Unique ‘All or Nothing’ draw game starts in September

August 11, 2014 Posted by NC Lottery at 2:08 PM

Everyone who has played Powerball, Mega Millions or one of our daily draw games has been there: You get a ticket for an upcoming drawing, but don’t match any of the winning numbers – and don’t win a prize. With the All or Nothing game, that’s about to change. There are two ways to win the $250,000 top prize: Match all the numbers drawn, or none of them. Either way wins!

When All or Nothing starts on Sept. 7, it will mark the first new draw game in North Carolina since Mega Millions came here in January 2010. Because Mega Millions is so similar to Powerball, many players knew how to play the game right away.

All or Nothing, which is not a multistate game, is totally different. A panel displays the numbers 1 to 24. You can let the computer Quick Pick, or choose 12 numbers yourself. Each play costs $2.

Drawings will be held twice a day, at 12:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., to randomly select 12 numbers. There are 10 ways to win:

Match four or eight numbers for $2 (1 in 5.5 odds)
Match three or nine numbers for $10 (1 in 28 odds)
Match two or 10 numbers for $50 (1 in 310.5 odds)
Match one or 11 numbers for $500 (1 in 9,390 odds)
Match zero or 12 numbers for $250,000 (1 in 1.35 million odds)

It will be easy to find out if you are a winner by checking your numbers or watching the results of a drawing on our website. All prizes must be claimed within 180 days.

We are excited about this new way to play in North Carolina. Tickets will go on sale Sunday, Sept. 7 with the first drawing held at 12:30 p.m. that day. We are looking forward to finding out if the first $250,000 winner is someone who matches all – or none – of the numbers.

Dumb? But I'm assuming the numbers in any order? I never play lol NC Lottery
It's actually a question we get a lot! You can have the numbers (or not!) in any order and still win. Best of luck!

9/04/2014 05:51 - Charles F.

What I meant to say was that because the expected value of the ticket never exceeds the odds of winning the grand prize ( by a factor of ten no less [1:2,704,156]) All or Nothing sounds like a less than exciting proposition.

8/31/2014 09:02 - Tory B.

I love the draw times for this game. Would NCEL consider moving the other draw games to the same times? NC Lottery
Thanks for the suggestion. Our afternoon Pick 3 and Pick 4 drawings are held at 3 p.m. The other drawings are televised live and are timed to be viewed along with 11 p.m. news.

8/21/2014 08:33 - ADELAIDA S.

well said, thank you....will just continue playing for fun and good luck...thanks again....

8/20/2014 10:17 - Bobbi B.

Read what they said Carefully:The top prize of $250,000 is a set amount, which means we could award multiple $250,000 winners for one drawing. However, it is possible that the number of top prize play could exceed the prize fund (liability cap), in which case all of the top prizes would be lumped together and divided evenly among the winners at that level :-)NC Lottery
That is correct. But, again, based on the odds in the game, we don't expect that to happen often, or maybe even at all. It would be REALLY COOL to have lots of lucky winners in one drawing!

8/20/2014 10:12 - ADELAIDA S.

i am still waiting for a response to the posts i did a couple of days ago. any response or a well explanation for a layman's view? Simple explanation will do so i will be able to undersand how and why most of the big and also small winners are from there....please thank you...

8/20/2014 02:43 - Barbara K.

This is a blog with freedom to agree or not.If you do not like what is said I suggest you take your own advice and find you some activity somewhere else.Opinions are like -- everyone has one!NC Lottery
With all due respect, we aren't sharing opinions, we're sharing factual information.

8/19/2014 10:10 - ADELAIDA S.

please respond to my inquiry re: random distribution of lottery tickets. Just today, the retailer have a series of for example..404 002779 000, tjen tne series the following day or two was 404 002789 000, how can that be randow, it is just the following series? this is only an example, this is not the real series, but the same sequence, next to each number...I can not figure this out. If it is random, then the next series that particular retailer should get should not next to the 0002779 instead of 0002780? isn't that obvioud? if it is really random??????please give me a clear explanation...thank you..NC Lottery
A retailer who gets more than one roll of tickets for a particular game may very well get two that were printed right after one another. But, because nobody knows what roll of tickets has a big or small-winning ticket on it, that makes no difference in the odds. Just like buying one ticket after another makes no difference, the odds are the same for everyone.

