PA Super Six is going away...Reply
CASH Only -WA now offers a cash option on Lotto and Quinto - 50% of the announced jackpot value. The Gold Ball game is gone, replaced by Lotto. Lotto is a standard 6/49 game and Quinto is a 5/52 game, with the numbers replaced by a deck of cards.The OR site is unclear on the cash option except on the multi-state games - PowerBall, MegaMillions - so it's probably not offered.gl

The Texas Multi-State Lottery Battle!Reply
Rebeckah,I agree with you, the Texas Lottery Commission does not listen to its players. If you read through the articles, they say about how they're listening on the multi-state game issue. That shows how FAKE they are. They absolutely DON'T listen to the players on that decision, because frankly most players wouldn't know or understand the economics behind which multi-state game to choose.Where they have gone BAD is adding a bonus ball to their game. What a mistake! When they go with MM or

NY Lotto $55,000,000Reply
Brad:The NY state legislature still prohibits the NY Lotto game from returning more than 40% to players. (This DOES NOT apply to Mega Millions, Take Five 5/39, etc.)NY Lotto 6/59 began before NY was allowed to pursue a multi-state game (in fact, the first drawing of Lotto 59 was September 12, 2001.)And, of course, NY Lotto (and Mega Millions within NY) still must choose when they PLAY instead of after they win).PS- the 5+ bonus is the ONLY positive thing about this game.

Ohio changing Lotto?Reply
RJ:If the Ohio Lottery likes/liked the KICKER game so much, maybe Ohio could have made KICKER an option with _any_ Ohio online game (except perhaps Mega Millions since it's a multi-state game), and drawing it six nights a week.No sense promoting KICKER now if there's a good chance Ohio is dropping it.

$ Lotto America $Reply
I play this game because like your state, the in-state games suck here. They introduced a game just a few months ago that costs $5 and the jackpot starts at 200 or 250K and only goes up 3k per draw. It says the jackpot odds are 1:610,880 which is much better than any multi state jp game, but $5 is just too much for me to spend for a chance at a jp that still hasn't hit half a million yet. I can spend my dollar on LA without agonizing over it. $5 on the state game seems completely unreasonable to

Ohio will be joining the Cash4Life game this Thursday
I just read a notice on the Ohio Lottery website that tickets can be brought for this Thursday drawing of Cash4Life, a multi-state game that's sold in several eastern states. It has a 5/48 +1/18 matrix and a $2 per ticket price. I suppose retailers will start putting out play slips for the game tomorrow. If Ohio is interested in selling more of its Classic Lotto tickets, it may had to adjust its payouts closer to what other states are offering for their 6/49 games.

MM jackpot $47M/$36.1M and PB jackpot $50M/$33.3Reply
PowerBall will change its matrix or its price before it ever disappeared and MM would have to consider if some states might ban together to create another $1 multi-state game if they ever abandon that market. PowerBall wouldn't be the first $2 ticket game to fail and be replaced with a game closer to its older version. It happened in Ohio in 2007 when Lot'O Play was replaced by Classic Lotto a version of the 6/49 game it replaced a year earlier.

Powerball- Why it isn't always good.
Ok. Before I say anything, I know there are probably quite a few people here who will disagree, and about one or two who will agree with me on this. Anyway, here goes.I've noticed in the past few years that there are states that will only carry one or two online games, and some of those states' in-state games are pick 3, or another game that does not offer a rolling jackpot. Now with North Dakota starting a lottery that ONLY offers MUSL games, states are really missing out on the point of starti

National lottery, or 3d major game?
From time to time, there has been talk of a national lottery. This subject has just been brought up again. Whether it would supplement or replace Mega Millions and Powerball is anyone's guess. I would prefer that California, NY, and Texas break away from MM and form the country's third major lottery jackpot game. Once Florida finally approves a multi-state game, it should go with MM (even though players in south Florida would still have to travel hundreds of miles to play PB).
