We need to continue boycotting Unlucky for Life until a cash option is offered.

I would bring back Super 7 too if PA still doesn't want Hot Lotto.

DoctorEw220 — Mon, 07 Mar 2005 07:17:13 GMT

i would instead bring back super 7 (with a cash option). the fact that you could mss some numbers and still win the jackpot is appealing. i think that,and the nice jackpot size would make the game especially appealing today. the only things i would do differently would be to make it match 7 of 11 of 80, and hold drawings on mondays and thursdays. PA really was not thinking when they decided to hold lucky for life lotto drawings on wednesdays and saturdays. did they really think players would buy... [ More ]

Whatever Mega Millions becomes when California joins, it will still have a lump-sum option, unlike Unlucky for Life.

If a big state like PA joined hot lotto wouldn't the jackpot stay low because someone's always winning? I'm not sure what hot lotto's odds are but it's not big states.

Everyone's against annual payments! why???? =)I think $3k a month or a week forever is great. It would definately help out. I actually like the new game idea that some states are doing.

I'm guessing once the # of Instant Losers per week drops below 15,000, PA will announce the game's retirement.

Jimmy:The MUSL Annuity4Life was very similar to Lotzee. At least the NJ game paid the top prize in lump sum (there were understandable complaints that the $500,000 cash prize had to be split if multiple winners).

I have suggested numerous times that PA join Hot Lotto , probably in a longer-odds version.

JimmySand9 — Thu, 18 Nov 2004 01:42:12 GMT

Lifetime payments don't bother me, and neither do annuity payments. As long as I don't have to work. But if you win Un -Lucky for Life (as Cash Only calls it), you will indeed still have to work. $36,000/year is paltry at best, and considering the $2 price, it's unacceptable. With the odds, and the price, it should be $100,000/year for life. I like the instant win feature, and if I ever play, that would be why. All in all, it's a poorly executed game. I'm sure PA's profit margins on this game a... [ More ]

still no second top prize winner. they keep advertising the number of instant winners on their website, but the number keeps going down. it's only in 4 digits. PA should just give up and get rid of the game before anyone notices it's there.

and there will only be one top prize winner.

This was taken from the PA lottery website apparently this game was brought about by the people of PA who requested a game like this. So if your feeling let down because of this game you should be blaming the people who requested it. If it's development took almost 2 years. How come you Pennsylvanians didn't step up to the plate and protest it's prize structure. Granted 36 grand after taxes isn't a huge amount but it will go a long way towards funding some young peoples retirement and help the w... [ More ]

I see the Lucky for Life lotto sticking around for AT LEAST a year. I don't see what you guys hold against it. Give it a chance! Buy a ticket! It's not that bad! The $2.00 price isn't all that bad since you can win INSTANTLY. Which I have won 7 out of the 12 tickets I have bought since it's on sale. I mean, already one person has won the $3,000 per month for life. I know you wouldn't complain if YOU had won the $3000 per month for life. Give it a chance, don't boycott it.... [ More ]

i tihnk PA is better off with hot lotto. i used to take the hour-long drive to west virginia to play hot lotto. at $1/ticket, and a guarenteed annuity jackpot of $1 million, or around $500,000 cash, it's better for PA's players. the odds may be harder, but i think it would do better than lucky for life lotto.

Absolutely... I know it wouldn't affect my powerball buying at all... if that's what they are concerned with...the match 6 is a joke, I am sure the new one is trying to get instant players over to the online side, but I just refuse to be roped into another $2 game... If I spend $2 on my powerball ticket to get the powerplay, it's MY choice... If they put this poll on the PA lottery homepage, they would see what the players actually want...
