I suggest My State Lottery do THREE Pick Game drawings a day. :) Morning, Afternoon, Night. Many People aren't supposed to have their phones while they work and MANY People go to Lunch Breaks BEFORE the Midday Drawings are held. For example, I start at 9 and am supposed to go to break at 1 PM. My break is 30 minutes. So 1:00-1:30. The draw STARTS when my Break is OVER and the Results get posted around 2 PM when I'm working and am not supposed to have my phone on me. So I have to wait until after 5:30 to see the Lottery Results unless I sneak my phone on me to check. Although I do often ask if I could start my break at 2:00, ;) A Morning Draw that starts at say 7 in the morning will have a drawing ready by 1:00. :) Afternoon should be 6 for People who want to play after work, and there should be say a night drawing for People who want to play before bed. :)

"What's your ADDRESS?" May be the CREEPIEST question EVER asked to a Lottery Winner! O.O WTF?

At first, I found the one digit away draws kind of amusing, but now I am PISSED! 15 or 16 times I was off by just one digit in recent times!🤬 No longer find this amusing, it's making me REALLY angry now!🤬

The then Union Plaza (now Plaza casino) in Las Vegas introduced Red Game /Green Game to their Keno games in the mid 1980s. For another dollar players got another set of numbers.

Why not do this for a lottery game?

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

Be the "bookie". Sell the tickets, or the bets.

I don't mean in a store. I mean run a numbers game outside of a state lottery. Which is highly illegal.

States make craploads of money running their lotteries. State lotteries ARE the bookies.

Some say that taxes are illegal. - You had illegal games in the USA. Also with the pokerwebsites things went wrong. They took out cash of the deposits to party a bit. - I don't know for how much your lotteries are owned and run by the states. I thought that your dollar is printed by a private company? ...

And, yes, you could do something. Maybe you want to own a casino or a gaming hall with computergames only. I don't know their financial plans.

Several people have replied to that but let me add basically let the players pick their own losers.

That's what the 'house' and the bookies are doing.

I also realized that when we buy a QP, most of the time we let "the bookie" pick our losers.

rcbbuckeye,

A lot craps players think betting the Don't Pass means that they are betting 'with the house', against the shooter.

One night a player on the Don't stated that he was betting 'with the house' and a pit boss said, "No, you're not, the house is booking your action too."

It seems I was kind of ahead of my time with the 'Three drawings," idea since Powerball will have three drawings starting August. ;)

It is a great idea, but I think you might be discriminating against "evening" people.

I'd like to see the pick-3 and pick-4 games include all possible bets. Payoffs would be based off the $500 to $1 and $5000 to $1 exact payoffs similar to the box and pair payoffs. Add exact pairs and trips and any position to the pick-4. One, two or three digits in any position. Some states offer sum bets in both games, why not add a simple minimum $1 bet on a sum?

Thought the "one off" bet was a fun option especially getting 81 chances to win something on the pick-4. Never did the payoff calculations for being "one off" in any position, but another possible interesting bet.
