Well if the game is drawn manually for the nighttime drawings, then more time might be added for the televised drawings correct

Does anyone know how the numbers would be drawn, via computer for the mid-day, mechanic for the nighttime television drawings and if that's the case, would the drawing show be expanded to include this new game

The PA Lottery changes games and formats so often that John Kerry must be in charge over there. I voted for the Mix Match, before I voted against it in favor of Quinto - or are they keeping Mix-Match? Or is it Match-6 or something??? Oh, wait, that's the game where you can match 10 numbers but only on some tickets being 6 numbers are actually drawn. I think every few months there's a new game and another is dumped. Notice also that the games seem to be (except maybe this case?) to be rehashed fr... [ More ]

Not that it matters to me very much but it should to those that might gamble on this one. I've looked on-line a bit and can't find out whether or not it is a computerized drawing.

So I conclude they are playing (hiding) down the fact it is another POS RNG game! People will put money into the lottery coffers unknowningly gambling on a computer program.

Hello posters, this is my first post. I wanted to ask everyone, how does this new game affect the time limit of the nighttime TV drawings, will more time be added to the TV drawings or not if the game is drawn by a machine for the televised drawings

Looks ok but they should have done a Pick six version instead. Some people will probably opt to just bet 10 bucks on the pick 4 straight for way better odds at 50Gs. However, I dont believe many people would try at 100 bucks on a pick 4 vs a pick 6 for 500Gs for a buck.

This type of game would be a great for states without pick-3 and pick-4 games because of all the options. Allow players pick-3 straight and box bets on the first 3 digits, the last 3, or even the middle 3 and the same pick-4 bets on the first and last 4 digits.

It might create a dilemma for the players because they could see the digits they picked being drawn in the wrong position; their numbers could be drawn in the last 3 positions when they played the first 3. And even more so in states l... [ More ]

Is this away to boost the sales? I read there sales are down.

People think twice with prices and the loss of jobs.

I presume it will carry the computerized draw for daytime and the ball feature draw for evening?

I read the retailer site and it didnt clarfiy to well how the draws will go, nor does it have the ways to win....

Very vague at this point to make an informed decision if this game will last or worthy of playing.

I guess I'm the only one who sees the potential for a disturbing trend, here.

Very nice game.

Do you think they read ideas here at Lottery Post?

I posted how nice I thought a five digit game would be a couple times here at Lottery Post.

Need it in S.C.

I am going to suggest it at their message center on the S.C. site.

Edited here.

Just shot over to the S.C. website and made the suggestion to consider this type of game.

I like it. Gives you many choices, and reasonable odds for what you choose. I wish they were as creative in my state.

This is funny...I was just wondering why a state hasn't introduced a 5 digit game and PA all of a sudden is getting one. Interesting but the odds are so high.

I think so also but think twice a day is too much for starters... I think the players will mainly be those playing pick 3 and 4 presently and twice a day might have them rethink their lottery dollars.