8/18/2014 03:11 - Roger K.

I hope the lotteries don't go to the RANDOM NUMBER Generator [RNG] it is a Computer Generated, Right? I guess people do win on the numbers it generates..LUCKY REWARDS,CAROLINA CASH 5 BONUS BUCKS DRAWING AND SUCH! But, I think using the balls is more trustworthy! Hope they stick with the balls on PB,MM,CASH5 AND THE Pick 3 and 4 games, Good Luck everyone!

8/18/2014 02:47 - Charles Allen W.

Sounds to me like there will be a lot of Nothings, and some Somethings....And few, if any Alls. And I agree with Lottery Project. NCEL can see all numbers selected prior to having the computer select the "winners"

8/18/2014 02:39 - NC Lottery

NC Lottery
Lotteries are using RNGs to conduct more and more drawings as they evolve and use new technology to improve. All RNG drawings, just like those conducted with draw machines, have an independent auditor as a witness. The public can observe drawings using RNGs just like they can drawings that use ball machines. The RNG is a separate system operating independently of other lottery systems. Its job is to randomly select 12 winning numbers between 1 and 24. RNGs already are used for raffles, Lucke-Rewards drawings, Carolina Cash 5 Bonus Bucks drawings, and second-chance drawings. Since All or Nothing has 12 winning numbers, that would make for a long drawing if done by a ball machine. We hope players will like seeing the results of our new All or Nothing drawings when they debut on our website on Sept. 7.

8/18/2014 09:09 - Brian D.

Hello everybody. Its been a while since I posted but I feel I should for this game. I am just wondering why the decision to use a Random Number Generator (RNG) instead of a ball set. I can already see the C++ code for this one... I bet there is internal code within the RNG that looks at all the played choices """BEFORE""" the winning numbers are generated. RIGHT or WRONG? GOOD LUCK To ALL THAT TRUSTS RNG's

8/16/2014 06:01 - john h.

If you don't like the lottery don't play for gods sake. No need to get on here and whine about it.

8/16/2014 08:00 - Darlene E.

The MEGA is a rip off,If you get the MEGA BALL you only win 1.00 that's crap. At least with the PB you win 4.00.As one player said should have more games for 1.00, and more payout on the Cash 5 for 2#'s.Another Big issue for Pick 4 should be 599.00 instead of 600.00(example 1114 any order) having to travel to GSO or Raleigh. Let the payout be 599. (since there are no taxes taken out)Please catch up with other states on this.Oh why are retailers starting New Scratch tickets on Mon. thought it was FIRST TUES.at least they did here in Winston-Salem this month(aug). Anyway BOL to all.. NC Lottery
The folks who make decisions about our games read these comments, so thank you for the feedback. As to the $599 limit that retailers can pay out, this is part of our state's statute that says we must collect taxes and perform a debt setoff for players who win $600 or more.

8/15/2014 03:47 - Charles D.

I was born at night, but it wasn't last night. The name "ALL OR NOTHING" should be changed to "DIVIDE AND CONQUER".

8/15/2014 01:47 - Betty R.

can you tell us the final ticket total for the last HOT 5 $5000 drawing last week? I know someone that won and was wondering just how lucky he was. NC Lottery
Sure we can. We had 187,316 entries.

8/15/2014 12:44 - carolyn b.

WILL WE BE ABLE TO GET THIS TICKET ON A MULTI DRAW. OUR PLAY SLIPS STILL NEED 2 BE CHANGED! SAY U WANT MORE THEN 8 DRAWS. WE NEED A BOX THAT SAYS 8+ MARK THAT BOX TELL THE CASHIER HOW MANY DRAWS YOU WANT UP TO 26 DRAWS. IT'S A VERY EASY FIX. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WON'T FIX THAT PROBLEM. OUR POOL PLAYS 25 DRAWS. WE PLAY OUR OWN NUMBERS THERE IS NO OPTION FOR 25 DRAWS ON PLAY SLIPS.THEY HAVE 2 HND PUNCH THE NUMBERS IN AND THEN PUT 25 DRAWS IN MY HAND. MOST PEOPLE DONT LIKE 2 DO IT BY HAND. THEY SHOULDN'T HVE 2. PLAY SLIPS SHOULD BE RIGHT. IT ISN'T A MATTER OF CAN'T BE FIXED...IT'S A MATTER OF THEY WON'T FIX IT! NC Lottery
Yes. All or Nothing will have a multidraw feature for up to 28 draws. Playslips have space limits. That's why we have a choice of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 26 for multidraws. If you want specifically 25 draws, manual is the only way. 25 Powerball tickets is a big purchase. Retailers should not mind helping. If they do, we would recommend you find another store.

