I read that AZ Fantasy 5 pays back just 45%.

Interestingly, you are playing for only a 28% prize return in PA Unlucky for Life should you not win the $10 instant prize.

I have yet to play any lottery that gave me 50% of my money back, but I hope to break even or better if I ever win a jackpot.RJOh

I have repeatedly trashed NY Lotto 6/59 (cash option or not) because the prize return is ONLY 38%-40% of sales. If you don't believe me, compare the 5/6, 4/6, and 3/6 prizes with Florida Lotto, which has roughly the same jackpot odds.Anyway, here in NY, box bets (3- and 4-digit) return 48% (straights do pay 50%). Do any other online games pay back winners less than 50%?BTW, the new Massachusetts Ca$h WinFall game pays 60%, AFAIK the best of any US lotto game. Online keno seems to return 60%-6... [ More ]
