In my opinion the casinos payout more.  The odds for scratchoffs stink.  They need to market their products better and try and compete with the casinos as much as possible.

There is no doubt the tribal casinos have grown considerably during the last two or three years. While there are still a lot of smaller casinos, several tribes have opened some large ones with live entertainment, liquor, hotel, etc.  The lottery has to remain competitive, and the addition of a televised game show and the Hot Lotto are welcome steps. 

One thing that has hurt the Oklahoma Lottery in recent months is the lack of televised drawings in the eastern part of the state, the Tulsa region. Tulsa's WB station used to broadcast the Pick 3, Cash 5 and Powerball drawings, but since the WB and UPN folded the lottery drawings have not been seen in the Tulsa area. The drawings are still aired in Oklahoma City.

hot lotto is computerized.bad move....

be careful in oklahoma.you're liable to wake up with computerized drawings one day.if the guy who ran missouri is now running oklahoma then you really better watch out.

In my opinion, the State needs to make the lottery player friendly, instead of making it State friendly. And NO, it will not help with " Hot Lotto " being computerized... 

I did not realize the Hot Lotto drawings were computerized. I assumed they were drawn the same way as Powerball, and am disappointed to learn otherwise.

The good news is that a Muldrow, Oklahoma couple just won the June 27, 2007 Powerball Jackpot from a ticket purchased in Roland. Muldrow and Roland are small towns near the state's eastern border.
