Mike:

I was reading on the PA site the other day about something they do there. Seems they broadcast 'simulated' draws....... I think I've read where they do that on other lotteries, as well.

So maybe now that a person can 'watch the draw', even though the numbers are coming out of a computer and the images a person's watching exist only in the imagination of God, heck Mike, maybe now they're more trustworthy.

i agree jack.can't trust computerized draws.i think you'd have a lot of fun playing and watching the ball drawings on the pick 5 here.i once had the first 4 numbers drawn and waiting for that fifth ball i crossed my fingers but the last ball drawn was a 12 and i think i had a 14.so close.........

I play only Powerball, though I've only recently ceased playing New Mexico Road Runner pick 5 (5/34). If I were in a state with a pick 5 I trusted I'd play it.

I play jackpot games because I think I stand a better shot at getting a decent win from it than from pick 3 and pick 4. I don't consider the odds to be a significant factor in winning and losing. If I did, I wouldn't play pick 3, pick 4, pick 5, or Powerball.

The elusive jackpot on a solid hit , five for five, or six fo six, is too tempting for a lot of people.

In Illinois the prizes for a close hit are insults, miss the lotto by one and a prize that would have been over $2,000,000 turns into less than $1,000, whoop tee doo.

I'd really like to see Litle Lotto reveryt back to 5/30 with a constant $200,000 jackpot and aggregate prizes for 3 and 4 hits, sure paid better than $10 and $100.

I was wondering something.How many of you play lotto and play pick 3,4.For example,in my state for lotto,chance to hit something will looks like this :

SECOND PRIZE:1:36,881$1,000*

Match five of the six numbers in any order

THIRD PRIZE:1:656$33*

Match four of the six numbers in any order

and for little lotto: SECOND PRIZE:1:3,387$100

Match four winning numbers in one game grid.

THIRD PRIZE:1:103$10

Match any three winning numbers in one game grid.
