  Charge more for QPs?

  What's next, selling the playslips?

  Renting the pencils?

  The terminal isn't 'doing any extra work' with a QP.

  Here's a better idea, charge players who tell clerks thir numbers instead of filling out a slip.

  I think QPs are about 4 times LESS effective than self picks.

  From now on I'm going to challenge 4 QPs to do BETTER than my self pick birthday numbers. 

  I will not play multiple draws, and I will post the numbers.

  I think they are considering a tax on each square of toilet paper used. (The first square is tax free)

  I reviewed your posts, nothing offensive, buy you were for charging for QP, definitely in the minority.

  That could happen I guess but I'd much rather pay 5 or 6 cents tax on a ticket up front than $350,000 on a $1 Million prize at the other end.

  Yeah, I agree the aussie method is better, and so much simpler,

  but can we trust our lawmakers to not tinker w/ things ?

  after all look at our tax code, 300,000 pages of which no single person understands the whole thing .

   

  and look at my own greedy state, passing a state lottery tax and making it retroactive, unmitigated greed !
