Starting tomorrow, New York's lottery is going to be offering a Deal or No Deal scratch-off game. It's just another one of those tired "match your numbers to the winning numbers" games, but there's also a second chance drawing for non-winning tickets. They're giving away 18 trips for four to Hollywood, and two of the winners will appear as contestants on the show.

As far as I can remember, this is the first time the NY's lottery has offered a game show theme ticket.

My cousins are from the Southern Tier and I remember buying WoF and LMaD scratchers for novelty purposes on a trip there a few years ago...won $7 on the WoF ticket too. Had a neat giant wheel on it.

We had a Deal or No Deal lottery game here, but it played fairly similar to the original show.

Oregon's version was like the Michigan one... but Tennessee's was like New York's. The former is more fun than the standard 'scratch your lucky numbers, match and win prize shown'.

Oh Really? Will they have translators on hand if the 2 winners don't speak a lick of English, ala Big Spin?

Still, it's an interesting way to get a shot at being on the show...and a first for a non-lottery show, no?

Confirming what Mitch said, NY did have a Let's Make a Deal game. I remember buying a winning LMaD ticket on the way to Niagara Falls 7 or 8 years ago. It was a $2 ticket and I won $10.

Remember the good old days when we'd call 'em "losing tickets"?
If Win, Lose Or Draw were to be revived today, would the PCers insist the name change to Win, Non-Win Or Draw?

You can add Pennsylvania to the list of states that are on the DoND Scratcher Bandwagon...

And only because I'm a glutton for punishment, and I have nothing better to do, here are some other states that have introduced DoND scratch tix that are currently or soon to be availible.

Connecticut

Idaho

Indiana (Hoosier Lottery)
http://www.in.gov/hoosierlottery/games/mai...et.asp?gnum=906

Iowa

--And A Playable Demo--

Rhode Island
http://www.rilot.com/instant.asp
(Second one up from the bottom of the page)

West Virginia
http://207.97.205.154/html/DOND.htm

New York
(Omitted for obvious reasons -- There's already a link at the top of the thread)

Now what's really interesting as while I was wasting time doing research for this post...I found a couple tickets that I hadn't heard, seen, or mentioned here before.

Idaho - Family Feud
http://idaholottery.com/ticketpgs/scr715.asp

Nebraska - PYL

So ends my contribution for the day!

Actually, to some PCers, it would be Win, Non-Win Or Neither Win Nor Non-Win.

And to other PCers and some soccer moms, it would simply be called "Draw: We Want Everyone To Be Treated Equally With No Winners And No Losers, Therefore We Don't Even Keep Score".

Bumping for good reason...

Add Ohio to the list of states with a Deal or No Deal scratcher. It won't go on sale until tomorrow. Despite that, the minimart down the street had a cardboard cutout of Howie with ticket info, among other promotional items in the store. It's a $5 ticket with a top prize of $100,000. Game play is similar to the Iowa game linked above.

ETA: Link to the Ohio Lottery DoND scratcher info page.

Add Virginia to the list. I saw one in 7-11 a few days ago. I couldn't tell whether it was a $1, $2, or $5 ticket, but I might check it out eventually.

$5 ticket with a $75,000 top prize.

Wisconsin has one too.

Nebraska just started selling DOND instant tickets also... $3 ones, similar to Iowa (i.e., the more fun to play version). Yes, we had a Press Your Luck $5 ticket. I bought one for my collection but otherwise it wasn't much of a game. We also had Price is Right a couple of years ago.

Say, maybe there will be a Temptation ticket soon? If you don't match the winning number the ticket will instead say "Lots of Love". Rossi could even be on the tickets in 4 different collectible poses... oh the possibilities!

Imagine now if all our favorite game shows were resuscitated into scratch tickets. Some might work out nicely. Let's see...

Celebrity Sweepstakes: scratch each celebrity's podium. If their number matches your lucky numbers, multiply $1 by the odds appearing above that celebrity.

"Ooh! I just scratched Carol Wayne and got 20 bucks!"
