About six months ago, maybe a year. I'm curious how it turned out for them. Doubling the price seems like it would damage the market, but at the same time they actually improved some elements, like the likelihood of getting a decently big prize even if you don't hit the big one.
I've always thought that instead of making these insanely large payouts, they should spin off toward more million-dollar winners. So increase the jackpot normally until it hits something like $250 million, but after that you divert half the money toward increasing the lower prizes. I think it would be better for the game to create one winner of $250 million and 100 winners of $1 million, than to create one winner of $350 million.
