I stumbled across the website for the Colorado Lottery, and it looks like for $3.00, you can have a go at The Price Is Right instant scratchoff game.

To see the cards (there are 3 variations of the game), and how they are played, check out The CO Lottery Website the game is on the lower right. Click on the card and then go to the "rules" in .pdf format to see examples of all 3 games.

Has/had any other states seen TPIR at their local lottery retailers yet? Ohio did Wheel a few years back, so hopefully they may doing it down the road.

Michigan has had one for quite some time. I've never purchased one, so I'm not sure how it is played.

Ontario is back in the game... Cliffhangers/Plinko/SCSD is this year's treat for $3.

We've had it in Washington for quite some time. I think it's either a $3 or $5 ticket (prolly $3, since I bought one once and I can't see myself ever pissing $5 away on the lottery, though I could see myself dropping $3 for a novelty), and it had a bunch of different "games" on it.

I just went to the Michigan Lottery's site...Looks like TPIR is a retired game, however...

Monty Hall and

Match Game

Are on sale. Oddly enough, CBS' Other Daytime Powerhouse that currently airs has their own scratch off (with one of the umpteen different designs in the series featuring Doug Davidson, ooooh!!!)

Wisconsin has also had a TPIR game in the past.

The TPIR Michigan ticket had four seperate games and cost $3. In the first game, if your bid matched the ARP, you won a prize. In the second game, if your spin was closer to $1.00 than two other players' "spins" you won the prize - double if you had $1.00 in your spin. In the showcase game, you had two "bids." Each time you had a bid below the ARP you won a prize. If you had the exact price, you won both awards. Finally, there were two chances at an instant win under the banner "Plinko."

Virginia had one a couple of years ago, a $5 ticket. I can't remember too much about it except there was a commercial with the Come On Down music, and something involving the Showcase.

On that Colorado ticket, can anyone make out what that thing in the upper-right is? I imagine it's either Contestants' Row or some pricing game, but I'll be damned if I can read it.

Atlantic Lotto has had 2 series of TPiR Scratch'n'Win. $3 a pop.

NO promotion from the ALC either which is odd since they promote other tickets.

Contestant's Row. It says "What's Up For Bid" at the top, the left column is your bid, the center is the ARP, and the right is the prize you win if Left and Center are the same.

New Jersey has had two "Wheel Of Fortune" Games (one running currently) as well as "Hollywood Squares", "Let's Make A Deal" and "Jeopardy!" licensed products. There have also been a number of instant games in NJ's history that have used phrases that were also game show titles such as "Masquerade Party", "Joker's Wild", "Money Maze", and "Treasure Hunt", all unrelated to their namesake shows.

And it still does.

This really annoys me. Missouri runs the SAME damn games every time...Match our number to yours (http://www.molottery.com/app/aboutourgames/howtowin/scratchers/scratchersindex.jsp)

They never do anything creative or useful.

Maybe Kansas or the soon to launch Oklahoma Lottery will have something more inventive.
