For one thing, very few, if any states offer that kind of prize anymore. Once in a blue moon a taxes paid scratch ticket comes along.

Another thing to consider is the amount of revenue that a lottery can generate for said prizes. They're too new and don't have big enough base yet (IMHO) to offer anything to resemble what you said.

When they first got in the lottery business I had written them a physical letter congratulating them. They took the time to respond.

Hey Mississippi Lottery Headquarters, for a $20 scratch off ticket, I think your first place prize should be two 1.5-2 million dollar cash lump sum awards
