Does anyone have information on the new tickets coming out this month? I think there is a new $10 ticket called X50, that is like the emrald 10's game and i think there is a new $5.00 game as well.

All gambling is a waste of cash. Fantasy 5 and Supper Lotto are just as much of a waste. It's disposable income. I spent 4 hours on Saturday at the Palazzo playing $100 Baccarat and just like scratchers, it was fun and the money is just waste money anyway. Whether it's a person losing $20 or $1,000 it is entertainment.
That's how you play these games. It's money you expect to lose. Buying a glass of Cakebread Chardonnay at Pelican Hill is $25 but it's worth it because it's fun. Why would someone drop $200 on a seafood dinner for 2 at Mastro's Ocean Club when they can buy the same fish at Santa Monica Seafood and cook it at home for 1/4 of the price? It's the experience. Is that anymore of a waste of hard earned cash? Depends on who you ask but they all serve the same purpose which is a dopamine release from the pleasure center.

$10 50X the Cash, $5 20X the Cash and $2 10X the Cash--all are number match games with a bonus spot ($100, $50 and $20, respectfully) and top prizes of $1,000,000, $200,000 and $20,000, respectfully. Comes out on the 25th.

The Retail Product Plan for April has not been posted on the website so we do not know the odds, DGinElMonte has posted a picture shot for us in the past for an upcoming game.
10X $2 has been around for a long time
20X $5 has been around for a few years
The 50X $10 is new this time around. I suppose people will eventually want to see 100X for $20 games like they have in Florida (except its $25 denomination).
I will also compare the returns of the 2014 game Emerald 7's with this 2015 50X the Cash game. With the lack of a top prize drawing, I want to see if they took some of that allocation and apply it to the original game.

I'll deff play the 50x game for a bit. I ussualy play the new games rather hard until the first TP is claimed. I've been staying away from the $5 and under games. The ROI is horrible it seems.

The $10 50x the cash has the same payout as CA Black, meaning the return of 1 in 1.2 million odds of the top prize. No additional benefit from the loss of the top prize drawing though, best to hold off until the other $10 games from 2014 are over.

I concur. Not because of the second chance situation, but because the games are so "meh." I'd usually go out and buy two of each ticket the day they're released; I definitely won't be spending that $34 today, tomorrow or even next week.

I do not think we will have entertaining scratchers for next month either it is a new $1, $2, $3, and $5 one.
The $5 game has a another shot of winning on the "back of the scratcher", how interesting can that be? Like as if the Fast Spots were not good enough ...
