Another LP member (forget who) has said they talked with a PA lottery agent, and the agent said Unlucky for Life will be ending in December. I am not saying this because Unlucky for Life stinks, but because I believe them.
BTW I had been guessing Oklahoma would be the next Hot Lotto state. Now I'm saying Rhode Island.

"Better game" is a matter of personal opinion. Why you continue to care about a game that you do not play puzzles me. There are many other games out there with cash options. As of now I would take the lifetime annuity of a million over a $500,000 or less cash option any day. It would make great back up money for each year and actually be safer for some people. The million would simply last longer.
It would be nice to see a $1,000,000 cash option and a $2,000,000 annuity however. Then I would have to actually think about what I would take for awhile, although $72,000($54,000) a year is very appealing. I don't think they should get rid of the game, just modify it.

(OFF TOPIC)
I do not starve yet I care about the starving
I do not drink yet i care about the driver who has.
I do not go to church faithfully and spout the bible verses, yet I care about being a good moral person.
So I do see where CASHONLY is coming from in the opinion expressed. I don't nor do others need to agree. But its fair to say that Cashonly has always remained consistent and that deserves recognition. ive shared my view on the Lucky for Life game and I do look forward to a game that is more payable and playable. whether its this december or earlier next spring, the game is in dire need of replacement or revision. It just hasnt caught on like match6 or cash five.

Thanks Gamegrl, good to see you again. Any big wins yet? So far my biggest win was the Big-4 TWICE, for $5200. I only played one ticket each time, and my own numbers. Once in April, and once at the end of May. I am glad to finally have won it though. Seems like when I played more tickets and used systems I got nowhere. But when I played one favorite number on a whim, or hunch, that is what did it.
I also hate when I play LFL using a system for about 20 plays, and win nothing, then grab two QP's on another whim and match 4 of 6. So I am now changing my strategy to making QP whims a system. I guess all that reading about positive thinking, and the power of deliberate intent is finally creating some manifestations. This is just the beginning!

Glad to see the positive intents paying nicely! Congrats to you for such lovely payouts!
It really does seem when ya stop trying soo hard that Lady luck taps ya with some wonderful gifts!
I jumped for joy back in April when I hit a PA pick three straight! I had inadvertently forgot my play sheet and somehow blurted out a number, and it won! Rarely can I pick numbers out of the blue, then the very next day the number I predicted hit straight! ( Yet I didnt play that one cuz I was testing my system).
I gave up on LFL even on QP ...I donate my two dollars into a charity cup at the lottery counter. Best that all of my losing money goes to a kids cause then only 30% being able to go to senior programs.

LFL? It's the BEST Pick 6 game in the COUNTRY given the SMALL number field. Why moan about a game some refuse to play because it does not pay millions? The object is to WIN. I hope PA KEEPS it and adds a KENO game. Now THAT would ROCK!

What about Cash 25 in West Virginia? That has 13 less numbers.

That's Unlucky for Life. It will be gone in December. Everybody hope the new game is all cash, or has a cash option. I'd like to see an annuitized game with a cash option (eg "classic lotto") or something like Massachusetts Ca$h WinFall.

Gee, I wonder why there has not been a similarly negative 12-month campaign here against WV's Cash 25? I just can't figure it out! Can anyone enlighten me? My 4 of 6 win in tonight's LFL is my fifth in about 20 months or less. Maybe I'll nail the 6 of 6 to collect that cool monthly payment for 20 years or so...

Yeah the $2.00 price makes it expensive to do much wheeling, but that is the price for only 38 balls. I like my chances a lot better with 38 balls than 55 though, and one of 42. I hardly consider a lifetime of checks to be unlucky.

FOR anyone to $PENT $2.00 of your ca$h...........on 38 BALLS????
be "LUCKY" but play...$MART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cash 25, as you can tell by its name, is LUMP SUM. It's much harder to criticize a game that is all cash or has a cash option. The $25,000 top prize is a bit low however.

"Everybody?" More false assumptions as usual. $2 on 38 balls is far smarter than $2 on powerplay. Plus I have the stat tracking and pay offs to prove it, which far exceed my powerball paybacks. And I play powerball A LOT more.
