    .............actually after that catastrophic King Kong automated raffle lottery a few years ago, I'm skeptical on a computer picked anything again coming out of NYS. I ocassionally play quick picks lotto, MM and take5 and I have won NOTHING, now here's this big hype to sell for a limited time only a limited 1.5million tickets, for brace yourselves -  20 Dollars!................ Now 20 dollars is 5 MM 5 Lotto 5Take5 for a couple of days with change back. Computer picked numbers for a whopping 20 a shot is a BIT much for me when computers have been and are capable of being compromised!  With the current way the "Jackpot" scratchies turn up in only certain sections of the state - this limited time auto-mated new state lottery makes me suspicios......it just costs tooo much!!!

  Right now I'm concentrating on Powerball. Once it's hit then I'll buy at least one raffle ticket.

  If you know me, it's better to buy a raffle ticket than 20 NY Blotto tickets.

      I went down the king kong road myself, never again!!  NY lottery is such a scam.   $20 raffele, I might as well take 20 dollars and bury it  in  my back yard.   The NY  county I live in  has  never had, a 2nd place winner in mm,  or a jackpot win in NY Lotto.   Or a big scratcher win.   IN fact I'm still waiting for  my lottery coupons from a request I made 3 years ago.
