  As some of you may have read in previous posts, lotteries are getting greedy with their online ticket prices by starting games that cost $2/ticket. WE NEED TO WORK TOWARDS PUTTING THAT TO A STOP. Lotteries are taking advantage of the fact that we are willing to give them any amount of money for a chance at becoming a millionaire. What kind of fools do they take us for?

  I've redone my website.  Go to www.dr-ew.com.  I kept a lot of the old stuff, and I've added some new stuff.  Look for more new stuff in the coming weeks.

  What make you think that lotteries commissions care about what people who don't buy $2 tickets think about $2 tickets?  If someone wasn't buying them, they wouldn't sell them.  And people who do buy $2 lottery tickets don't care what other think either.

  at my old work, there were a lot of customers who did not play match 6 because of the price, and a lot of customers who are used to tickets costing 50 cents and $1.

  The three $2 online games that need to be stopped all have lifetime prizes (OR, PA, WA).

  i'm also focused on getting PA to reduce the price of match 6. $2 a ticket, and the jackpot only starts at $500,000? that's a huge ripoff! as is lucky for life, which only offers a $3000/week for life top prize with a $2 ticket price in which you only get ONE set of numbers.

  If I don't like a casino, I don't play there. If I don't like a horse track, I don't bet there. If I don't like an OTB, I don't bet there. Whether it's because of RNGs, lifetime payouts, ticket price or whatever... if I find something objectionable about a lottery game, I simply don't play it. The way you spend your wagering buck is the most powerful voice you have.

  Good luck,

  aye'

  It looks the $2 MA Cash Winfall isn't doing very well, since they now have a desperation drawing for a car to try to get suckers to buy a ticket. I'm not buying, looks like a lot of other people have said no to it also.

  Even if they made every ticket $2 (which to me it looks like that's what the greedheads are trying for) I would just stop buying them and say it was fun while it lasted, but they are aiming their wares at a different audience than me. I compare it to Ticketmaster - I used to go to a lot of concerts, but when they started gouging $75-100 or more for a ticket, I stopped going.
