I am guessing the thinking is they want the jackpots to grow faster.

Well I know what I'm thinking.....I don't have time for more. I spend too much time as it is picking my numbers. I want a once a week game.

Adding a draw on Monday is sort of overdoing it. 95% of tickets sold are losers; only 5% win a cash prize. That won't change.

...but that PROBABLY won't ever happen...!! and they've even reduced the lower tier prizes ratio... making it harder to break even at least...Their lastest change may be the beginning death throws of a collapsing ponzi Game...!! ..as we all have seen?, they've never made changes in the Player's favor..I hardly place money on it, so adding another day to its drawing ,won't change my resolve...smart players realize, no up & up Game needs a whole HOUR before an honest drawing to survive...so?... Whut r they hiddin?...what iz it dat they Fear?.. I mean,.. afterall, nobody can figure out such ASTRONOMICAL ODDS... or have they?

Just play once a week. Nobody is required to play 3 times a week, or at all.

I second that emotion, I mean motion. Any odds adjustment with still be mighty long. They meet in their boardrooms and say "we are killing it, but how can we get more money out of these chumps?" Yet, if one day, if i see my family's birthdays all lined up for the jackpot and I did not play, the police better have somebody that will be very good at talking me back off the roof ( just kidding...)

Seems so simple: three digits, 168 to one odds when boxed... all you have to do is pick the right ones!
