Same thought process is why Lotto Max supplanted Lotto 6/49 as Canada's biggest lottery - the $50 million jackpot is too tempting a target. Though it is interesting as well how the number of $1 million prizes has also become a major draw for the lotto. But I don't think that system would work very well at the kind of money the Powerball is at. But could you imagine something like one $250 million jackpot and a thousand $1 million draws?
