The Nebraska Lottery has a TPIR scratch-off game going on, and that's just for starters; go here to see the rest: http://www.nelottery.com/article.xsp?aid=481

This is the exact same scratch game that has been available in Washington for some time.

Note to Stan: never replace the show's theme with the piece of junk on that commercial.

The game appears to include Switch?. I'd be interested to see how that works. (Why? I dunno. I just would.)

Actually, it's not really Switch?, it's the Bonus Scratch-Off. But it does have It's In the Bag and Plinko.

Here's the descriptions and accounts of the game.

Wow, I am purely shocked that purist Steve didn't catch this before me. Yet another source that is calling the showcases, SCSD's, and the Big Wheel "Spin The Wheel". Ugh....

Wow, and for a 5 dollar game, it sure does look like they are keeping most of the profits on that. Usually the big payout on a 5 dollar ticket is around 250k or 500k...

Nebraska's not a heavily populated state. If this game was in Ohio, one of the most populous states, the top prize would likely be in the $100,000 to $250,000 range.

Only 360,000 tickets are being printed and the payout rate is 68.4% ($1,230,500 of $1.8M of ticket sales given out as prizes), which is very high for a scratch-off lottery game. If this was in a bigger state, the prize pool for this lottery game would likely be 10 to 20 times larger. Unfortunately (or fortunately, if you don't mind a small profit), a great majority of the money offered in this game is in the form of $5 and $10 prizes.

In Iowa, the maximum payout for a $10 ticket is $100,000....$5 ticket is $50,000....$3 tickets have a top payout of $30,000...$2 tickets $25,000...and the highest I've seen a $1 ticket go is $4,000....we do run several "state" lottery games...the vast majority of them have failed as of late [Hot Lotto is the newest]...Daily Millions, "Rolldown", Freeplay Replay all failed.
