I wouldn't say they are misers... just incompetent lackeys that haven't a clue what they are doing or what lottery players want... Fantasy 5 is VERY low on their list of what's important or in need of improvement.
government tries to be jack of all trades, and usually mucks everything up.
they need to get real, and let a competent gambling outfit run the lottery. casinos know how to get repeat business...they treat the clientele right...offer budget games, comps, get repeat business.
they need to offer incentives, especially with the tanking economy...get business they otherwise wouldn't have, most especially repeat business on a regular basis.
Daily Derby is gettin up there, currently $389,000...when it hits $500k+ I sometimes make token stabs at it.
Once my 25% boildown had the winning numbers, but $2 is expensive, and 3-6picks weren't enough to shake out a decent match
one thing that irks me about the Daily Derby game is that the racetime is essentially a pick3 game, but even ifya match racetime exactly, it pays out chump change Two Daily3 picks are a better bet instead of one Daily Derby pick.
