If Ten-Oh used Greg's payoff structure it would be the most popular game ever and the Ohio Lottery would have a huge loss because those $5000 to $10,000 per game payoffs have many 6, 7, and 8 matches. When the payoffs are over $12k, somebody probably matched 9 and won $6000.

I matched 6 numbers twice last week and they paid me $10; the week before I matched 7 and got $40. The same win would have been $200,000 in his National Keno proposal and that 8 match I had in December would have added an... [ More ]

In NY many refer to the Quick Draw game as crack draw because it's so addicting.

It might be worth playing if the payouts were a little better. The odds of hitting all three numbers in a three spot are 72:1 yet they only pay $23.00. At least in the Pick 3 you get half your money back.

Ohio Ten O is a keno game and judging from the amount of payouts, it's the least popular of all it's lottery games. Pick3 have payouts of $100K to $1M+ per drawing while Ten O have payouts are $5-$10K per drawing.

Ohio governor has propose having a keno type of game in the bars to raises more money for the state. Apparently he thinks it would be a more popular game if people could play it while they were drinking.

Even if it was done on a 3-month experimental basis...

It's time to share the wealth-- the wealth generated by us hard working players

It would be fun all right; especially getting $50,000 for matching 6 out 10 when the odds are 1 in 87. And getting a half million for matching sure beats the $40 I get in Ohio's Ten-Oh game!

Look at the actually odds and you might consider reevaluating your payoffs.
