Maybe MN thinks Hot Lotto won't be around much longer. MN has a decent-sized population however.

I guess they're just trying to differentiate Gopher 5 from Northstar Cash, which doesn't make much sense because they're already pretty different. You want to increase sales? Easy, bring the balls back. Nobody wants to have a cartoon draw their numbers (which is what the casual player sees).

Minnesota has been using computerized drawings for over 2 year's now.

I'm disappointed that this lotto will go computerized. This computerized game will cause manipulation and more winners.

First they change to computerized drawings.Now they are changing the matrix from 5/42 with a bonus number to a 5/47 game with no bonus number.http://www.lottery.state.mn.us/numbers.html#G5 Looks like I'm going to be saving $10 a week now. No more Gopher 5 for me.
