Lucky Lines was AWFUL. It was a Bingo type of draw game that paid out like The Lottery. I only won like $10 on it at THE MOST. Lucky Lines was so awful it was pulled after only three years. You know a draw game is awful when it only "lives," for three years. . Florida Lotto has been here for about 32 years as a huge contrast to the thankfully short lived Lucky Lucky Lines.

Price Is Right Lottery scratch off game was AWFUL. It SEEMED like it should be a WONDERFUL game(It was actually like 3 or 4 fun gamess on just ONE ticket) but I never really WON anything on it. It was a hefty ticket to. $5 a ticket. Not the really cheap tickets.

They had a "5 Card Cash" draw game here for a couple years that no one seemed to play. It was a weird, confusing gimmick where you got a poker hand and could win something immediately and again later in the day when the "cards" were drawn. Frankly the game was dumber than a box of crayons. It's not surprising it failed miserably, it's only surprising that the lottery kept it going as long as they did.

Hmm. Maryland still had 5 Card Cash game to this very day.

"What's your ADDRESS?" May be the CREEPIEST question EVER asked to a Lottery Winner! O.O WTF?

At first, I found the one digit away draws kind of amusing, but now I am PISSED! 15 or 16 times I was off by just one digit in recent times!🤬 No longer find this amusing, it's making me REALLY angry now!🤬

Lucky For Life has been the worst game ever. Cash 4 Life is much better.

I was just about to post that myself

they have that game in the state right next to mine - use to play it - until I really looked into the odds/cash payout.

all that and its a $2 game.

not great.

And that game does not hit often either - I use to follow it a lot.

Also the 5 card cash was horrible in WI per SaraAnnRapp - can confirm.

All or Nothing

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

What is the "All or Nothing" game like in your state?

Here it's 11/22 with $100K jackpot for $2 a ticket. It's now a twice daily game. There doesn't seem to be any uptick in wins since they added the extra daily draw.

To each his own I guess. I've actually had more winners (albeit nothing big) playing Lucky for Life than any other game. I used to like Hot Lotto for the same reason until all the shenanigans occurred but it's replacement Lotto America is a dog, imho.

Will vouch for '5 card cash' only game they suspended the drawings here due to "covid" but in reality it's a terrible game that nobody was really playing from the get go.

Another game is 'Cash Pop'

On Paper, 5 Card Cash Game seems like a really good and fun game....

Hands down the Lotto game in NY. The absolute worst. Only won $1 ever on it.

Sometimes you do the right thing just because it’s right.

Life's a game of mathematics, if you can't figure that out I don't know what to tell you.

I played this game before, thought it gave the best 'bang for the buck' since you get 2 games for $1. No another game was that cheap. Since I thought of it as cheap it was always more 'fun' to play and could play 2 of my lines for only a $1. I hit 4 of 6 once or twice!

That seems a lot like Jackpot Triple Play. :) For $1, you get THREE lines. For $2, you can mix and match the numbers. :)

Maryland has several instant win games in denominations from $1 to $10. Ask for it, pull out of the lottery machines and realize you have just given away more money to a compute generated game. They are like scratch off games without having to scratch them. Another game of chance where the Maryland State Lottery has the upper hand.

Feeling, PRICELESS!!!

Come on Jackpot!!!
