Again if you can prove that Tennessee is braking the law or running an unfair lottery complain to them, get your proof in order and go after them.

Scratch offs odds are as stated on the tickets but lot of people misinterpret how the tickets are printed. If it were as you think than anyone could hang around the store and count tickets somebody buys three tickets and you get the fourth another person comes in and buys a couple tickets and you buy the next two or the sales person could have a fi...

The Tennessee and Georgia Jumbo Bucks tickets $1-$5 are the exact same game. The 1-4 ratio means that considering all of the tickets (For Jumbo bucks there are MILLIONS) the average is 1 winner out of four tickets. Since the games are printed at random they may have several winning/losing tickets in a row.

kokocat copper2 Tnvol5,

Is it really necessary to keep signing up for new memberships just to trash the Tennessee Lottery? You must have some other interests in life. I did not create Lottery Post to act as your personal rant blog. I have given you ample opportunity to voice your displeasure; I have only asked that you not turn every post into another rant. You seem unable to control yourself.

This is not an outlet for a constrant stream of anger. Nobody wants to be on a forum where the on... [ More ]

I just sent an email to the TN Lottery folks and we will see

how they respond. I told them about the missing sequence numbers.

They have been out for 109 draws at nite and to me that

is a bit much. Their hit average was 17.9. I think they have written

some of the most malicious code I have ever seen. The few players

that do hit need to make at least $5,000.00 per hit because they

don't know when they will hit again.

I think the point is that Ga lottery cash 3 cash 4 etc is all in all a much better lottery...there are tons of people playing Tn and losing.....if a scratch off says 1-4 ratio thats what it should be witnessed 20 jumbo bucks being bought and 2 tickets had free tickets ...point made

But remember the population for either state doesn't matter to C2... He sees a lot of people playing in Tennessee and that is enough to back up what he is saying. (Sarcasm

Also i'd like to add this as well.

Based on these facts from the census bureau there are 3,470,856 more people in Georgia than Tennessee

That means a lot more people in Georgia are able to play the lottery

Even if you divide the populations of both states in half there are 1,735,428 more potential players in Georgia than tennessee no wonder Georgia has a better payout.

Also there no way to determine the player versus player ratio from each state because were not privileged to t... [ More ]

Your from Georgia why do you post on Tennessee's board.

Well for me maybe it's because i like Tennessee maybe it's because my grandfather was born there maybe it's because i like Lottomike as a friend and tried to help him win at pick 4 game when they started that. Maybe it's because i can post anywhere i want in any thread and any board i feel like it.

In every state across this country scratch offs account for more revenue for the states than any other game.

Pick 3 sales may be lower in Tennessee and other states but that doesn't mean the payouts are. Many people play specific numbers every day like triples, house numbers, car tag numbers, and telephone exchanges, and such when you see payouts you have to look and that number and ask yourself what caused that number to have a better or worse payout. Many auto mechanics and car enthusiasts... [ More ]

The Lottery Commission admitted about a month ago that sales of the pick 3 and pick 4 were low, and if that continued, the scholarships would be affected. That's why TN has to keep a high reserve ($395 million presently) in scholarships. The best way to keep high reserves is to keep payouts low. They already know the popular and high pay numbers and at the appropriate time they fall, but a reserve has to be built up so the reserve is not affected. The 2009 total will definitely be much lower tha... [ More ]

You must really NOT have a life.

Back on topic... Why don't you focus on sales rather than payouts? Just because you see people playing in both Georgia and Tennessee doesn't mean anything to me. Payouts mean nothing to me. There are so many variables in your argument. I want numbers. If you are going to convince anyone of anything you must provide proof. (That doesn't include looking at payouts and seeing a few people play. You can't be everywhere in a particular state at a particular ti... [ More ]

There's only one way to prove that Tennessee's payouts are worse now than they were before they switched to computerized drawings and that is to go to their web site and get a calculator and tally up all the payout's for a year. Then check the total with 2008

Hence i already did this a few months ago but i only did a few months worth of totals. I found the average payout's for pick 3 to be on average about the same or within 20 thousand dollars more or less.

My deduction is that... [ More ]

Now that you've created a new and separate topic for complaining about the payouts in the Tennessee Lottery, please place any future complaints you may have on this topic into this one thread.

I have no problem with people complaining about their lottery, but the last thing anyone wants to read is for those complaints to be sprinkled into every single topic involving their state lottery.

There was a Lottery Post member a few years ago who would complain about the New York Lottery's low pay... [ More ]

Tennesee cash 3 cash 4 lotto plus pick 5 Rate it!

copper2 — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 12:46:49 GMT

How would you rate these games from the Tn lottery grade A,B,C,D,F.

I give cash 3 an F reason very very low payouts a lot of repeat #s.

cash 4 a B averarge payouts decent #s.

Lotto Plus I give it a D...It is no fun watching a spaceship shoot out #s

Pick 5 same as lotto plus Tn would be so much better if they had stuck with the ball draws

Once again Tn is losing money to Ky ,Ga and soon Ark. because of low payouts and low player confidence
