One other thing to look out for in "instant" on-line games like this are dishonest clerks. Since each ez-match ticket is printed individually, a clerk can take a quick look at the "matching" numbers and see if it is an ez-match winner. If a ticket or tickets are winner(s) then the clerk can simply punch up another quick pick or if it is a larger winner ($5 or more), re-run the customer play slip to make it look legit, keeping the set of tickets with the ez-match winner and giving the customer th...

I voted "No way I'll throw my money away on this." While I still like the Florida Fantasy 5 game, I won't be playing the EZMatch.

Thanks for clearing this up, Bob

The lottery retailers were told not to release the play slips until March 20th. If I could have read the back of the play slip I would have understood better.

The TV ads and pamphlet they put out were at best not clear on how it worked.

I've been dealing with lottery a long time. Was Lotto World Magazine's New Jersey Bureau Chief and sometimes a Columnist/Writer so when I misunderstand how the game is played it isn't some newbie misunderstanding basic rules, it's because the ad copy wa... [ More ]

Too bad that the money that is not paid out in the ezmatch prizes, couldn't be added to the fantasy 5 pool. But that might cause people to purchase more tickets with a higher payout in the fantasy 5. What was I thinking

They don't worry about the expense for new betslips. They've got plenty of Floridians funding them.....LOL

BobP, congrats on you $2 $3 matches. I bought $10 ($20 total) and got nothing.

I would be surprised to see this game stay very long. Then they can pay more money to have the game slips printed back to what they were.

Well I am sorry. I tend to read what I want to see into things like misleading Florida Lottery pamphlets that you can only understand after seeing the game in action by buying tickets.

The ezmatch pamphlet gives the impression by illustration suggesting the three winning numbers were drawn and the drawn numbers also match the ezmatch numbers which are identical to three of the played numbers circled as winners. I thought this meant that to buy all the numbers on 8 lines, 5 ezmatch wins of so... [ More ]
