  PA Super-6 has been around since 1998. Three plays for $1; however, you CANNOT choose all your numbers; two of each three sets of numbers are _automatically_     quick-picked. Jackpot odds 1 in ~40 million per dollar. PA joined Powerball June 2002. New governor; new lottery chief. Just added midday drawings.

  PA is big enough that they should replace with another jackpot lotto game.  Hot Lotto is perfect for smaller states that need the higher volume in order to get decent jackpots.

  Todd: I'm _assuming_ that MUSL is not offering "Hot Lotto" to non-member states. PA _could_ try "Hot Lotto" while testing other jackpot game concepts.

  SUPER 6 must go!!  Why would anyone want to play this game and its low payouts? Pa. finally got powerball. Maybe  the new administration can get rid of the deadheads in the lottery and start bringing in new and  better games. Come on Pa. time to wake up!!!!

  Actually the payouts for Super 6 are not low as comparied to other state games.  It's just the excessive odds of 40 million to 1 to win a grand prize where all the other 6 number games are a third to half of those odds.  Now New York has really low paying prizes for it's 6/59 game.  Michigan's Winfall is by far the better game.

  TG: Super-6 is the only jackpot game with AUTOMATIC quick-picks (three games for $1; however, you can select the numbers in only one-third of your plays). The 1 in ~40 million jackpot odds make little sense with PA now selling Powerball. NY Lotto 59 has the WORST prize return of any US lottery game (40%).

  Something else to consider,  the Super 6 odds for an individual 6 # combination to hit is 119,877,472:1.  But with your selection plus 2 quick picks reduces the odds to (only) 40 million.

  Purchase 3 selections of Powerball with odds of 120 million to 1 reduces your odds to 40 million.
