Lotto Powerball has jackpotted to $35 million this week. What do you think about these huge prize draws?

I think it's probably too much. The average person doesn't need that much money. I think it would be better if it stopped at $25m-$20m and was shared out after that.

I don't think much of them. All these people buy a Lotto ticket and it's gonna be one in a million that's going to win.

I reckon it should be shared out between all the winners on a fair basis. $35m is a lot of money for one person.

I think they should reach a certain point then share it out. $35m is an awful lot of money. They should have a lower cut-off point - I think about $20m is far enough - then they should share it out after that.
