I have noticed something tho, you can tell by your quickpick if you possibly even have a chance at the xx in 18 match across the 3 lines.My winning ticket could not possibly have matched more than 7 numbers because there was only 1 repeated number... I really wouldn't mind paying $2 per game if you got to pick ALL 3 lines...my QP for tuesday has 3 pairs of numbers on it, making the max 9... no possible way of matching 10 or more, so I already know that from the multiline portion of the game, I a...

Way to go Hyper!I won't be playing again until it rolls over more than $50K per draw. But that should happen by next Friday if it continues to sell well.

Ohio needs to drop its Kicker when they change its Lotto again.

Second thoughts--Just wondering how many people power up, so to speak on games such as Powerball, and I think Ohio Lotto Kicker. Inother words where a $1 bonus option per ticket exists, what percentage of players pay the extra dollar per ticket for bonus payouts? So, maybe the built in bonus play for the extra dollar is not a bad idea, and a good way to justify it. But then, there are those people who would always take the choice not to, and don't want these type of decisions made for them. B... [ More ]

Match 6 finally got a bigger rollover. Also the number of winners in each prize category has increased for each draw. This shows that the game is popular in PA. Now that the jackpot is finally rolling over at better levels, I think I may start to play this regularly.Fri, February 6, 2004Match 6 Lotto: 2, 4, 7, 10, 11, 280 players matched 6 of 6, Jackpot Rolls to $750,000.00109 players matched 5 of 6, each receiving $1,000.00 3,304 players matched 4 of 6, each receiving $20.00 52,361 players matc...

Agree, Cash 5. and SMD.By the way, there was a good story in our local paper Tuesday (I said this on another line) about taking the cash. That annuity investment that is paid by the state probably represents an interest rate of about 2-3 %. Geez, my checking account pays better interest than that. But pay tax on the interest? I don't know. Still probably woud take the cash as you always say. Payoff that house, car, college, etc. etc. Invest, for retirement. Live off the interest. THEN T... [ More ]

What PA should have done is made Match 6, 3 plays for $1. And if you wanted the combo prize then make you pay the extra $1 for it like the Power Play is done for Powerball.

Never had luck with the Super 7, even after it was tweaked. have to agree, the radio and TV ads for match 6 are clever. There is the alternated TV ad, which is a hockey game with three goals and one goalie. Taken rioght off the pamphlet. Which i had to look twice at before I figured out what it was. Good thing that goalie isn't wearing Black and Gold or Hershey brown.HIt rate is way less on Match 6 than anything else that draws. give it a chance. Hard to beleive that people matched 10 of 6...

I'll hold out on Cash5 until it rolls to 600k, that way I only to play it a few times a year ;-)I believe that $2 per ticket is the turn-off for a 500k jackpot game...6/49 for $2 for 500k minimum vs 5/39 for $1 for $100k minimum... Cash 5 is the better value... it occasionally rolls to 1 million...and Powerball is only $1 for a chance at dream money ...Maybe if they go to $1 per ticket...I sort of miss the super 7...

Todd,I think ultimately that will prove true.I guess I'd just like to see PA come up with a unique game this is both popular and fun to play. Obviously it will be neither if the jackpot only rolls $50K at a time.On a side note, Sunday's Cash 5 is already up to $400K. Just $150K less than Match 6, $1 cheaper to play, and jackpot odds that are way better than Match 6.

smd173,I can see your point of view (giving them another chance). However, don't hold your breath. When a new game debuts and the lottery gets lots of attention, the normal thing is for the first couple of draws to generate lots of business. Then things settle down over time, and you can see if the game is going to last.Case in point is the Michagan Change Game, which died about a year after it started, even though it had a big opening.With the $50K rollover it shows (at least to me) that the...

Todd,My only hope is that perhaps it only rolled by $50K because a majority of the cash that went to the jackpot had to cover the $500K portion (since they depleated Super 6 with the roll down).If it rolls over at only $50K one more time it will really prove that no one cares.

I must say, for a state the size of Pennsylvania, a $50K rollover is dismal. The under-performing Super 6 should have been a wake-up call, but it looks like the PA Lottery is going to continue its string of confusing and poorly-structured games that don't sell well.They said when they announced the new game that they were listening to the players and giving them what they wanted. Maybe they should stop listening and provide some leadership.

I have to give PA credit on the ads for Match 6.The TV ads show a basketball player fire up a shot and it goes in the left basket of 3 baskets. The announcer says, more ways to win . I think it's pretty creative.

I will track it tho... maybe I will recycle my stupid6 spreadsheet...I sent the PA lottery a letter requesting that since it's a new game, how about putting the numbers on their website in DRAWN order... no replies yet...
