Good point! However, there have been too many lottery officials who have turned to the dark side. Hopefully, GA and VA won't make that mistake, and will insist that WFL is ball drawn.

Good news for Cash Only.

I doubt they'll be going computerized. Remember any decisions regarding this game has to be approved by each lottery, and I doubt GA and VA would want to go that route.

Making Win For Life computerized would be the biggest mistake they could make. Hopefully, the lottery officials know better. Maybe we need to email them the link to the petition to eliminate computerized drawings

It wouldn't surprise me either. Perhaps it would be a good thing if TN joined. We'll have to wait and see what type of game it is - matrix, ball vs computer drawn, etc. I haven't found any specifics about the game, but then I haven't spent a lot of time searching either.

I hope win for life isn't computerized. What would be the rules of win for life when it starts in February? Oh well, I guess no more Lotto Georgia and/or Lotto South down the line.

I wonder if TN is looking to join this win for life game. Wouldn't at all surprise me if they are looking into it.

I don't know what to think about this. I'll have to reserve judgement until after I see the game specs.

That would certainly be a win-win situation!If the GLC would reintroduce Lotto Georgia in its original format, I'd be so happy that I'd be willing to spend some of my lottery budget on their new Win For Life game, too (IF WFL is ball drawn

I don't think it precludes Virginia and Georgia reintroducing their 6-ball games. Most states seem to have both a Win For Life annuity game and an in-state jackpot game.

Agreed. I wonder what the matrix of this new game will be, and if it will be ball drawn. If it's computer drawn, I won't be playing.Perhaps this will just be a brief detour before Georgia reconsiders bringing back Lotto Georgia

However it does mean goodbye Lotto South which IMHO is a good thing

That means the top prize will always be a fixed annuity. With three states participating, the secondary prizes could be much larger than those in the current Lotto South format.
