RJ: I predicted before the Georgia change game began six months ago that the novelty would wear off quickly because only THREE tickets statewide won ANYTHING. Not even a free play for a partial match. Besides, you can play only for the NEXT drawing. I proposed a change game which was quick-pick only, but a mini-lotto game with a multi-draw option; multiple combinations allowed on one ticket, and duplicates were possible.

I can't understant the attraction of the 'change' game in Michigan, regardless of the number of players there are only six winners. With most lotteries, the agent gets 5-7 cents to handle each play, so where is the profit when someone play only 25 cents. In Ohio, scratch-off games are selling for $2-$20, and game like pick3, pick4, pick6 and Megamillions are available and there is still an effort to improve profits from lottery games.RJOh

CASH:My guess is MD's Let it Ride was too confusing for the average player and that low sales caused its elimination after only 6 months. I think I recall MD's Lottery saying it was just an anniversary type special game, but I don't buy that.

smd: What happened with that game? As for the change games, they'll either have to change the format, or dump them.

CASH,My guess is the both GA and MI let their Change games run for either 6 months or 1 year and then ditch them. I think MD only had it's Let it Ride game play out for 6 months and then ditched it.
