Idaho must be the cheapest State in the USA. They will do just about anything to keep a person from winning there state Pick 3. I found out they did a servey to see what people thought about how easy it was to pick the Pick3 drawings. They asked one guy and he not knowing he was talking to a Lotto Rep said it was too predictable. Since then this guy that would hit 2 to 3 times a week hasen't won again in 2 years. When the lottery was asked why not have a live televised ball drawing, the response was its not commercially feasible for them. All advertised [on television] lotto scratch offs have the highest losing percentage. They have those on all the time, I guess they have to pay for the TV air time some kind of way. It is bad in the profits though. I hate being 1 number off on Pick3 everyday. If I play only the BP and/or FP they split the numbers I choose. Recently they put out a VIP card to give away gifts as you accumlate points. 1 point for every dollar spent. You have your card inserted before the the numbers are chosen. So in essence they know who you are, where you play and how much you spend, also if you're about to clean out their coffers and how often you do it. I spoke with a ID Rep myself Marketing Manager she said she was. She says they pay out more on Pick 3 than they bring in. I knew she was lying but what can I say. I look at the payouts for the day and some days I spend on Pick 3 more than they pay out. I've seen this many many days. How in the WHOLE  State can only $350 be paid out on Pick 3? That includes ANY way you can bet it. 

Okay enough ranting. Let me get my numbers ready for tonight..........
