You're right about the LOTTO 6/59 game in NY. The prize pool is an anemic 40% of sales. The NY Lotto will suffer as players have a better chance of winning in BG-MM (1 in 43) compared to NY Lotto (1 in 46) with a minimum $2 prize in BG-MM.

New York has the worst lottery in the whole country. Thank goodness I live in New Jersey. New Jersey is the best lottery.

No, that was Illinois where the agent bonus was over $1 million (1% of the annuity value even if the cash option is exercised by the player.) In New York, there are currently NO bonuses for selling a winning ticket

In GA on Big game it was If you choose annuity you could change to cash.But if you choose cash you could not change to annuity. I have no idea why.Ticket prints annuity unless you check cash box on ticket.The max was for 10 draws. In New Jersey The store that sold winning ticket got over 1 Million dollars. The store here in Ga only got 25,000 But that is decided by the states them self.

Wow, hmm. I stand corrected. That's just dumb then. I mean, what if I wasn't thinking straight when I bought my ticket? Or what if I received financial advice after winning and realized it's best to change.That's just wrong.

New York State law DOES NOT allow Lotto players winning on a ticket marked 26 ANNUAL PAYMENTS to receive a lump sum. Federal regulations allow lotteries to let players choose after they win, but it's not a mandate. Several NY scratch tickets are annuity only, and, of course, the Massachusetts 6/42 and 6/49 still do not have a cash option.

I do believe you are still allowed under federal law to change your choice from cash to annuity or vice versa within 60 days of winning.I hope PlayBigGame.com gets back online for Mega Millions. I'm way too far away from any Big Game Mega Millions state to be able to play.

Of course they're the same as far as the number fields. But there probably are variations from state to state on advanced play. The Massachusetts bet slips for the CURRENT Big Game (50+36) do not have the cash/annuity boxes, so I cannot see the BG-MM slips there with those choices. Yet, the NY slips for BG-MM do have the cash/annuity boxes.

I got some bet cards this morning. NY players will have to choose cash-or-annuity when they PLAY. Unlike the existing NY on-line games, we will be able to play for more than one week in advance with one swipe.
