This could be a very interesting bet. Definitely would attract the lottery players.

$2 parlay today was $175,000

That makes a .25 cent ticket worth $21,875 on parlay value

.25 winning ticket today paid $3,062 to 5 tickets with 6 winners


Humongous tickets strategically mapped out or quick pick/numbers bettors will win the jackpot 99% of the time when it gets big like this.

Anybody playing a $48 handicapped ticket has almost no chance to win the jackpot and then if he makes 6 gets horribly underpaid.

Lets not forget they only give out 31% of what is bet on the same day those who share the winning combos. 46% is put into the jackpot, and 22.5% goes for takeout.

Plus you have people purposely taking long shots to try to win the thing.

That is it PG, we do already have that....Put a buck-$ on the Power-Ball, biigger payday....That is what i do, same chance in my mind....Not interested in this almost skilless endeavor...

Still, it might appeal to the uninitiated and casual fans....Hey, at this juncture of the game, why the hell not ?....

I still have trouble at times, with the "Pick-Ones".....:cool:

best,

Sums it up perfectly.

I can mark the 80,000 combo ticket, play the 25,000 combos that have the actual chance to make a lone winner and I refuse to play even knowing that I have an overpowering/tactical edge.
