Where do you change the percentages for the lottery? If you have it set for 3 balls right now it looks like 3/3 gets 50 %, 2/3 gets 50% and 1/3 gets 0

those percentages are misleading, that's not 50 percent of the pot, it also takes odds into account on that. It's more of a internal modification thing to keep the payout balanced that probably shouldn't be shown outside of testing purposes.

The Minimum payout is a better number to look at. But basically you have odds x percent = payout. In the end it should work out to about 100% payout overtime regardless of what numbers you put in for # of balls and range on them.
