If you don't know it already, lotteries run by the states are scams. Having more numbers means that the lotto ruolls over more often. When it does, the state has a higher "skim". The freakin' idiots that run these lottos are like freakin' corporations nowadays. They look to get the most out of the bottom line. In Calif. they claim that they need this money to bolster the starting(lowest) $7 mill. that the Lotto starts at instead of the $3 mill that it used to start at. They figured if it started higher, it would bring in more sales. But the joke is that they already have a formula no matter what the sales are. Her it starts at 7 mill. Not hit it goes to 10 mill. Now the next price is ridiculous. Not hit it only goes up 2 mill to 12 mill. They've been doing this for about 6 months now. So this BS of the Lotto going up depending on sales is BS. They do what they want and run it anyway that they want. Calif. increased their numbers because they wanted to be the highest lotto jackpot given away. When Powerball took that away from them they now have joined forces with Mega Millions.
