The possibility of combinations of letters with scatological references being posted as winning combinations would preclude the use of letters in lotteries.glj

Numbers are more people-friendly than letters. I don't have a favorite letter.

I used kinda like a pick 3 or 4 game to go by. Have $1 play and $.50 play. Box STR STRBOX or COMBO.

About the only thing i have done with letters is to assign numbers to them and ues the letters of names and such converted to numbers to play different lottery games. A=1 b=2 and so on then take the name of each family member and make some tickets for the mega mill from them. Ok i know what about the other numbers after 26 well 27=1 28=2Then for ha ha's i do it in reverse order. never won the big pot but have won some money doing this.

It's really simple. Just pick a letter from a-z, then pick another letter from a-z. Like the winning letters for one draw would be GX, or another draw the combo would be HM. I'm sure state abbreves will be hot combos.

probably havent thought this out long enough, but they game could basically be half the game that mega ball is it it had 5 +1 ...all in all i dont think it would be worth it

I was thinking about why lotteries use numbers rather than letters. I know GA had the change game that used a strange combination of both. I think it would be cool to have a pick 2 game and instead of haveing numbers they make them letters. Have 2 ball machines with a-z in both. Match 2 letters and win a prize. What do you guys think.
