Speaking of driving for tickets, I wonder what happened to the sales in Delaware when Pennsylvannia signed on to Powerball? I'm betting that South Carolina would hate it if North Carolina started a lottery.
Good question. It didn't take long for the Philly Daily news to run the story quoting the Delaware officials complaining. Delaware never did make enough on tickets when Md. and Pa. started in the 70's; their scratch games pay little for long odds. (Although they've been good to me. But the BEST? the Video Lottery. (Slots) OH YEAH! That's why we in South Central PA go. And to W.Va.oln occasion.
Similair story in Pittsburgh Papers, that W.Va. took a hit on Power BAll. But they have Video and Video Bar Keno.
Agree, been to ACNJ machines are tight. Delaware and W. VA. (state run-low profit) are much better. We'll see in Pa. are to be privatized (not ran by Lottery) so as to benefit others rather than seniors.
Go grammy, go!
