I've been playing the same numbers for years have only hit once that was 3 numbers for $15. I keep threatening to quit just save my money. I've always said the fix was in here in Jersey.

So in its quest for greater profits, as if having a record breaking 2023 wasn't enough, the New Jersey Lottery continues its trend of raising ticket prices while adding gimmicks and reducing prizes. In this case, what the Jersey Lottery did not include in their announcement is that they have discontinued the $2 win for matching two numbers, they have effectively reduced the Second Tier prize of Matching 4-out-of-5 numbers to $250, a fixed amount versus the $500 to $800 that it used to regularly...

So this Bullseye feature is like almost every Keno game's Bullseye feature, where one of the winning numbers will be a special one, and if you match it, you win a bigger prize.

Interesting take to a lottery game in my opinion.

Nj Robbery is so bad! Anyone who lives here knows that the lottery has gone to $hit ,all they do is profit. Scratch offs used to have winners , now if you buy 10 tickets one might be a winner and its usually a free ticket.

I just am not liking this trend. Raising the ticket price is one thing but bundling in the fee-tures and forcing them on ticket buyers is another. If all the lotteries rape the extras into the price of the ticket I will just have to stop buying them all together.

Rapists will rape I guess.

Fantasy 5 now fee-turing a higher ticket price and the mandatory floy floy.

No thanks.

The writing is on the wall for all the lotteries (maybe not, maybe some of them will have the sense not... [ More ]

I've stopped playing the games as regularly as I used to, talks of price increases have had me pivot and focus my attention on saving my money for more lucrative experiences. Looking to play exclusively with my office pool, which is usually only once a year when the MM and PB jackpot reach record breaking highs....

It is all just unmitigated gall and greed at play here. A 100% increase in cost to play and a 30% increase in prizes does not resonate with most.

It takes about a week for the Cash 5 jackpot to get around $1 million - how much quicker or larger do they desire the jackpot to get for what's supposed to be a cheap in-state game?? If they're going to double the price, they should be doubling the starting prize. Not to mention the prize multiplier should be automatic now.

I never thought this price would rise, I didn't even think the pick 6 game would hit $2, but they did. Now I have no doubt that Powerball and mega millions are on th... [ More ]
