Ohio probably will be overhauling its lotto game soon.

Maybe US lotteries are trying to avoid announcing important changes during wartime.

Lottoscorp: PA _already_ has a Cash 5. The right type of replacement game would be Hot Lotto or a six-number jackpot game with odds in the 10 million- 15 million:1 range.

Ok Greg,Here it is.The BGMM and Powerball are in manyStates with large populations.Super6 is designedto suck money and that's it.I would recomend aPick5/30 for Pa as a replacement lottery with a$250,000.00 for 5 numbers,$5,000.00 for 4 numbersand $10.00 for 3 numbers...That State,Pa have thepopulation to accomodate that.lottoscorp

I e-mailed PA last week and they still haven't decided. Just as we need to keep voting for the Diamond, we need to keep the pressure on the PA Lottery to dump Super-6.

There are WORSE games than Super-6...but this one seems to be the #1 target right now.

Greg,You have to keep in mind that when PA started Super 6 as a 6/69 they were still on their own and created the game in that manner, hoping no one would hit, the jackpots would build fast and they would be in Powerball/Mega Millions territory.You are right though, the lower level prizes for it do stink and I'd love to see the game replaced.

Greg: DE 6/38 is an ALL-CASH game (no annuity.) DE would make a good Hot Lotto state.

My beef with the PA 6/69 game is this:a- Delaware has a 6/38 game!b- New Jersey has a 6/49 game!Obviously, the odds of the above two games are much better than those of the 6/69. 69 numbers is TOO MUCH of a number field. I play the NJ/49 game since I live on the PA/NJ border and my cousin who lives in Delaware plays the 6/38 for us.c- The lower level prizes are a joke.

Who in their wrong mind would set up a lottery to function in that manner?...Now that is a clear case of lotto-monoply! lottoscorp

Lottoscorp: When you play Mega Millions or Powerball, you can choose all your numbers. One major complaint about PA Super-6 is that while you get three plays per dollar, two of them are AUTOMATIC quick-picks (you can select only one set of numbers per dollar). People who like to wheel numbers (eg Gail Howard) aren't able to in Super-6.
