every state does something along those lines. there will be a game that was a favorite among players that once the final top prize has been won, they end sales of the game, but they will bring the game back with a different format, or they wil keep issuing tickets for that game. think about how many win for life games PA has introduced, or how many cash explosions ohio has introduced.

I know in oregon they have 5 dollar scratchers to themes: one is anything about las vegas and the other is the number 7. Examples are : hot vegas nights, vegas nights, super 7's, blazing 7's, diamond spectacular 7's. It would be nice for the game makers to make different games instead of thinking that the public can't handle different games. I always like to try the new games that come out every month but some of them do suck.

I hate the ones where there is no game to it..... you just scratch off a square box see if you have won

Alot of times, those play styles are re-used because it makes it easier for the majority of players out there. If you used a legend play style (as you suggested in your baseball and bowling games) you can make it difficult for some players to figure out what they have won. You'd be amazed how many peeps complain about not being able to tell if they won $5 or $100. Also, sports games are niche games that are aimed at certain peeps where a cash themed games will be played by everyone. The... [ More ]

Here in St.Louis Missouri, the best scratch off game is Winter Blizzard. I always...well most of the time...win either free tickets of cash. I won $38 on it once.. Thats the highest I've ever won. But...many scratch off games are just rip offs of your $1. But it's so addictive and it's hard to pass a machine when your holding that dollar in your hand...those SOBs..

here's another idea.what if there was an instant game based on sorry or chutes and ladders ?orwhat id there was a game based on golf? your score depends on how well you do. the fewer strokes, the more you win.

That's my only complaint about it too. It should be either $50,000 or $75,000.

i like tic tac cash. it's an original game style. i would just increase the top prize to $50,000.

Actually I'm not tired of states copying game styles. The thing I'm tired of if states paying different amounts of jackpots for the same games. I think all pick 3 and pick 4 games should pay the same in each state. I also think the prize for the game should be more for the harder it is to win the jackpot. example in Ky they have Tic Tac Cash where if you get 7 Tic Tac Toe lines in a row you win the jackpot of $25,000.

what if they offered a bowling instant game? you would count up your score, and the prize would depend on the score. maybe a bonus for each strike? here's how it would work.it would cost $2/ticket. you would scratch off each roll, and add up your score. the prizes would be as follows.100-120: $2121-140: $4141-160: $8161-180: $10181-200: $25201-220: $50221-240: $100241-260: $500261-280: $2000281-299: $5000300: $29,800Also, for each strike, you would win $2 instantly.The only way to get a strike i...

what if they offered a game in which you play hopscotch. you scratch off a number which tells you how many spaces you need to go. you move that many spaces and scratch off the box. if you see a dollar amount, that's how much you won. if you do not see a dollar amount, you did not win. perhaps there would be 4 or 5 of them per ticket.

EW:If you reach base on an error, it DOES count as a time at bat.

maybe the box should also have an instant loser feature where if it says busted for steriods you lose any winnings in the game, making it less time consuming.

actually, if you reach base on an error, it does not count as an at-bat, so your average stays the same.

We did have a simpler version of that ticket a long time ago in MA - a single was worth $1, up to $1000 (or something like that) for a home run (I think there was 4 chances to win on each ticket). The thing I hated about that ticket was if you reached base on an error (a good dvent in real baseball) it was still a loser on the ticket.

it would be a new style, but it would also be a time-wasting game like bingo or the crossword games

i've sent the lotteries my ideas for new instant game styles, but they've never used any of them. perhaps a baseball themed game would be nice, in which you play 9 batters. you scratch off each batter's outcome, and you see how many runs you score before you get 3 outs.the outcomes would be as follows:singledoubletriplehome runoutdouble playtriple playyour prize would depend on how many runs you score. it would be as follows:1=$22=$43=$84=$105=$256=$1007=$5008=$25009=$20,000also, you would scrat...

I'm getting sick of each instant game having the same play style, but a different name and different graphics. In Ohio, they don't even use a different name for some games. Do you guys think the lotteries need to try something new with their instant games
