No, there is no connection between the number of lottery tickets sold and the amount of winnings. In the weekly lottery the prize for first place is always $1,500 and for each subsequent place the prize is divided by 2, for second place the prize is $750, for third place the prize is $375 and so on.

Visit the website and go to the lottery section. You will see that the prize amount for the current round is increasing with the increase in total number of tickets.
