I'll buy 20 Megamillions ones if I want to spend $20, and we'll see who wins more. I guess NH is full of people who have too much money and want to give it back to the state $20 at a time - strange for such a tax hating state.NH is not as rich as everyone thinks. There are a lot of people living below the poverty line there.

The 1st prize better be the largest ever of any scratcher, AND with those $20-$30 scratchers, they better pull the game outta the stores when there's no more 1st prize wins left. It's one thing to leave the game in the store if it's a $10 or less scratcher, but $20-$30?! Yea right

Ok, they're doubling the price to $20. No mention of doubling the prizes. First things first, I guess. Why confuse the issue with details

$20 price seems high, but reasonable since all the other states are doing it now.
