KY not good for pick 3 or 4

KY's pick-4 game is no different than any other state where I played pick-4 with the exception with ease of cashing tickets. And because the KY pick-3 pays 20% more than others, it's accually a much better game.

make it seem like we winning

I've always thought it was either/or ; if my ticket wins, I get paid, if it doesn't, I don't.

Overall sales for the month were $115.5 million, which is $33.2 million (or 40.3%) more than budgeted. This shatters the previous record sales month from January 2016, when a world-record Powerball jackpot of $1.6 Billion led to sales of $105.1 million.

It's a fact KY lottery players will buy more tickets when either the PB or MM jackpots are huge so it should be no surprise more tickets were sold when both jackpots were huge. And when those sales are high, sales on other games should go up t... [ More ]

Congratulations to President and CEO Tom Delacenserie and his team for a job well done. He made the right move from Florida to Kentucky.

If only David Lee Edwards was still with us. Rest in Peace.

I look at the amount of money bet on the Lottery and am amazed.

MY FB reply didn't cross over. What I said was the last paragraph basically sums up what I've been harping on for some time now...on-line sales is the way to go. That's my abbreviated response, FB was much, much longer, but am lucky to be offered on-line purchases

Last paragraph about sums up what I've been saying for some time now. On-line sales is where lotteries need to go. As an outsider living in KY, I don't necessarily (IMHO) this to be a progressive state. That being said this is NOT the case with the Kentucky Lottery, especially with on-line sales.

The near-world record Mega Millions jackpot run in tandem with a Powerball jackpot run that rose to more than $680 million led to the most successful sales month in the nearly 30-year history of the Kentucky Lottery.

Overall sales for the month were $115.5 million, which is $33.2 million (or 40.3%) more than budgeted. This shatters the previous record sales month from January 2016, when a world-record Powerball jackpot of $1.6 billion led to sales of $105.1 million.

This in turn led to $34... [ More ]
