Lotto South Ending?Reply
KY needs to stay in LS. Regardless, a win for life online game similar to those in OR and PA would be a terrible idea, especially if there's no cash option.As for LS itself, I believe the game is fading because the jackpot odds are NOT high enough for the tri-state population (Lotto Virginia's 6/49 became Lotto South without changing the matrix).

Minnesota ruins Gopher 5 game again.
First they change to computerized drawings.Now they are changing the matrix from 5/42 with a bonus number to a 5/47 game with no bonus number.http://www.lottery.state.mn.us/numbers.html#G5 Looks like I'm going to be saving $10 a week now. No more Gopher 5 for me.

Matrix v population
What I mean is this: Can you think of a jackpot game (in-state or multi-state, pick-6 or 5+1 format), whose matrix is either too large or too small for its population base?The best example I can think of, for a game too small, is Lotto South. It's a 6/49 game that IMO should be perhaps a 6/53, given the total populations of Georgia, Kentucky, and Virginia. VA had a 6/49 that became LS, without changing the matrix.

Lotto South- Potential New Draw DaysReply
Substituting a bonus ball for the 6th ball would improve the game. The odds for the 3-. 4-. and 5-ball matches would increase and they could increase the corresponding prizes to make the game more attractive, all done without changing the matrix. It might actually result in a bigger jackpot prize as well, depending on sales.

Powerball lottery to implement changesReply
They're only changing the game because so many tickets were hitting early in the year. From January through February, they had four winners, averaging ~$19.2 million. Since March, the same number of tickets won, but averaging ~$66 million.If PB would have just waited, they wouldn't have to have changed the odds on the game.But I do like the increases in payouts.

Too many players winning Powerball, lottery saysReply
Well changing hot lotto to a 6/49 format would fix that.Powerball has been adding states but doing nothing to address that. They also need to change the current lame rules regarding record jackpots. If they want to keep their current game it would only tick off the current member states as they look at the falling sales. I just wonder if they have had any meetings with the current states about the status of the game and any possible changes.

New JerseyReply
Todd:Pick-6 Lotto is a MUCH BETTER game than NY Lotto 6/59 simply because the payback % is 10 points higher. I wouldn't mind NJ changing it to be exactly like the NY game except for the prize return.

Do you play other states Lottery?Reply
i don't think WA made a bad choice with mega millions, but even though the players wanted a lotto game that was easier to win, changing the lotto back was a bad idea. they need to either make quinto 7 days a week, or replace it with something else. they also need a pick 4 game.

>>>Oh I forgot to mention that the reason they won't share there secret methods is due to Lottery Officials getting a hold of this and purposely changing the game like what happened to Johnny5 he was making $1,000/wk in the FL Mega-Money and mistakenly shared his method with someone online who turned out to be a FL Lottery Official.Soon after that the game was changed and his method no longer worked.<<<<<Did he happen to share it with anyone else?
