I will say - besides it being a more expensive ticket for a smaller jackpot prize - it is a fun game.
With the Badger 5 being the best ticket odds at 1:169,xxx, All or Nothing is 2nd.
If they did Badger 5 at 2 draws a day those jackpots would grow really fast - I was surprised to see no one won last night - now its $143,000.
I don't understand why they aren't doing Badger 5 for the daily draws as it's clearly very popular. Someone wins it every couple days. But maybe the lottery doesn't want to pay out that often if they double the draws? It's parimutual and grows quickly. What other reason could there be?
As for AorN, I would play it if it wasn't $2 a draw. I don't mind the game structure, and it can be fun, but the jackpot needs to be higher and/or parimutual to get my money on a regular basis at that ticket price.
Of course I don't begrudge anyone playing this game (or any game) and I wish them nothing but the best of luck. It's great when people beat the odds and win.

I mean even if Badger 5 was 2 times a day, and a decent jackpot was won 2/3 times a week - I would think the state wouldn't be losing out on it - it only grows in relation to ticket sales.
You would think if there are more bigger jackpots that mean lots of tickets sold = profit.
But what do I know - I am just a boy from Wisconsin.
I like the Badger 5 but have not had the best luck with it - I have found I am very likely to win my $1 back, but that is about it. If it was a x2 a day game with those building jackpots it would be a very fun pass time.

I think they need to have online for Wisconsin
To me the sales would be up.
Who wants to go out everyday with this virus going on.
Duh lottery ought to wake up !!
If they want to have 2 draws a day
On-line lottery? Yea, what better way for the IRS to hit you. Sure the States don't tax you under a certain amount per ticket when cashed-in at local stores but just wait until they have your total yearly computer transactions on file. Can you say.... Pay me?

I always wondered about that too -
If you have a state that has online sales, lets say for example you won $10 a month playing - and since they know everything that goes in or out of that account...
...end of year do they send you a tax form with $120 already pre-filled out? lol
