Oh my....weren't Florida and Michigan involved in some kind of voter primary scam, not too long ago? Is it in the water??

Scam? Did I miss something? Their votes weren't counted in the Democratic primaries, but they were both told this would happen a long time ago if they insisted on pushing their primaries up.

Hi coolkraft,

Why do you want the market extended?

I think in time these scratch off tkts will have to change their structure...more states seem to be doing that, ie Virginia...but I think Florida may do something closer to January about these tkts when powerball starts...any thoughts on extending to January when Powerball starts?

as usual, thank you

people are really dumb... when it says the odds of winning are 1 in 50 kajillion or whatever, that means that one out of the 50 kajillion tickets will win, not that you have that chance every time you buy a ticket... if you are worried about buying a ticket that already paid out the top prize, then buy the newest ticket or check the records to see if anyone already won.
