Change the odds of winning and the jackpot will jump up

As I've said, it's calculated out to stay as near to 100% as I could get it. Basically to keep it fair. If you changed the jackpot by hand bringing it up from 2000 to 100,000 without changing the odds the lottery would be paying out 5000%

Put a 5 x 25 draw and you should clear 100,000 at $10 tickets.

As things stand all the games are pretty even, they all sit in the 95-100% payout range.
