I agree, this game actually appeals to me and I would play it the same way you did with multiple tickets of the same numbers.

Of course my state offers the most mundane, boring, tedious, lousy~odd games imaginable so I won't hold my breath on getting a million+ jackpot game with such odds as you described anytime soon.

So pleased you like the name.

As for All or Nothing, I honestly don't know how long they will keep it here. The lousy 5 Card Cash ran for years despite no one seeming to play it. I think AorN is seeing more in tix sales than its predecessor so we're probably stuck with it for a long time to come.

Forexworld12, You could try a different forum if you strike out here on Lottery Discussion.

Forex is currency trading, right? You like to live dangerously. Good Luck

I do have to agree with you on Sweet Million... and as I read down through this thread I wondered if Sweet Million would appear in it.

Everything you said in your post is correct, but there was a hidden beauty in SM, and it's something your post didn't mention. Sweet Million wasn't Pari-Mutuel so if you played the same set of six numbers more than once (suppose you played the same line five times) then you wouldn't win one million, you'd have won five million. And that actually did happen. Fi... [ More ]

Cash Quest with the Louisiana Lottery during the late 1990's, Triple Chance with the Texas Lottery ended last year.

No pick 3 straight numbers in Illinois lottery in almost a year(11 months). This is very strange.

My God. After seeing Posters mention how awful All Or Nothing Lottery Game was, I decided to look it up. It may just be THE worst Lottery Game EVER. You have to match 12 numbers to win!? Or match NOTHING at all to win? WTF? That doesn't even seem like a good game on PAPER

The worst lottery game was New York Lottery's Sweet Millions game.

It ran from 2009 until 2014 and was billed as having the best odds to win a million for a dollar .

Players were required to choose six numbers from 1 to 40, either by choosing their own or by asking their store clerk for a Quick Pick. It cost $1 per line, and up to 10 games could be played on a single playcard.

Matching 6 of 6 (1 in 3,838,380) won you a $1 mil prize, but if there were no winners, the jackpot did not roll... [ More ]

Maryland has several instant win games in denominations from $1 to $10. Ask for it, pull out of the lottery machines and realize you have just given away more money to a compute generated game. They are like scratch off games without having to scratch them. Another game of chance where the Maryland State Lottery has the upper hand.

That seems a lot like Jackpot Triple Play. :) For $1, you get THREE lines. For $2, you can mix and match the numbers.

I played this game before, thought it gave the best 'bang for the buck' since you get 2 games for $1. No another game was that cheap. Since I thought of it as cheap it was always more 'fun' to play and could play 2 of my lines for only a $1. I hit 4 of 6 once or twice

Hands down the Lotto game in NY. The absolute worst. Only won $1 ever on it.

Will vouch for '5 card cash' only game they suspended the drawings here due to covid but in reality it's a terrible game that nobody was really playing from the get go.

Another game is 'Cash Pop

To each his own I guess. I've actually had more winners (albeit nothing big) playing Lucky for Life than any other game. I used to like Hot Lotto for the same reason until all the shenanigans occurred but it's replacement Lotto America is a dog, imho.

What is the All or Nothing game like in your state?

Here it's 11/22 with $100K jackpot for $2 a ticket. It's now a twice daily game. There doesn't seem to be any uptick in wins since they added the extra daily draw.

I was just about to post that myself

they have that game in the state right next to mine - use to play it - until I really looked into the odds/cash payout.

all that and its a $2 game.

not great.

And that game does not hit often either - I use to follow it a lot.

Also the 5 card cash was horrible in WI per SaraAnnRapp - can confirm.

Lucky For Life has been the worst game ever. Cash 4 Life is much better.

They had a 5 Card Cash draw game here for a couple years that no one seemed to play. It was a weird, confusing gimmick where you got a poker hand and could win something immediately and again later in the day when the cards were drawn. Frankly the game was dumber than a box of crayons. It's not surprising it failed miserably, it's only surprising that the lottery kept it going as long as they did.

Worst Lottery Games You have ever played? :/

Lucky Lines was AWFUL. It was a Bingo type of draw game that paid out like The Lottery. I only won like $10 on it at THE MOST. Lucky Lines was so awful it was pulled after only three years. You know a draw game is awful when it only lives, for three years. . Florida Lotto has been here for about 32 years as a huge contrast to the thankfully short lived Lucky Lucky Lines.

Price Is Right Lottery scratch off game was AWFUL. It SEEMED like it should be a WONDERFUL game(It was actually like
