  I still think Pennsylvania should replace their dying Super-6 Lotto with "Hot Lotto" (though it appears they're going to come out with a PA-only game instead.) But it's great that they now have Powerball !

  CASH Only,
  Why do you feel Super 6 Lotto in PA is dying? Maybe you are privy to sales numbers that I am not, but it still seems pretty steady to me. I imagine now that Powerball is here that people will tend to shift their lottery money to Powerball.
  
  As far as Hot Lotto goes, if they replaced Super 6 with it I would not play it. Yes I know it has better odds than Super 6 or Powerball, but to me, it is just a Powerball clone. The MUSL could have cooked up something more exciting. Also Hot Lotto is played in 6 states and yet it only increases $100,000 per rollover. At least Super 6 still increases by $1 Million ever time it is not won.

  SMD: I had been e-mailing PA suggesting they replace   Super-6 with "Hot Lotto". Although it is very unlikely "Hot Lotto" will come to the Keystone State, they told me they ARE surveying players about a game to replace Super-6. The jackpot progression in the nearly four-year history of Super-6 has always been $3 million initially with $1 million rollovers until hit or sales catch up to the guaranteed pots. As for "Hot Lotto", the game was created because this is the 10th anniversary of Powerball. Washington DC is expected to join "Hot Lotto" by autumn.
