  Ca$h WinFall must win because Megais bad$ is still annuity-only.

  Sorry. Had to go to the grocery. Well it's a tie. I'm going to have to do some deliberation since these games both have pros and cons.

  This isn't easy. Megabucks lacks the all important (and ever-popular in other games) cash option. On the other hand Ca$h Winfall suffers a flaw that everyone feels wether they win or not, a whopping price of $2 for 1 line. On the positive side Megabucks is Massachusetts institution, and Ca$h Winfall offers the most astounding phenomena in lotteries today, the winfall. CW also offers a free ticket for matching 2 numbers. So I feel this needs some more time to work itself with all of you. I am extending the voting period, for this poll only, to 10:00 EDT tonight. If it's still a tie, I will decide based on the value factor, which compares the odds with the prize.

  As of now, there is only 30 minutes of voting left. I have decided what I will vote for based on the odds:prize ratio in the case it's still a tie at 10 o'clock eastern.

  O.K. We got the winning vote for Cash Winfall. Good thing I waited an extra hour.

  jimmy:

  Ca$h WinFall returns 60%, Megais bad$ 50%. I believe you would have gone for CW anyway.
