  If it were changed to 100 winners I would only be for that if all states participating were represented equally.  It would not be cool if Indiana or Wisconsin were winning everything.

  Talking about jackpots, the recent PB winner hails from Wisconsin. Wouldn't it be something if the LP member aka Herald of jackpot woe was the winner.He knows who he is.

  change or keep rules?

  Considering the ticket sales on $50 million jackpots, it's not a "big jackpot". And under your rule proposal to split the jackpot 100 ways, a $500 million jackpot would give each player just $5 million and not even close to what most players call a "big jackpot.

  To guaranteed one hundred winners the jackpot would have to start off with a prize big enough to pay 100 winners instead being allowed to grow which would make it a raffle instead of a lottery.

  There can't be "big jackpots" if it's split 100 ways and let's not forget the impossible assumption 100 players could all beat over 258 million to 1 odds. And who knows how they could determine which 100 tickets would split the jackpot when players are now complaining that certain states win all the jackpots.
