That is awful! I have lost my shorts here in Indiana with the computerized games. Fortunantly, I dont spend 20-30 a day anymore. The main reason is that after playing for 6 years I am now broke. I havent even won a stright combo in 6 years playing 20 or more a day. Just think how the little old lady on a limited income is doing thinking she has a chance on the 1 ticket she buys. I am sorry to hear about them going to RNG. As for me, I like Ohio, but driving there is 2 hours. At least you have a... [ More ]

Todd GillaKy pays $600 at any retail outlet and Tn pays up to $599 with the option of paying some cash and the rest by money order which I believe is stupid. Whats the purpose of playing in Tn if you have to get paid by money order then find somewhere to cash it. nobie23

That would make Missouri the first state to make the cash 3 an automatic tax visit with a straight play.....that trend needs to stop right there in Missouri.

Bryan, That blows. I really dont trust those computerized drawings, random numbers my ass. This is perfect for them. A true cash cow. Pack up the truck and head my way to Chi-town. Take care and good Luck. Eddie

gilla: it's like that everywhere, which is why people (from any state) should attempt to structure their ticket purchases (esp. Pick 3 games) so that you'll never have a prize greater than $599 on one ticket.

In Ga., any ticket over $599 has to be redeemed at the lottery house...therefore, you have to give them info... how is it in Missouri...? Sux that y'all will be playing a machine against the wall ....hope Ga. don't go that way...

Here is what I do not like about the MO Lottery.- They take forever to tell you the next lotto jackpot. They tell you the next Powerball jackpot before the Lotto jackpot.- They don't tell you anything.- Only one drawing per day (Yes that will change.)- Crappy Lotto Jackpot.- They don't really have an original online game.

Bryan,Thanks for posting. I couldn't find any info on ODDS (Online Daily Draw System) software, so I'm guessing it's home-grown software.They go to great lengths to describe the drawing process, but I'm still wondering what they mean by people will watch the drawing from an external video feed. What, they're going to watch a tape of someone hitting a button on the keyboard??I'm sure NASA would have a much more impressive list of technology they could spew, but accidents and bugs still happen t...

Wow! Did I ever get a response to my e-mail. I had to scroll down 7 times with my scroll button on my mouse to read the whole response. It was very informative. It is what should have been posted on the website at least 2 weeks ago, if not longer. One section of the response said they were going to post something on the website tonight about it. That's a 3 day notice before it happens.Anyway, they have actually raised the prizes again, but only $2 per hit. It's a flat $600 dollars for a P3 strai... [ More ]

Yes, I was afraid that something like this was going to happen. However, I did not think that it would happen so soon. I am really ticked off at this type of change. I have, however, been hitting the Pick 3 here in Missouri really, really hard though. I just keep catching a ton of straight bets practically each and every night. Yesterday and today for example, I caught the 458 and the 941 both straight. Twenty times. Each number. I think that my excessive winnings have been drawing some

I don't know Bob,I'm not sure how long ago it was, but it hasn't been that long ago that they went to the upper payouts. (maybe 5 years) And considering MO made the most money of any lottery in the US this year I can't see them changing the payouts, but you never know....Thanks Bob,Bryan

Bluegrass — Fri, 16 Jul 2004 05:29:16 GMT

Bryan, Are they going to alter the pay-outs ? MO is still among the best in that department. Going to scrap all my MO data and programs, don't like the 'random' drawings at all. Best wishes buddy, hope you can find a way to keep winning ! Bob

Bryan — Fri, 16 Jul 2004 04:50:11 GMT

Yeah, they had some mathematician (sp) on T.V. talking about how it was truly random and he has tested over and over and all is well. They have done like 35,000 test drawings to see the results to test this new method. blah, blah, blah....It wouldn't have been so bad if they would have told us up front and we knew it was coming. That's the part that bugs me so bad....Well, I said I was done ranting. So, I'll hold to that...Good Luck Everyone,Bryan

Don't let them tell you it's a true RNG either Bryan. It's just another Pseudo or PRNG. I would have to guit ...... The thing that kills it for me is the way they test an PRNG to see if it will work. It must not conform to any of the normal statistically random expectations. That's all there is .... Ofcouse, it is a cheap way for the States to lower their cost. So guess what's going to dventually happen to all of us.
