  But it's not without flaws. The most glaring is the $2 price. Also, the $500,000 minimum jackpot is probably turning away players. The casual player doesn't notice the fact that it's cash, or that the odds of winning are only 1 in 4,000,000. What I would suggest is up the matrix to 6/59, lower the price to $1, and make the minimum jackpot $1,000,000 cash. The odds would be upped enough that changing the other amounts wouldn't be neccesary.

  I would recommend that the PA Lottery scrap the game completely, and replace it with a standard 6/49 or 6/52 game.  Pennsylvania residents are deprived of a standard big-jackpot lotto game.

  the $2 ticket price, although a bother, is necessary for PA to fund large jackpots. it's almost as if they are anticipating crappy sales.

  I've redone my website.  Go to www.dr-ew.com.  I kept a lot of the old stuff, and I've added some new stuff.  Look for more new stuff in the coming weeks.

  Todd:

  I agree with you, but it's Unlucky for Life that should be replaced. A new PA game should be a longer-odds Hot Lotto.

  It's probably the $2 price that's causing crappy sales.

  but it's almost as if the loteries are anticipating crappy sales. think about it. PA Match 6: Jackpot only starts at $500,000. PA Lucky For Life Lotto: Top prize is $3,000 a month for life. MA Ca$h Winfall: Jackpot starts at $500,000, and is capped at $2 million. Any questions?
