I like pigs. They're supposed to make good pets. I've heard they are very intelligent too. I once had a pig as a pet. He was funny. A real ham. I only had him for a short time, because he wouldn't eat kosher food.

Apparently the buildup for the guest host lasted longer than the show. If they bring back the last two hosts of Cash Explosion who seemed to be pushing each other out of the way to get more on camera time, there won't be any room for a guest host.

I haven't talked to anybody that played Make Me Famous Make Me Rich or sent in ENTRY tickets so I don't know if they printed more of them because they had more contestants. With free tickets on other scratch-off games at least they get a chance to... [ More ]

My lottery consumption is less than last year. The odds are a contributing factor, also the majority of winners in NY, are in NYC, numerous second place MM winners are in NYC, in fact two MM jackpots were won in NYC. The NY Lotto which has a pari-mutual second place prize, and the jackpot are consistently being won in NYC. Everytime I see a winner in NYC, its just another nail in the lottery coffin. I love playing the lottery, lottery stories, I can't get enough of it. I love t... [ More ]

Hey, you can dress up a pig and put lipstick on it, but it's still a pig.

Agreed! I think most people realize thjat but it seems there is a percentage that really thinks the lottery exists to make all the players, or at least themself, rich.

We know that is hardly the case. Making the occassional gavone rich just happens to be part of the cost of doing business! And it's good PR.

It's a business. I mean, you can dress it up all you want and call it customer service, but that's what most changes are for. Example, when my bank wrote that to better service its customers they were no longer mailing checks with the bank statements (I went all electronic anyway) it is to save THEM money, not the customers.

That doesn't surprise me, people keep saying they would like to see more people share the wealth but when it means smaller prizes for more players, they lose interest. Twenty-four players winning $1K to $3K and one winning $50K is not as interesting as six players winning $5K to $10K and one winning $50K.

I saw the notice on their website but they are still taking applications for guess hosts for the Make Me Famous Make Me Rich show. I wonder if they are planning to have both

''To get more sales, the Texas Lottery Commission will be starting a game in November called Daily Four, which will be similar to Pick Three, the most popular game.

Did you see where Make Me Famous Make Me Rich is getting replaced by Cash Explosion Double Play?

Make Me Famous, Make Me Rich has not met sales or profit expectations for the Lottery Profits Education Fund according to the Ohio Lottery's June 18 press release.

If you re tired of high odds and low payoffs, let your state lottery know.

The state know if players like a game or not by the number of tickets sold. When Ohioans didn't buy Lot'O Play tickets, the state got rid of the game.

If you are buying lottery tickets and complaining about the odds and the low payouts, the state doesn't a problem, you do. The state only has a problem when it can't sell any tickets.

Hate to disagree with you coin toss.

The people running our lotteries are not the brightest bulbs on the block.

A normal business person will start to do a bit of questioning if their sales fall off.

The first one is always Are my prices competitive? .

The lotto bosses either don t take the time or do not have the intelligence to question why revenues are down.

Their reaction to falling revenues is always, without exception, raising the odds or starting a new game.

Nope, the onl... [ More ]

There have been similar discussions here before. The best way of 'contacting' a state lottery (re: a specific game) is to have enough people not play the game in question.

But the lottery knows if you offer it they will play , to paraphrase Field of Dreams.

People need to remember that while the lotteries need players to have a business, the 'raison d'etre' for the lottries is to make money.

As a rule I am not an activist and generally keep my opinions to myself but, according to the article I just read, it appears that the Texas Lottery is having money woes and there are still plans for privatizing it.

Digging a bit deeper, this appears to be a trend in that other states have already done it and others are considering it.

The reason given in each case is falling revenues from their prospective lotteries.
