In 1996, after three rollovers NY Lotto was $25 million. Now it takes eight rollovers to reach $19m.

Orange:There are/were Oneida Indians in upstate NY. The Oneidas in Wisconsin (near Green Bay) offer casino gambling. Before the Wisconsin Lottery began, the Oneida tribe started its own lottery.

Cash Only:Amarillo was named after Amarillo Creek which has a yellow soil in the creek bottom. It could have been worse. The original name was Hide Town (after the piles of buffalo hides outside of town which was located on Wild Horse Lake) It was changed to Oneida after some guy's wife for awhile, but that really was a sissy name. Amarillo is OK. Like I said, it could have been worse.Orangeman

Orange:If I were to move out of state, it would most likely be Connecticut. I do have friends there. I wouldn't have to go out of state to play Powerball; the Connecticut 6/44 game pays MUCH BETTER than the NY 6/59.BTW, why Orangeman ? Isn't Amarillo Spanish for yellow ? I wouldn't think Texans are cowardly.

Cash Only:Sure, but like they say about Amarillo, I wasn't born in Amarillo, but I got here as quick as I could. It is not where you were born, it is where you end up that counts. You sound like a good dude . You would always be welcome here in Texas.Orangeman

Orange:I've been in TX twice (1986 and 1992). Both times were in the extreme NE part of the state. I was in Dallas briefly in '86.My other visit was just after the TX Lottery started; only scratch tickets were available.Thanx for the invite; however, I don't know anyone there. I probably wouldn't like the very hot summers. I also would want to be near LA or NM for Powerball.As for politics, did you know GW Bush was born in Connecticut

Seven years ago (in the 6/54 game) two rollovers meant a jackpot of either $15m or $17m. Now, the second rollover brings the pot to only $7 million.

It would nice to see a $100M megamillion jackpot, their jackpot aren't getting any higher than many state jackpots. In Ohio a third of the time the State lottery has a bigger jackpot and Megamillion has not had the jackpot sizes that the lottery commission had hoped that would attract more players. RJOh

Mega Millions needs a $200 million jackpot soon...so that nobody would want to play NY Lotto.

Cash,Drop this nonsense already! It's their game, NOT yours. If the players feel the prize return is too LOW, they wouldn't play it.Now, the NY Lotto has been around for a very long time - 25 years. Obviously, they are doing something wrong.People love the game so they're playing it. They wouldn't play it if they felt differently.I suggest you move out of the NY state and go live in another great state like Massacusettes.

The NY Lotto game has the WORST prize return (40%) of any US lottery game, which explains why (even at two games for $1) matching three numbers wins only your dollar back, and that four numbers occasionally pays less than $20.Virtually every US lottery game returns at least 50% to players.
