I believe Michigan should dump the Poker Lotto game and then change the Daily Keno (80/22) to a Jackpot game.

They could make the Keno game $2 and probably take in more money than both the current Daily Keno and Poker Lotto combined.

The first dollar could go to the lower prize structure and the second dollar could all go to the Jackpot (less the lotteries take).

What game(s) would you like to see booted from your state?

We have a game called joker+. It is a kind of pick 6, pick 3 type, with a zodiac sign. You cannot pick the digits but you can pick the zodiac sign. I never play it.

I also wouldn't play the lucky code that is coming with a line of lotto. I cannot refuse it, it is in the price of the combination, 1.25 EUR.

I don't play Euromillions. The price is €2.50 for one line and the payout for 4/5 + 0/2 is a joke! €37.60/2.5=15.04 for €1 (5/50).

We also have this game called Viking Lotto. €10 / 1 combination. The explanation of the game is not clear but the price is clear.

NC had All or Nothing game.

Low sales they dropped the game!

It was a sucker punch for sure!

I think that a line 12 of 24 All Or Nothing Texas costs $2. That could have been $1.

The game was earlier in Ireland.

All or Nothing is still in Texas. $2 a ticket. If you get 0 numbers right you win $250,000, or if you get all 12 of 24 numbers right you win $250,000.

I played this game a lot a few years ago, and the best thing compared to any other jackpot game is the overall odds of 1 in 4.5. I won back more money on that game than any other game. I would often play the same numbers twice or more (or the opposite numbers) to win double the prize.

I quit it because there are 4 draws a day, and you can't pick the draw you want in advance unless you play the preceding draws. For ex. if I wanted to play the night draw only, I would have to wait until after the evening draw to buy the ticket. It's more convenient for me to buy my tix in the morning. I wasn't interested in playing all 4 draws at $2 per draw.

I would just as soon they drop it if they won't make it more convenient to play.

5 Card Cash is already gone, thank goodness! It was replaced with the All or Nothing game.

I've seen 5 Card Cash in other states and they had play slips, in our state there were none.

Playing a game with no play slips I didn't like it, it was quick pick or nothing, so I never played it.

Was not sure if All or Nothing was going to make it but I think it's here to stay.

$2 per ticket top prize $100,000 11 of 22 numbers.

I would pick CA hot spot. Been playing lotto for 7 years. I have never seen anybody buy a ticket for that game. Same for Daily Derby

They've ruined NC Cash 5, IMO. Double Play makes it impossible to separate the two games, as the results are combined in the statistics here. It's dead to me now.

Cash 5:

So Double Play numbers are separate from the regular numbers drawn?

$2 Double Play match all five $50,000

$1 Regular Cash 4 match all five, you win rolling jackpot currently $132,000

If it has to be just one game, then my vote is for all 4 of the RNG games( Cash 3/Cash 4/Keno/Tn Quick Cash. Originally I was going with the entire Board of Directors,especially Cruella De Vil herself.

It also is very strange that there are no pick 12 or pick 11 wheel-templates. I'd say that some or most just bought templates and didn't make them. I can make such wheels and I don't have this "world record minimal size wheel" in my mouth.

I think that they could have gone with one drawing per day.

A problem with online forms is that they do not accept a list of combinations pasted or from a file, if online play is available. Honesty is not guaranteed anyway, even if they guarantee it.

Kansas should discontinue the Pick 3 lottery game!

The number pattern changes drastically too often.

The State of Kansas lost several legal battles & now has competition in the casino scene. Once the State of Kansas has had competition in their revenue streams, the Pick 3 has been beyond just your randomness of luck.
