Its obvious theyre lying like hellll ....kentucky hasnt lost bubkus and they know it .

What ever they lost in pick 4 they will turn around and make 10 fold in the coming months like they always have....same thing with pick 3

Is obvious they just want to see just how big a sucker everyone is .

lol!

Do they think of the many players that live from pay check to pay check only managing to scrounge a few dollars to take a chance? CONGRATULATIONS to those winners who can pay bills this month

They paid out another $564,000 when a double double (1221) was drawn 4 nights later.

Very odd because on some Pick 4 midday drawings the total payoff is less than $10,000. For instance on Wednesday the payoff was $9300 with 43 winners and $9400 on Thursday with 22 winners. It looks like on Wednesday there were two 50 cent straight winners ($2500 each), two $1 box winners ($200 each) and thirty nine 50 cent box winners ($100 each) or a similar combination. It's hard to believe there was only 86 Pick 4 players who would have to wager on average $108 each for the Lottery just to br... [ More ]

Roughly half of Pick 4 players typically win prizes

That statement seems a bit odd. They may pay out half their take in the game but not pay out to half of the players.

Just a minimum box win is like $100.00. So you would need 200 losing players to pay just 1 player at a low level box win.

Kline said the lottery paid out $2.1 million more than expected in prizes for the Pick 4 game that month...

Paid out $2.1 Million more for that month in the pick 4 game? That's not too bad. I'm sure everyday since then they've been on the road to making it

up and then some.

I am glad that someone is winning some money. I have tried pick4 here in oregon to only lose so I do not play any more. If I am going to lose it will be with the big jackpot games like powerball and mega millions. Good luck to all.-weshar75

rdgnr...They only have a liability limit of 3 million. Only 1 trip has hit for the year, then they are belly aching whining !

That 3 million is the max liability limit on quads trips

Could happen.

they may have paid out 2.1 million more than they expected to, but no way they lost money when they only pay out 50% or 5000 clams for a possible 10,000 combination of numbers. just trying to stimulate sales by misrepresenting their bottom line. maybe that one day they lost money, but not for the month. payout odds too much in their favor.

Quad-zeros pay off big bucks for Pick 4 players

The Kentucky Lottery may have hit a streak of bad luck in November, which means good luck for lottery players in the state.

Kentucky Lottery chief financial officer Howard Kline said the payoff to Pick 4 players in November turned out to be far more than was taken in on the game.

Greg Harkenrider, one of the state's top budget experts, said Wednesday that revenue from the popular Pick 4 game plummeted in November because more people than e... [ More ]
