As long as the game is paying off a guaranteed 50% of what your odds are, it's the best best lottery game any state lottery has to offer to the player. I wouldn't care for pari-mutuel payoffs either and I think it's a ripoff to the players. So is the selling out of number combinations after a certain amount of them have been sold. We spend our dollars to take a losing gamble (50% odds against you before you even place your bet) and yet they can't afford to lose a gamble? What are they sellin... [ More ]

i really don't like 4 this way. compared to pick 4 games with standard (half the odds) payouts, it doesn't pay as much. i do understand where you're going though todd. pari-mutuel payouts for pick 3 and pick 4 games are not a good idea.

This is a great poll topic.I voted for New Mexico's 4 This Way, because I love how it changes standard Pick 4 play into a game that pays off greater than 1 in 10 times! What a great concept, I really hope it catches on in NM. If they had that game in NJ I would play daily.

EW:CA Decco was a pick-4 game using a deck or cards, hence, DECCoThe CO Perfecto games were computerized instant games.

Very well thought out.Quinto was modeled on NJ 5-Card Lotto, which lasted only a couple years. How long has Quinto been played

My favorite was the PA Super7... would be cool if they brought that one back with a lump sum option...
