Double Up Cash is a RNG game. I called the lottery headquarters in Louisville and asked them if it was. I also asked if the Midday Pick3 was RNG, in which it isn't, and if they ever plan on televising it. They said it's not in the budget and they don't ever plan on televising it.

Also I think Double Up Cash is another RNG game, which I hate.

Yeah but its expected value is 7.50 and the expected value of 4 out of 5 is 75 bucks. Pa pays over 200 bucks for 4 out of 5. I know the Kentucky matrix is smaller. The thing I hate about this is just the lines the lotto directors whip out at you trying to get people excited over a double up feature that is pretty much bogus.

Why not just pay 1.50, 7.50 and 75 for 2,3,and 4 number respectively. This game though is a good wager once the jackpot rolls to about 250k , then I would give it a go. That Illinois lotto is going down tonite

and the 81% payback doesn't mean more prizes. it just means higher top prizes. they can disperse that 81% however they want, and they decieded that they want to just add it to the top prize.as for KY, they seem to be having a lot of online games nowaday.pick 3pick 4double up cashkentucky cash balllotto southtic-tac cashwhat will they offer next? keno

Ohio's 81% payback game is an instant game.

I agree that kentucky is one of the better states especially with the scratch offs they offer and a game like cash ball is fair. But the guys comment that the doubler feature is supposed to excite people is just a sham. Its like pizza hut offering you the chance to get two slices of pizza for one if you win a coin toss, but all you wind up getting is two smaller pieces of pizza. I agree that states are behind the eight ball as far as increasing payback percentages but that is the only way they... [ More ]

Don't be too hard on the Kentucky Lottery. Kentucky is not a big-cash state like yours (Illinois), so they can't offer the same kinds of prizes. I think the Kentucky Lottery generally runs a good set of games.

Haha I love how they hoodwink you here. Most states pay out ten bucks and 100 for three and four number respectively. So they just cut that in half and then offer to double it with the new gimmick. Seriously these states take players as dopes sometimes. Jackpot starts at 40k that is another joke. Another weak attempt to create new revenue. How bout a game that actually pays out a higher payback percentage instead of this new twisted same old garbage.
