BA - Is that for a $0.50 bet or a $1.00 bet? Sounds more like a $1.00 bet..... The NJ 999, which no matter how you slice it is low, was for a $0.50 bet.

Oooops, never mind....just found the 777 in PA that fell on 30-Apr. Looks like you're referring to a $1.00 bet at $500

04/30/08

Winning Numbers: 7 7 7

$0.50 Straight bet pays $250.00

$0.50 Boxed bet pays $0.00

36,099 winners for a total of $8,957,250.00

I've made more playing pick 3 4 games then any other lottery game. It's not always about getting Rich , it's about winning...

This tells me not to waste my time and money playing trips in a pari-mutuel state

All of California lottery games have pari-mutel payouts. That the reason when MegaMillions has lots of winners in that state the category pays less than the other MM states and when they have just a few winners the cateorgy pays a lot more than the other MM states. No one complains when they are the only winner in their prize category and get all the money.

pari-mutuel: A collective system of betting where winners share in total profits/losses.

Lots of Winners=Low Payouts!

Low Number of Players=Low Payouts!

Lots of Winners and Low Number of Players=Really Low Payouts!

Guess who benefits from pari-mutuel betting

Pari-mutel payout.

The state will get their percentage no matter what hits.

How many payouts have gone over 500 dollars though
