I know that LoP is a bingo-style can-win-only-once-on-a-ticket game, so I would not be p***ed off like so many players appear to have been. The one thing that bothers me about LoP (the game it replaced, Super Lotto Plus, had the same rule) is that the cash option is exactly 50% of the annuity, instead of a floating percentage like MM and PB.

It's a $2 GAME ?!?!?!?! Oh my God!!! Are you for real? So you're telling me that A Powerball ticket for a larger jackpot is cheaper than Lot O'Play, a game that looks like it's terrible. I'm from Nebraska so I don't play Ohio lottery games but just reading about this game tells me that Lot O Play is horrendous.

But on a per-dollar basis, the odds of winning a jackpot are only slightly better, as LoP is a $2 game.

I looked at the Ohio Lottery website FAQ about Lot O Playhttp://www.ohiolottery.com/games/lotoplay/lotolay_qa.html We also lowered the odds to win the jackpot by more than half. They were 1 in 14 million in Super Lotto Plus, and are now 1 in 6.3 million with Lot 'O Play. But shouldn't it say.... We also increased the odds to win the jackpot by more than half. They were 1 in 14 million in Super Lotto Plus, and are now 1 in 6.3 million with Lot 'O Play. After all 1/6,300,000 is greater than... [ More ]

West Virginia has a 6/25 game. Its top prize is paid in lump sum. And it's only $1 a play.

Cash, what's wrong with you? You might be suffering from millionaire-osis! :-)Just bec. Lucky For Life pays you $3000/mo instead of megaripoffmillions, why the big fuss?Can't you see that LFL has only a 38-number number field? Some of the best odds around!Hey, you can't win if you choose not to play

Another new low for LoP. The payout for Wednesday, 11/30 was just over $200,000.

The OH Lottery is planning a public hearing on 12/19 about a proposed rule change for LoP. I suppose player comments will be mostly complaints about the style of the game.

I've played OH LotO'Play and don't like it. I haven't played PA Lucky for Life, so I can't talk intelligently about it. I think a person should have the chance to play a game before expressing an opinion about it. If they can't choose not to play then the fact that they don't play doesn't mean much.

I would love to win $3,000 a week for life. I see nothing wrong with that. I doubt many people would turn that away, even CASH.

I wanted to throw the Ohio game in there because its sales are falling like a rock, despite the jackpot.

Ok. Cash OLY: Seriously, why do you keep doing this? It's a waste of Internet space. I've said it beore, and I'll say it again, if you don't like a game, DON'T PLAY IT!Personally, I like both games equally. I mean, PA's Lucky for Life Lotto may only pay $3000 a week for life, but that's for life, and the odds of winning that prize are better than winning. That can be either $1 million, or a lot more, depending on how long you live, and if you don't live to see the whole million, your estate... [ More ]

I really can't say which game is worse, since I haven't played any of them before. But it seems a few people on LP have had a bit of luck winning some money off those games.

The fact that LoP has a cash option, even though it's not as much as it SHOULD be, makes it a better game than UfL. I know that LoP is a bingo hybrid; many players don't seem to realize it.

I don't like unlucky for life [my vote] game for PA. I think they should have scrapped this game and focus on Powerball instead. The LoP is better thank Unlucky for Life.

Both games create instant winners. LoP, among other things, has the cash value at exactly 50% of the annuity instead of a floating percentage. UfL does not have a cash option.
