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

It looks to me that it wasn't a co-winky-dink that DOND lottery tickets just hit a bunch of states at the same time...

According to the Colorado Lottery, there are a few states (Powerball States???) that are pooling together for a special interstate second chance draw.

According to the rules for the chance to win a trip to Hollywood, Colorado has 4 of the 9 finalist interstate spots for the draw (no mention of the other states tied into this promotion).

Our very own PA Lottery now has a TPiR ticket, which, amazingly, isn't a "match this number to this number." Just about every game they've produced in the last five years has been one tired concept after another, but their scratcher sales are up, so I guess they're doing something right. I will place a solid bet that the sales of this TPiR ticket will be through the roof.

Anyway, I played a $5 at lunch today after seeing a man in front of me in line buy 5 of them and lose on all of them. So I took his losing streak as a good sign for my wallet.

There is a Plinko game, Punchboard, Big Wheel, and Showcase. It's actually very well done and fun to play. I got two Plinko chips each in $10 spaces and won $5 on the Big Wheel for a nice quick cash amount of $25.

There is also a prize you can win on this ticket which is good for one of 20 first-class trips to LA to see TPiR, along with some other sights and sounds. Retail on the trip package is about $18K. Interestingly, the prize includes both $2000 in spending cash and about $4500 to offset federal withholding - I can never recall our Lottery ever giving away an allowance towards the withholding tax for any of their prizes. They've given away motorcycles, cruises, all sorts of prizes - none of which have included that withholding allowance. (Maybe TPiR can take a lesson or two from that!)

EDIT:
/wonder if winning contestants on Crosswords lose money after tax if they win a low amount of cash plus two or three trips and don't forfeit any of them?

Add Illinois to the list.

Heh...not six months ago, Illinois had a DoND scratcher, only it was $3 with a $40,000 top prize.  Otherwise (and lacking the 'banker bonus box'), this is the exact same thing, only $5/100k.  Hooray national tie-ins!

And the lottery's running a TV spot (that played before "DOND" last night in Chicago) with custom Howie footage (he actually looks right at the camera and says "Illinois Lottery" and it doesn't look like they dubbed the lottery name in).  Something the current "TPIR" scratch-off game doesn't have.

Oh boy...I *must* get the Hoosier Lottery DOND commercials to show y'all.  That's the biggest waste of 30 seconds I've ever seen. :)

No, really, I think I could quite happily go the rest of my life without hearing about the Hoosier Lottery ever again.
