down 7% to €685m.

As usual the biggest losers regardless the prize size, is the punter.

One big winner. If you want to win a million there's always the state lotto game. Which I also play.

Im with you. I can go either way. I'd love to win a huge jackpot by myself and I also like to win a jackpot that is split up all over the place between me and others across the states.

ive been waiting for 1 big winner to split it with me, and it aint happening. i like the tons of millionaires ea weeks draw. sure i get attracted to huge jackpots. but i think a game that spread it around; and not in $3 prizes, would be really popular
