80-year-old Michigan man wins $300,000 in lottery one week after switching to scratch-off gamesReply
Actually, I have considered switching to scratch tix. A couple things that keep me from changing are I think Texas scratch tix are rather weak considering the top prizes for the odds and cost of the games compared to other states like Florida. Also, Texas is a BIG state. If a particular game only has say 4 top prizes, there's a lot of territory those 4 top prizes can be hiding. Even a game with 10 top prizes (which is unusual) has a lot of places to hide.

80-year-old Michigan man wins $300,000 in lottery one week after switching to scratch-off gamesReply
I only play draw games so maybe I'll switch. Then again walking into the right store at the right time no less and picking out a scratch game out of the 70 choices is too imposing a challenge to me. I will continue to fill out cards and go to any store at any time to play them. Instant gratification is a sign of weakness.

will you play the new $5 mega millions?Reply
There will be people that play $5 on MM. Guaranteed. There are people that drop $5...$10...$20...$50...even $100 on scratch offs. For the Jackpots MM offers $5 is nothing to some players, despite the odds of over 1 in 302 million plus. For comparison, TX $100 - $20 Million Supreme scratch off has a top prize of $20 million with top prize odds of 1 in 2,550,000. They are really selling those tickets. Me personally, I would never spend that. I very seldom (won't say never) will spend $5 on MM

Anti Computerized Lottery PetitionReply
Lotteries make buckets of money. The cost of doing live ball drawings is a sliver of the ticket price. I'm boycotting RNG games starting now. That means no more Millionaire for Life. All of Colorado's in-state draw games are RNG. I already put their ticket vending machines on my ban list, so there's almost nothing here for me to play because stores have such a limited selection of scratch offs. I encourage everyone to boycott and force these people to end every RNG game.

The $29.95 Non-BelieverzReply
I posted one or two winning scratch-off tickets from a series with better chances of a top prize than at the beginning of the ticket run. They weren't huge winners, but neither are 50 cent boxed bets on pick 3 with its crummy paytable. You haven't shut down any lottery games. Your imagination the real world.
