I hope that Northstar will be able to increase the sales of lottery therefore they can provide a good revenue to the state. I agree that changes brings good things to the establishments. Areas of concerns will be address by the new management.

Cointoss,

I hope you're wrong about the pick 5, could be a deal breaker for me.

The game started out once a week then 2x a week then 3x then 5x and now 7x

I've been playing the same #set over 10 years, had lot's of 3/5 and three 4/5.

But this would at least double my outlay.

I would have to give up my #set and just play a QP now and then when the JP gets in the high range.

If there are others thinking like me, they could ruin the game.

What is EZ match

CLETU$,

I think those Illinois MM and PB guaranteed winner tickets are a real trap. The most common result is you paid $5 for a $1 MM ticket or a $2 PB ticket.

Illinois has a $5 scratch off ticket called Powerball and another called Mega Millions.You're gaurenteed to be a winner,if you call a break even ticket a winner or you might win a $1 Mega Million ticket or a $2 Powerball ticket.Personaly,I'd rather buy my own Mega Million or Powerball ticket...they'd be cheaper.So much for privateitizing the lottery,they are bigger crooks than the two former Govenors that are doing time

Sometimes change is good because they need to fix some things.

1 Marketing. Pedros win should of been the first thing you see on the NJ lotto site, not some new scratcher games. Also mention every second place ticket that they sell.

2 Certain second chance scratchoff games require entering 10$ worth of losing tickets. If you have a 5$ ticket left over, you can't use it. Has to be exactly 10$ worth.

From the OP:

Northstar NJ will provide a wide range of specialized services to the Lottery that will focus on strengthening its marketing and sales functions and will include support for lottery game development, marketing and advertising, as well as the procurement of related goods and services.

Good luck Jersey. Expect to see innovative ways of changing $1 games into $2 games. In Illinois it's all at the players' option so far but definitley can double what you've been playing. For one... [ More ]
