yes, but instant tickets take care of the id, by giving instant gratification. some people can't wait until the draw time.

Scratch tickets. :)Might be more worthwhile to play numbers games instead, that way your chances are based on your decisions.

I'm surprised nobody voted for the crossword-style games.

One neat feature on the Pa Lottery web site, is they post how many winners are left. It's not real time but is updated about once a week. I play the games with the most prizes left.I must admit I'm guilty of the biggest of all scratch off ticket sins. I don't play the game, but just rub the edge to look for winners.Chas

There is only one purpose for scratch off games and that is to generate money for the general fund and stadium authority at least here in Maryland. True some might get pleasure out of scratching a bingo ticket and going whoopee I won two bucks. The Maryland Lottery is a billion and a half dollar a year industry. They are definitely in it for the money and anybody who plays should also be into it too win some of the pie. Whenever i buy a ticket the whole time i'm holding it and clear up to the po... [ More ]

remember that there is more to scratch-off games than winning money. the lotteries try to add an aspect of fun to them as well, not to mention that they also have some of them designed so that the help pass the time away.

Scratchers that have at least 10 grand or more as the high tier prize. I have won a 9 grand prize and after taxes i was lucky to walk away with 6200. I prefer the big tier scratchers now. Win for life would be great. The only problem with scratchers is they print so many of them that if you do win big on one you were definetly in the right place at the right time. Having tracked where the big hits were, most came from high volume ticket sellers. And not the small voulme sellers. Sure one or two

like win for life and set for life, i really see no point in playing bingo or any $2 games that has the jackpot at only $10 g's or $20. I feel other then trying to kill some time, people should stay away from those games due to the logic of winning only $10 g's as to win for life which is over a million for just two dollars. 10's is not going to change your life so why waste $2 on bingo or crossword when you can get a shot at win for life, plus the odd of winning the jackpot of bingo to win for...

i am aware that they are similar to play, but i kept them seperate because there are people who prefer to play crossword games over bingo games.

Actually bingo, keno, crossword, and a few others are all pretty similar in play. Match a group of numbers, letters, or symbols, to another groop. I really like those becasue they take a while to play, and for the extra cost ($2 to $5 ) per ticket, I want to get my money's worth of playing time. There are also similar games (like Battleship and Fortune hunter) where like the bingo caller numbers, rub the squares, and get co-ordinates. (like spread sheet cells) . Match to the play area grid... [ More ]
