Not too shabby for a computer generated game

$10,000 is a nice prize but I'm looking for more.

Well, I missed that the tickets are $2, so thanks for mentioning that. Still a good bet in my eyes...

Understood. That's why I pointed out the difference in the odds between Match 4 and a regular Pick 4 game (1 in 10600 vs 1 in 10000).

Match 4 costs $2 per ticket. Pick 4 is $1 per ticket but playing the same number straight twice costs $2, for the same $10000 payout at slightly better odds.

Not knocking the Match 4 game, just pointing out the difference.

Just wanted to clarify here, that this is not a Pick game (Pick 3, Pick 4, etc.) This is a Jackpot game with a 4/24 matrix, with odds of 1 in 10600. The odds are extremely attractive (to me at least) and the payout of $10,000, relative to odds, is fantastic.

A regular Pick 4 game typically costs $1 for a straight bet. Odds are 1 in 10,000 for $5000 for a $1 straight bet. $2 straight bet on the same number pays $10,000.

The odds are slightly better than Washington's Match 4 odds of 1 in 10,600.

Me too... the Pick-4 game is one in ten thousand, but only pays 5 grand. This is much better.

While I don't participate in the pick 3/4/5 games, it's nice to see so many winners from time to time. Kudos to all of them.

Just looked up the specs on this game. 4/24 matrix, odds 1 in 10600, top prize of $10,000. I would love a game like this in Florida, I'd be playin' that suckah all day long. Meaning, of course, zero chance of that happening

If I won that 10k I think I'd get me one of them new phones that takes pictures. I went to the Walmart the other day to get 35mm film for my camera and couldn't find any and when I asked the kid working there where it was, he didn't know what the hell I was talking about. But them picture taking phones don't work where I live anyway so never mind.
