you are wrong to a certain extent....play less $ or less frequently is better...Even with the game nearly doubling the previous odds..it is still the best jackpot game in PA...it has 5 times better odds than match 6, it is better than PB match 5...and the jackpots will roll more often than in the past...pick 3 and 4 are not jackpot games so i will dismiss them as alternatives (they are not greener pastures)...the majority of people play it to hit it big...(by the way ever since the new format there have been 4 jackpot winners in a row...)
The second price % distribution of winnings is not right (odds 1:5066)...
Bottom line ...The gaming officials know the players ...they conduct studies that show the demographics., what backgrounds..how smart....how people react ..When they made the decision to go to 43 it was done because it is good for business...There are no better games odds wise with a similar payout rolling daily....Here is how it works...
1.Advertise BIGGER JACKPOTS...(<<yeah right)..(while keeping relatively quiet the drastic change in odds and % distribution in other categories)
2.Throw in a free QP ticket when you buy 5...(LURE THEM IN BAIT)
3. LUCK on their SIDE..when you have 4 in a row winners (along with no 40s balls yet drawn to show change..hmmm) with the new game it is bound to make people beleive it is easy to win
---The change WORKED Brilliantly...IT ALWAYS WORKS..of course...LOL
They will still play....STAY TUNED for more STENCH in the days to come....LOL
