Texas Lottery May Eliminate Lotto Bonus NumberReply
I agree with you Lantern, a 6/50 game will be great, but just don't expect huge jackpots.Again, I agree with you, in the Texas already has huge jackpots with Mega Millions. A classic Lotto game does not have to be one with Texas-sized jackpots.

Texas lottery panel will consider dismissing directorReply
Lantern:Not a bad idea! New Mexico has something similar, but I like your idea better.

Good thing to look into if there were any way to get comments on the game.Orangeman

N.C. Lottery to roll out 3 new games in OctoberReply
Don't move to NC yet Lantern, it could be the payout for .50 cents combo which normally pays $250 and if it is, that would make it a low payout. SC pays $250 for a .50 combo

Texas Lottery May Eliminate Lotto Bonus NumberReply
I agree with Lantern.Pick 6/50 was popular. There were lots of winners. Many pools and clubs existed. Players were happy.You are right, Todd. There wasn't and wouldn't be many huge jackpots.I think most players were satisfied with smaller jackpots, and will be again, should TLC decide to go back to a pick 6 game. I certainly could live happily ever after with $4 million.It's a shame that Gary Grief and Kim Kiplin are still in control. They want more for the state and less for the players. Be int
