I think whats getting worse is the odds of winning anything in the scratch offs and people don't feel like playing any more. Look at the website and compare the number of people who won the top scratch off ticket prizes from January through June of 2007 and compare that to the number of the same in 2009.

I would not be too happy blowing off $10 or $20 on a scratch off at the moment.

I play the scratch offs very rarely nowadays. I love the online games like megamillions because they're cheaper, the thrill lasts longer and the jackpot grows.