8/15/2014 12:38 - jerry s.

Well, I was kinda looking forward to playing this game until I saw that the numbers are to be picked by a "random number generator" and not by a ball machine, so, no $ from me.

8/15/2014 11:51 - Jonathan Y.

But you can still play the regular Mega Millions for $1 per game, correct? NC Lottery
Sure. Mega Million tickets will still be $1 and Cash 5 tickets will still be $1.

8/15/2014 11:11 - Barbara T.

Both eyes are open. Both eyes will

8/15/2014 08:28 - Ronald C.

Why can't we subscribe to this game yet? NC Lottery
Tickets for our new All or Nothing game go on sale Sunday, Sept. 7 and the first drawings will be held that day too. Tickets for All or Nothing will only be on sale at lottery retail locations. At this time, we do not plan to add All or Nothing to our subscription program.

8/15/2014 08:27 - Charles F.

I like HB's idea. A separate, daytime Cash 5 would be more exciting. I think you are too optimistic concerning how many people want a $2 ticket to win $173,002.50. How much has EZ match contributed to education since it started? NC Lottery
Lottoplayer. Each $1 EZ match ticket sold earns about 26 cents for education. The lottery recorded $6.2 million in EZ Match sales in its first four months. So about $3.9 million of that went out in prizes to EZ Match winners and $1.6 million was earned for education.

8/14/2014 08:04 - James L.

NCEL please respond to what I posted yesterday , but then again the truth hurts doesn't it. I will understand you not wanting to respond. NC Lottery
Better. We saw your comments and thought it was only fair to give you the last word. As we mentioned earlier, folks who work here in game design read the Lucke-Zone blog, too. The feedback we get from those spending their money to take chances on winning lottery prizes, whether it is good or bad, helps us do a better job. In terms of odds of playing lottery games verses the odds offered by casinos, remember the lottery is here to raise money for education. We are balancing prize expense with the job of meeting our mission of raising money for a good cause.

8/14/2014 07:51 - chris c.

hey ncel you still didn't answer my question, when tickets are reordered why the prize count doesnt go up to reflect the new reordered prizes. NC Lottery
Chris. We checked into your question. You’re right. The prize count should go up to reflect the new prizes that are part of the reordering of the Hit 500! game. Turns out the footnote marking a reorder was put up prematurely. If you check our instant game pages again, you’ll see the prize table now reflects the additional prizes in the game based on the reorder. The total number of $500 prizes from the original game plus the $500 prizes included in the reordering of the game will be 6,068. Sorry for any confusion.

8/14/2014 04:55 - Darlene E.

FINALLY A "NEW GAME" worth playing. They have this same game in Georgia, only it plays 4x a day. Was going to play when I visit in a few weeks. I just don't like the fact that if you have 5, 6, or 7#'s you win NOTHING (DUH) I think NCEL should do away with the (front pair/back pair), also pay more on the CASH 5 FOR 2#. Should get at least $10.00 like in Ohio. New scratch tickets, the NEW ones are OLD ones with different names, played the same way. Anyway thanks for my win on Pick 4 - 3x for 5000.00. Good luck EVERYONE!! NC Lottery
Congrats on the Pick 4 win. That's a good one. Thank you for the suggestions on how to improve our games. Folks at the lottery read the Lucke-Zone blog too so it is a good way for us to get feedback from our players. Good luck with All or Nothing.

8/14/2014 11:06 - Mark B.

I WIN NOTHING YOU TAKE IT ALL!!!

8/14/2014 10:38 - Betty R.

hi NCEL.... can you tell us the final ticket total for todays cash 5 bonus bucks drawing? NC Lottery
Jean. Yes we can. We had 1,063,412 entries in the Thursday, Aug. 14, Cash 5 Bonus Bucks drawing. We have a web banner up on the website with the winning numbers and where the winning tickets were purchased.

8/14/2014 10:18 - Raif S.

