Georgia Lottery to add extra Cash 3, Cash 4 drawings

Georgia Lottery daily numbers games players will get extra opportunities to play every day starting Sunday.

Beginning on Feb. 12, the Georgia Lottery is adding an additional Cash 3 drawing late at night, and an extra Cash 4 drawing in the early evening.  The new drawings mean that a total of three Cash 3 and Cash 4 drawings will be held every day, at the same times.

The current drawing schedule is a bit odd, with Cash 3 and Cash 4 both holding a midday drawing at 12:29 p.m., but then different times for their evening drawings, with the Cash 3 evening drawing held at 6:59 p.m. and Cash 4 at 11:34 p.m.

The new schedule adds a Cash 3 drawing at 11:34 p.m. and a Cash 4 drawing at 6:59 p.m., so that each of the three draw times will feature drawings for both games.

It has been 16 years since a drawing has been added to either game. On Feb. 5, 2001, the Georgia Lottery added midday drawings to the Cash 4 game.

Aside from the new drawings, the other aspects of the games remain unchanged.

So they will have three drawings for cash 3 and cash 4. Midday, evening and late night. Is this a good thing? I didn't like when florida added midday drawings in 2008. Hope they don't add late night like Georgia. However, I do like the new cash4life game they're including stating feb 17.

Not excited about it at all.  If Georgia didn't cheat so much it might be one thing, but the things we see going on I don't know who would be happy about this.  Another money grab from Georgia Lottery.

"Totally Greedy!" Uncalled for and not necessary either. Why have so many draws the same game multiple times throughout the day?

Ohio will probably follow this, as Georgia and Ohio are biggest lottery players states?

But you never know. I hope not for my sake. I just like the evening draws myself.

Just don't play your numbers in every drawing Johnnyj1.  TN. has 3 drawings (morning, midday, and evening) I only play the evening now since they started this.   Now if my numbers come in the morning or midday I just say they wasn't my numbers lol.  It just another way for the lottery to get more money.  But they wont get all mind lmbo.

What are your thoughts on the added drawings per day?  Do you think it will be easier to hit a number now or not?  I, for one, am having a hard time with picking from the two draws, I don't see how adding another drawing will help my odds.  I also heard that the payouts will be less.

The greed of the lottery officials know no bounds. Not a good idea for the poor.

What other State has 3 Drawings Per Day? Tennessee!

Texas started this a few years ago when they introduced All or Nothing with 4 draws a day. Then they went to 4 draws a day with Pick 3 and Daily 4. It's simply a way to bring in more money. They want people to think if they play 4 times a day, they'll win more money. Yes, you have a "chance" to win more often, but the reality is you will lose more often.

Look, this ties in with the other article about millennials not playing lotteries and state lotteries are concerned. This is a way to increase revenue, along with introducing new games that are $2 a ticket. These new games are tricky. All or Nothing gives you 2 ways to win, so it looks great, until you play it. Then it becomes another lottery game that is not what it seems. Texas Triple Chance is a $2 game that gives you 3 chances to win!!! Looks like an easy win, until you play for a month.

Don't fall into the trap of playing every draw. Play within your means.
