Renee: I'm sure the entire 27 million or so in the Michigan Millions jackpot is being paid out during the first few WINFALL draws, plus 55% of WINFALL sales.

I think a Winfall-style game would work really well in NJ. Pick 6 sales continue to do pretty well even though jackpots are staying < $10 million. This leads me to think that a $5M-maximum prize would do fine, and I love the fact that players have such large lower-tier prizes when there's no winner.
