I remember a time in LA, when scratch offs were only a $1.00 and the prizes were good. Now LA like other states, have increased the scrathch off price and there not as many good cash pay outs. And but a ticket over $20.00! I don't think so, $1.00 is the limit for me on scratch offs.

Unless things have changed in NH since I lived there, NH has no state income tax and no sales tax. I like the motto on their license plates Live Free or Die! Property tax was a little on the high side, however. I haven't lived in NH since 1994, but I definitely remember when I'd go on vacation and buy something that cost 99 cts, give the cashier a buck, and expect change. It took a while getting used to the 6% Florida sales tax. Funny that their lottery isn't so hot since it's the first sta... [ More ]

That's insanity. The NH tickets are the lousiest tickets anyhow. It is mind boggling that their $5, $10, $20 tickets -- none of them offer any $1 million (and up) prizes at all.

On a $30 ticket the grand prize would have to be 100 million for me to even bother, or at least would have to be that 4 out of 5 returned at least $25 prizes and that prizes like $500 were very common. I usually stay away from scratchers unless they're brand new then I might try it once.

If I were to travel there for some reason, I might buy one if I had extra $.

Is the buzz that comes from buying a $20 scratch ticket starting to wear off?

Don't worry; you will soon be able to press a vending machine button and buy a nation-leading $30 ticket if the state lottery commission has its way.

The state Senate overruled its presiding officer and advanced a bill intended to give the Lottery Commission the freedom to decide when the top ticket of $20 has run its course.

Texas and Connecticut are the only state lotteries in the nation selling a $30 scr... [ More ]
