Winfall jackpot has hit its $5 million mark. From what I read, if
no
one hits the jackpot on Wednesday, the jackpot amount is paid to
people who have 3,4 or 5 numbers.
The literature is a little confusing. On one brocure, it says that
the jackpot will stay at $5 million til someone hits it and only
the
incremental jackpot amount rolls down. The other brochure says
that
the entire jackpot amount rolls down. Big, Big difference.
Since the jackpot increased by about $600,000 from the last
drawing,
I estimate that 2.4 million tickets were sold ( usually, 25% goes
to
the jackpot, 25% to the lesser prizes and 50% to the state).
Pretty

good deal for the state.
Additional information is welcomed.

Johnnyzee,
When the jackpot reaches five million, all the prizes are
multiplied by about ten if no one hits the $5,000,000. Hence, a three-
pick that normally pays five dollars, now pays fifty. And so on.
I have hit for $1100, and $950, plus numerous fiftys and hundreds.
Once I had six $50's and one $100 winners and someone hit the jackpot
turning my $400 into $40. Rats! I hate when that happens. But, I'm
still ahead for all the time I've played, so far. I've been lucky I
guess.

I already have 200 tickets for this weeks drawing and hope to at
least break even.
