Spending $2 to get 1 free will be great.
I agree, but I dont think they'll offer a promo on it that soon. It seems that sales of C4L have been pretty good. My guess is that's because it's new. After it settles down a bit they'll probably offer a promo.

$2 Ticket will keep you in the game for a while, if you hit the small prizes sporadically. I have a feeling that most players will be spending $10 to cover the 4 bonus balls plus a quick Pick. That is 5 games for $10 bucks.

I feel a headache coming on trying to figure out what numbers i want to play. Sixty is a lot but not impossible.
Buy a $10 partial quick pick ticket. Play all 4 bonus balls and mark 1 game with quick pick on the playing slip. I covered everything for Monday drawing by playing that way. I am aiming to win above $10 on Monday.

Well this new game looks like Take 5 on steroids...lol Only two pay levels I like that are realistic is 3 of 5 just like Take 5 about $24 and the 4 plus Cash ball for $2,500 I just might like this game a little bit more than Take 5 ........but need some stats to track in my Advantage + software around 6 months worth. Good luck all!

It looks like the drawing version of an INSTANT SCRATCH OFF GAME.

I purchased a bunch of tickets today for the new Cash 4LIFE, but is this game really worth more than a 1 ticket purchase? $2 and you do not even win a half million? What do you possibly net from that? About $210,000? I took all quick picks so that I don't get tied to any fave set of numbers then feel compelled to keep playing them in case they come up. With just QPs I feel I can take it or leave it. I have no dog in the race.

Tonite, I had to go back down to that Stewart's Shop I was in this morning when I bought my C4L ticket.
I'm standing in line to pay for my stuff and I see the guy who is paying for his stuff hand the clerk a C4L playslip. The clerk says to him: "I was gonna tell you there's a new game, but I see you beat me to it."
The guy says "Yeah. I figured I'd try my luck on that because it's new."
The clerk says; "That's what everybody is saying and doing."
Everybody???
Maybe because C4L is new they're all buying it, but WTH is goin' on?? 21 million to one odds to win $365,000 a year and it costs 2 bucks a line. SM had 3.8 million to one odds to win one million and cost 1 dollar per line and the people wouldn't play it!! People are nuts.
How long will it take until C4L sales run out of gas? Or will they? You got me, cuz I dunno.
You are absolutely correct people are nuts.
Also I would imagine that clerk was a liar.
That's what happens with sales people.
They will say anything to make a sale.
NYL had this nice little "reminders" printed saying "Dont forget to ask the customer, do you want to try this new <snip>ty game?"
I asked one clerk how the sales are doing. He said good, and then he tried to hard sell me. I tried to explain the odds to him but he was very adamant. Finally,
I told him I was poor, and the $2 a ticket was for rich people. I was kind of annoyed he did that. He should know that I am not a novice, and that I am apt to knock over those cheesy poofs.
I asked another clerk and he said the sales were slow. He even went so far to say that they "might bring SM back".
I thought to myself, "boy I shouldn't have made a bonfire with my SM charts"
Beginners luck is a real thing. But to have all of New York State, ride that wave of thinking to provide supplemental education money that is not needed is to ask for the wave to crash and break on the heads of the players, and all the players will drown in the undertow, and this game will be dead.
I am sorry G5. I have to adhere to my principles, and I WILL NOT BE buying a ticket for this game.
I may drop a stat or two, when I see something, but it will be strictly A+ as this game is not getting a spreadsheet.
