Curt: How many numbers are in a lotto game means very little to me. If NY Lotto 6/59 had a 50% prize pool, with a $3 prize for matching three numbers, and, the rest of the additional prize money added to the four-number prize, I would not be complaining about NY Lotto (except for the requirement that players must choose cash/annuity _when_ we play.) BTW, Lotto Texas may soon become a 6/59 game, $1-a-play...however, Lotto TX has a _55%_ prize return
