  The controversial Super-6 Lotto game in Pennsylvania will be changing its draw nights starting next week to better accomodate the introduction of Powerball to the Keystone State late this month. Super-6 drawings will be held Tuesdays and Fridays starting June 11. NOTE: I still believe PA should replace this game with the new MUSL offering "Hot Lotto". Even with the staggered draw nights, Powerball will immediately cut into Super-6 sales. The Super-6 game, as I've pointed out before, DOES NOT allow players to select all their numbers.

  A number field of 69 numbers is utterly ridiculous. I think all Pennsylvanians should boycott the 6/69 game. As for me, I'll spend my money on the 6/49 game in NJ.

  Greg: I don't have a problem with a lotto game with so many balls (in retrospect, they could have kept the "Super-7" keno-like game running, which originally had 80 numbers, later 74; providing of course they eventually offered a cash option.) While Super-6 DOES have a cash option, I like to pick the numbers I hope will win, and, many others do as well. Games with multi-million dollar jackpots should allow players to choose ALL their numbers if they wish. A game with automatic quick-picks should be for lower stakes (eg NJ Lotzee, which is $2 per play as well).
