If they can't make enough money off dollar bets they need to fire someone up top.

I might be wrong, but I think some states, Texas being one of them, have opted to offer additional chances to win, such as the Megaplier in MegaMillions and the Sumitup (ck sp) that will be instituted with Pick 3 and Pick 4.

Players have a choice - one line for $1, or, one line for $1 and $1 more to guess the sum or a chance to double the secondary prize.

Florida has EZmatch with their Pick5 game. La. is starting a new Pick 5 game with EZmatch.

IMHO, it will be quite awhile before $2 t... [ More ]

And money you stole from work! Okay! But I think you meant it as a joke, but many employers are robbed blind by their employees! Speaking of robbery, I just do believe that the lottery clerk just 'robbed' a customer of $10.00! Her tickets were $33.00 total, she gave him a $20 and a $10 dollar bill.
