I emailed PA state lottery asking them if they will ever raise the jackpot prize value, or make any other changes with the game. Personally I like the game, and I like only 38 balls. I have macthed 4 of 6 about 4 times or so, and the pay out was indeed pathetic, ($40) but at least got some of my money back, and more money to give them right back in following weeks. But I think that the cost of inflation would present a lot of problems with only $2250 a month in the future. Probably even less tha... [ More ]

Although I think LFL's prize structure is bad, having gotten 4/6 numbers 4 times in the last year and a half, I think Lucky for Life is a beatable game. And I'm determined to get 6/6, soon I hope!Who's with me?:-)By the way you PA lottery execs reading this, bring us a 10-20-80 KENO game. What are you you afraid of? Who wants to pay for gas to drive to Atlantic City to play? After all, look at how many states now have the popular scratch-off Texas Hold 'Em? Don't wait for the trend, START I... [ More ]

If I lived closer to the Pa line I would buy one ticket for every draw no matter what. I'd probably play the same numbers every day unless they drew the same or similar numbers in the last draw. Here's how I look at it. I used to hit the soda machines every day buying as many as 5 sodas a day. I stopped drinking so many sodas now I buy lottery tickets with that money.I think of the lottery as an investment even though I might never reap the big return, I know my money is going to some cause.

Hey I would take it, just minus work alone would suffice. $2 though does influence me to not play frequently however. I was simply saying that with the high expectations of the larger jackpots out there, these smaller ones tend to get over-shadowed a lot. I still play it personally, and would have no problem collecting the dough, and maximizing it's potential. But I know some here are not satisfied with the game. If it was $1 I would definitely play more.

show me where you can for a buck turn a 1 dollar investment and net 270,000 in ten years and i'll empty my bank account.27,000 a year supplemental income can buy a really nice house. And a new vehicle every 3 to 5 yrs.Not to include a nest egg if you know how to invest the money. It all depends on how you look at it. Seems like everybody wants to win a lottery game and be set for life. I'm sure they looked at the overall projection the amount of dollars they might have to pay in the long run. I... [ More ]

I know many do not like this game due to the small payouts, and annuity. But I could not believe it when I found out they don't even pay you $3,000 a month, or even $36,000 annually. After taxes it actually comes to about $27,000 annually, or $2250,00 per month. I have matched 4 out of 6 numbers 3 times so far out of about 100 plays. I was pretty upset to only receive $40 for matching 4 out of 6. Although I could live off of that much a month, and am now, it would not be all that great. I believ... [ More ]
