I agree. In this game they extended the payouts for a roll-over jackpot and included a 2 of 5 payout, sacrificing the 3 of 5 and 4 of 5 payouts. But this particular game's jackpot payouts (with rollovers) are worth the sacrifice in my opinion. I'm only playing for the jackpot or to get my buck back. The 3 of 5 and 4 of 5 payouts are a joke. I only play a buck per draw and usually get my buck back a couple times a week.

So in that sense, I like the new game. $275,000 jackpot tonight.... [ More ]

IL Little Lotto -- it's not worth it....if you get 4 out of 5 numbers you only get $100. I'd do better to play the 3 or 4 digit with that kind of payout. It's ridiculous. It was better when they had the pari-mutual payout for 4 numbers, at least that was a decent payout.

Missouri's Showme5 game has 44 balls. If you happen to beat the odds and get all 5 numbers right out of the 44, the max you can get is $50,000. That's just wrong! That is taxes paid and the lower tiered prizes are good, but it should have a higher jackpot than that. The lower tiered prizes are lowered substantially if the jackpot is hit. For instance, 4 out of 5 on this games gets you $750. But if the jackpot is hit, the lower tiered prize becomes $250 for 4 of 5. I believe MO is the only Pick 5... [ More ]

Jimmy,

Scratch-offs have the best odds of hitting something (usually a buck or two), but are the very worst in odds-to-payout ratio.

Illinois's regular lotto is a 6/52 but if you are not winning the jackpot

the games payouts are terrible. I just dont understand the big gap

in the 1st place prize and the 2nd place prize. Since the lottery makes

billions every year (at least in Illinois) when are they ever going to put

some more money back into the games. The lottery is nothing without

the players but it seems we get the short end of the stick with the payouts.

Sometimes I wonder if there was a nation wid... [ More ]

yep i agree.banning something that affects the livelihood of an estimated 22 million people who play online might just come back to haunt them.a survey showed most of those people who were banned were regular voters for the republican party and if you do a search on the net you'll find a lot of disgruntled people who are switching sides.i'm not going to post any links but i will bet the farm you won't have any trouble finding it doing a google search.

I don't hate any game Texas offers now. I used to hate the Texas Lotto when it had the bonus ball, but like the 6-54 game. My favorite game is Pick 3 because I can actually win it. I do hate the Pick 3 odds ratio at 500 to 1 when offshore casinos offer up to 900 to 1. I realize the state doesn't offer lottery games for the entertainment and profit of the public, but I would like to see them give the average player a break once in awhile. The Frist debacle will bite the GOP in the future. H... [ More ]

1. Any game that is annuity-only. This includes the online game Lose for Life; while it has a cash option in VA, it's for only 10 years' worth of quarterly payments.

2. NY Lotto, the world's biggest ripoff, as the prize pool is only 38%-40% of sales.

I don't hate, I dislike. I used to dislike the big-4 game until I finally hit it...twice in a few months. You only dislike something though usually because of losing all the time. But a win will change that. I dislike the powerball because it pays crap back for it's lower tier prizes. I dislike LFL because it seems like it should be a lot easier to win than it is, and I dislike the $2.00 price tag.

However I would rather play and take the chance as opposed to stopping and wondering what if... [ More ]

If my state had the Mass. game instead of the Pick 4 it has I would have got paid something a whole lot of times that I got nothing.

I hate Powerball because its way to hard to win. I would rather win smaller amounts more often with the pick 3 or 4.

JimmySand9 — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 05:41:56 GMT

The Mass game, IMHO, is a lot of games at the same time. A pick 4, 3, 2, and 1 is a better way to describe it.

Go to the Massachusetts Lottery website and look at their Pick 4. You don't have to hit 4. And I'm not talking front pair / back pair.

Wow, Pick Four is my favorite game. Yes it is extremely hard to hit a straight but that's why it pays so well.

JimmySand9 — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 01:47:11 GMT

I voted for Pick 4. Extremely hard to win anything at. At least with Powerball you have a biting chance of getting some of your money back, even if the top prize is impossible.

And what's with all the hating on scratch-offs? They're the best of all. They have the best odds, and have the highest payout percentages.

Don't have a problem with Powerball or MegaM, but i wish they lower the range of the bonus ball from 1-46 to 1-27, just like California superlotto...

Wish also that we didn't have so many scratchoffs. They are worse than a pick6 i think and they are so many of them...

Hate might be too strong a word for a game. I no longer play pick 3 and have given up on Megamillions. I'm sure Mega will make a record for the most jackpots won for any year by a multistate game and I'm also sure that the Mega group will do nothing to fix it.

It seems that people in the government are all too eager to prevent internet gambling and offering a good game for their player at the same time. I don't know what could fix mega other than a price increase but considering how low the... [ More ]

I tend to favor the jackpot games, but I can live with most any game if I'm able to cash a ticket on it.

Come to think of it, we have a bingo scratch-off game that I have a rather strong dislike for. It's inordinately complicated and time consuming to play. And I never won any more than a very few bucks on it. Some people absolutely love this scratcher, but I think it's just an annoying exercise in masochism. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely, do not play it if you hate it. You will hate it even worse if you lose. The last thing is you will not try asert yourself or really have any fun. It is a vicious cycle.
