Why most states dont get this is beyond me. They waste their time coming out with new games that they think will increase revenue when in the long run they peter out. To increase sales states need to INCREASE payback percentage. Some of these states are highway robbers paying

The overall odds of winning any prize in the Million Dollar scratch game are one in 1.322 versus one in 2.56 in another popular ten dollar scratch game.The retailers cannot keep this game on the shelves.....People know there are 6 more Million Dollar tickets out there in addition to the other large prizes.I wonder how many players know the payout( if one is so lucky) is an annuity over 20 years ?I will gladly take 50k per year for 20 years, but somehow that does not feel like a million dollars....
