I agree with G Cathcart ‘Ban the big jackpots' (The Weekend Sun, March 7). Lotto should make the biggest Powerball prize $10million and anything over that should be shared between the other prize pools, especially the lower two or three.

I've said this for many years. Surely that is fairer than one person getting $25,000,000 banking it and accruing phenomenal interest.

How much does one person really need? Maybe more people would buy tickets more often, not just when there's a massive top prize like I do.

Having several millionaires sharing their winnings with family would put more money into the economy, make some people's lives easier, less stressful, not to mention keep more people in jobs. I know it would certainly make a difference to my life and that of my children.

I've been asked what I'd do with mega millions and my reply was: 'Show me the money and I'll show you what I can do with it”.

Family would come first and then my favourite charities. I'd buy the house I've always wanted, maybe do a little travelling, if there was any over. Dreams are free.
Sadly, the Big Guy upstairs doesn't think I'm worthy of that privilege. How sad, too bad, never mind.
