I BET there will be some people (I am talking especially about those that play rarely on occassion, play QPs and are not aware the game will change Feb 1.) when they see the QP for the Cash 5 they asked for contains a # with 40s in it (or even better a QP line with #43 in it). Since these people are not used to seeing that before on their tickets they will be left thinking something is WRONG here....Well ..surprise...the game just got a little harder sucker...

The odds for jackpot of the PA Cash 5 game will go from 575,757 to 962,598 or a 1.67 increase.

The starting jackpot for the New Cash 5 will change from $100,000 to $125,000 or a 1.25 increase.

My feeling is...if the decided to absolutely make a change to the game do it with 42 balls (3 extra balls) the odds would have been 850,668 a 1.47 increase...4 extra balls indicates that they don't care because they know they will have their way... people will still play this game

sorry i ranted... but i think 43 numbers in a 5 number game is cheating the players.one or two other states do this.i know missouri has 43 numbers and i might be wrong but i think new jersey did do something like this.hope like hell it isn't a trend.next thing you know all these other states will follow with similar changes.i guess they think by raising the matrix the jackpot will tend to grow to a bigger amount but in these days of 300 million dollar powerball and mega million jackpots i don't...

Unless he is running for re-election and you can produce a petition with enough signatures to get his attention, you might have a problem correcting these atrocities.

I wish you luck. Here in Tennessee we have a few state legialature members that are in the process of forcing the lotto to go back to ball drawn. Where these state senators came from is still a mystery. You might have better luck contacting your state senator or state representative. See where they stand.

Good luck.

Dear Governor Rendell,

Are you aware of what our Lottery Executives are doing? I am writing you to protest decisions they are making that continue to destroy the PA Lottery as well as the enthusiasm of those who play in our great state.

One, the number matrix of the very popular Cash 5 Game, a game won at least every other night on average, is increasing from 39 numbers to 43 numbers and this increases the odds against Pennsylvanians winning. This is probably the most popular PA game yet... [ More ]
