Hi Starbolt89, in terms of games $10 and up I've pretty much been playing the $10 Madness and $30 FRM (and some $20 LFL).
With other larger denomination games which one is best is a very difficult question to answer at the moment with the Lottery offices closed for quite some time now, as there's solid evidence that the closure has created a backlog of claimer redemption with people not trusting the mail in claimer process (no surprise there!). The backlog is I believe also very likely skewing remaining top prize info as well, since it's well established that top prizes are generally distributed throughout a game's run just like other prize levels - so remaining top prize levels as listed on the Lottery site are likely inaccurate.
I favor the $10 Madness since there's no claimer level prize, and the $30 FRM has so many $1M top prizes that I'm confident that there's one or more always in circulation at any given moment. The $20 LFL has under-claimed $50K/yr prize level (but yes those could have been swept up in one of that game's previous "game ending" escapades by the Fl Lotto...I still play it though).
The below illustrates the problem, comparing "Prizes Remaining" info as listed on the Lotto website...$10 Madness is even at all levels with about 86% remaining, but the $30 FRM has now a nearly 10 percentage difference between claimer and non-claimer prize levels, suggesting that in that one game alone there's well north of FOUR THOUSAND claimers that are being held by folks state-wide waiting for the Lotto offices to open. We've yet to hear anything from the Lottery with regards to their plans for reopening - I've said before and will say again, it needs to be orderly and secure, including a capable security detail protecting folks who will no doubt queue up outside the offices ...otherwise mayhem will reign. I truly believe the backlog among all games is potentially news-worthy material (like we focus on scratch tickets here but think of all the claimer draw tickets as well!)
Either way best of luck to everyone!!!
