For $1 + $1, I'm better off getting an extra Pick 6 combination/ticket as the odds are better than Cash4Life.

Frankly, I'd like to see NJ add a KENO game, in fact, let ALL the states add a Keno game since the (computer-generated) recently canceled Monopoly game was canceled because players were smart enough not to play it for that other reasons

Yep, play $2 multiplier so I can win $2. Sounds like one step forward and one step backward. 2X multiplier should not exist in any lotto type game because to put it mildly, IT SUCKS.

Did you noticed with multiplier a match2 is worth $2 when normally it's worth nothing? Increasing the odds of winning something to 1:8 is worth the extra $1. If this improves their ticket sales, I could see other states with similar games doing something similar. I would like to see something similar in Ohio.

This is not too bad. Normally 2 of 6 pays nothing but if you add the Xtra you stand to win $2. I would add the Xtra.

Who cares. P6 sales are in the toilet and the whole game needs to be scrapped and or overhauled.

I don't think they have stated anywhere that the Xtra would provide better odds for the jackpot. That's not being honest. They simply said the odds of getting a prize of any kind was much better -- which it IS.

I think someone who wins $10,000 instead of $2,000 is going to be very happy.

Doubt that spending an extra dollar is going to increase my odds of winning the big jackpot .

Just another tactic to get more $$ for us players. No Thanks NJ lottery.

The choice/addition of a multiplier is always a good thing in any game except for the 2X multiplier, which is actually a rip-off.
