The last 3 $10 lottery tickets (Classic Cash, Big Cash and Payout) all have had the top prizes raised from $200,000 to $250,000. I wonder if this is going to be a permanent thing going forward (as $250,000 top prizes were a sporadic thing) and if so, does that mean the odds have decreased for winning a prize overall.

Guess time will tell.

still like the sc payouts better - the newest 10 for example has a payback percentage higher than EVERY SINGLE TICKET currently out in New York (not exaggerating)

but odds went from 1:3 to 1:3.1, consider yourself lucky, NY's $20s are about 1:3.5 and $25 is 1:3.8 (the NY $10s are about 1:3.7

Lol, I thought most winners come from the Midlands. Guess it's the perspective of where you are. I noticed couple of months ago, the artwork on tickets started looking alot like NC. Also noticed on $10 tix, the run went from 3M tix to 3.6M. Also, when a new ticket used to come out, it would have a rediculous # of winners in a certain prize. Ex., the Lucky Loot couple years ago had like 15k $1000 winners. Odds of winning on $10 used to always be less than 1in 3. Now it slowly creaping up, 1-3.12,... [ More ]

Eh, winning is hit or miss in South Carolina, at least that's been my experience. There's been times where I hit something decent (I've already hit $500, $200 and a few $100 wins on scratchers this year) and times where the cards were just complete let downs. I don't think South Carolina tickets have better odds than Georgia, however. It was South Carolina odds that made me go to Georgia to start buying tickets in the first place. I was putting all this money in and never hit anything over $500... [ More ]

Just wondering if anybody else in SC has noticed that apparently SC has a new company printing their tickets and the odds are getting worse for the players! As a $10 ticket player, I liked the fact that our state's lottery had better odds than NC and GA. Well I guess they figured they could make more $$$ by printing more tickets in a series without increasing the number of winning tickets. I hope all the players notice this and cut down on what they play. I hope the state notices and realizes by... [ More ]
