In other words, it was SGI who suggested PA offer Unlucky for Life

Well, the guy said I had an entreprenuerial spirit. But them I got the old we only listen to Scientific Games spiel. Of course I could send my idea to Scientific, but they never respond to anything I say.This is a poster child example on how not to run a business.

PA won't buy GOOD ideas...for them, you could try stuff like1. $1 a day for life! (what would you do with a check a day in your mailbox!)2. Whack-A-Groundhog Instant Game (Look out Gus!) over $1,000,000 in cash (1,000,000 $1 winners)3. Lucky for Life happy terminal tune re-mix... if you plunk down $2 for the game that was custom tailored to lottery player's requests, and the happy tune plays backwards and the voice of satan (or Ed Rendell) says buy more tickets you win $20 instead of $10...

Submit and document. Some one did that few years ago (on a card) and got a cash for the idea. You never know what some one will buy.

Jimmy- I think your concept is ingenious! Seriously , have you considered suggesting your ideas to the state lotteries? PA could use a game like this to take over the Unlucky for life game. I'd certainly buy a ticket or two just to get the hang of it! thanks for sharing some of your concepts

You want all the lotteries to go bankrupt!Please. I calculated it to 50%, sometimes even 60%. What more do you want me to do? You are the guy who thought 4/10 in keno should pay $5,000 (remember your Kenoball thread). What is that? A 50,000% payout? God forbid I create an idea that's actually DOABLE

MA Ca$h WinFall just had a record day for sales for its recent Winfall. The game is picking up speed despite its $2 price.

It's not allowed to rolldown at the minimum level. The wheel only comes out when it's $5M or above.

Well it can't rolldown at the starting level. You would start the jackpot at 1 or 2 million and when it reaches 5 then it would rolldown. Michigan Winfall and Mass Winfall are examples.Brad

That sounds like an interesting game. However, the state lottery could go bankrupt if it constantly got roll down at the starting jackpot level.

Like a water balloon, you never know when the jackpot can burst open!Once the jackpot reaches $5,000,000 (30 year annuity), something interesting happens. It doesn't just keep rolling, and it doesn't just rolldown. What happens is a PowerPlay-style wheel comes out. It has 6 slots, 4 are Roll Over slots, 2 are Roll Down slots.If it lands in the Roll Over slot, the jackpot will roll into the next draw if nobody wins.If it lands in the Roll Down slot, should there be no winner, the jackpot...
