I tried to watch this, but with all the ABSURDITIES, and the multiple story lines, there are just TOO MANY PEOPLE!!! and WAY TOO MUCH DRAMA! And youre right, the actual payout, a very important plot to this whole show, was briefly mentioned, but never decided upon-HELLO??

Point taken, Steve. I'm just asking that the characters' spending be in a context better fitting the money they actually have. And the show could have had more money per winner just by having fewer winners — and letting them spend in the lavish way you're looking for.

I agree that the show is implausible, but honestly, would anyone want to watch a show about the lottery where the winners discussed annuity payments and health insurance options? I want to see the lavish spending!

Indeed. It looked as if the new "winner" was going to end up with more money than anyone else. If you have 20 winners and each gives her a 1/20 share of the take, she ends up with 20/20 while the others end up with 19/20.

I send in similar comment to TVguide about the same thing. I also said what about the 'meeting' of most of the winners (with lawyers) at which they decided to give the 'new winner' a million dollars from each of the winners. This defying logic.
