The payouts were something like $48, $998, and $24,750.
VP , p( hit 3) = 1 in 56.7, p( hit 4) = 1 in 1032.4 and p( hit 5) = 1 in 54200.8.
There used to be a website that told you how many people hit each number. With that info, you could figure out whether this is a good play or not. If the big one hits, you're back to the usual 50% or so lottery payout.
