Instead of Quick Draw, NY should shut down Lotto (poor payout %) and its annuity-only scratch games.

i'd like it if PA offered keno as a daily game, maybe mid-day and evening drawings

i doubt it. they've been supposedly loking at it for years, but PA is doing things now to keep bars and smokers away, so i don't think they'd offer keno anytime soon. there's that and the fact that there's at least one convenience store wthin a 100 yards of a bar, and they do not like to give lottery licenses to retailers too close to each other.