Prize structure seems backwards to me. Seems easiest not to match any numbers but yet U win the most if U match 0 numbers. When U match 4 or 8 numbers which seems the hardest to me just as in the Cash 5 game for example, U win the least money . Does not make sense to me at all how they award the least money for the hardest match. In all the other draw games, when I match one number, I win nothing but in this game, I would win $500 . I will try it when it comes out tho. NC Lottery
Check out the blog one more time. The odds of matching all 12 numbers or getting none of the numbers are the same. So it will be just as hard to get either result to win the game's top prize.

8/14/2014 10:01 - LLoyd K.

Reading the comments, I noticed that Shawn made a comment about bring in a game that has a one million dollar jackpot like other states. Back in the 70's, Ohio started the lottery with a one million dollar jackpot every Saturday you won only if you happened of course, to match all the numbers. If no one won the jackpot then the rest of the money that was collected for that week after paying the small winners went straight to the state to help pay for education, law enforcement and for the city's sanitation. That is why the state of Ohio in the early 70's had the best of all three in the United States. Maybe if you was to try this then the government of North Carolina wouldn't have to worry about trying to find ways of raising our taxes to pay for everything. Just a thought!

8/14/2014 04:11 - Patricia H.

Ohh, I love this idea, can't wait! I do understand the odds of winning with zero matching numbers, but hey...zero just seems more my kind of "luck" lol;) I find it a refreshing twist on the games--thanks NCEL! As to the comment two posts above mine: I was delighted to win $50 yesterday on an older scratch-off, and a total of $100 on a newer ticket last week--I purchase perhaps six tickets on any given day, but usually win something. I live in a small town, and know a few people here who have won top prizes, including my Aunt. She won the 'Ruby Red' which was for $70,000 I believe. I've also played Vegas many times, yet still prefer the excitement of our state lottery. Win or lose, big city or small town, it's the knowledge of supporting my home state that brings me the most satisfaction. The education and enrichment of our youth--enhancing their daily lives and future contributions to society--impacts our future as well. We all win. Good Luck, Everyone!

8/13/2014 11:51 - Mellissa W.

I love new games, but I'm still waiting for Pick 3 and Pick 4 to be added as web based games.

8/13/2014 09:46 - mary w.

can't wait to play this game

8/13/2014 09:25 - Kathy L.

I agree with 232232 re Powerball ticket price increases. I had played in Va for years and here since 2006 and had a set of numbers I played comfortably at twice a week. Now, Powerball (not NC's fault) wants twice as much money from me. Dilemma: drop numbers I've played for years and watch them come up or spend twice as much as I used to. Also, please don't bring cash 5 to twice a day ever, unless you drop it to 25 cent or 50 cent options like other states. Thanks!

8/13/2014 08:38 - Minnie T.

You will always get one number

8/13/2014 08:35 - Obinna A.

So is $250 the starting jackpot? NC Lottery
No. All or Nothing is not a jackpot game. Each drawing will have a top prize of $250,000. Other prizes range from $2 to $500.

8/13/2014 07:53 - Tracy C.

Ehhhh, o k

8/13/2014 06:44 - Glenn J.

Decent odds compared to PB & MM. Mega mistake when they added ALL those other numbers, imo! Quit playing PB long ago, now given up on MM. Cash 5 is still best wtg. Think ALL or None should be $1. BOL to all.

8/13/2014 04:01 - Howard B.

Will the lottery ever bring a day time cash 5 like VACash 5?NC Lottery
It's possible, but there are no plans at this time

8/13/2014 03:21 - bryan h.

You people can believe what you want to believe about this new game All or Nothing , but it will not be any different than any other game, example EZ match , what a joke that was , just another different method of getting your $$$$ this game will suck just like the rest of em. The odds always favor the house, and your odds are worse playing the lottery, as opposed to playing in a casino or real live card game. But as always I will probably play it until I see that I'm not profiting. Instant tickets you can't even win 50$$$ anymore , thts sorry.

8/13/2014 03:10 - jason r.

how come yesterday i could enter for state fair tickets but i can't see know where to enter for them today? NC Lottery
You'll be able to enter a drawing for a State Fair ticket package beginning Sunday, Aug. 17. We were getting ready for the drawing and the entry site was posted before it was supposed to be. Any entries made during that time will be part of the drawing. If you enter the contest, good luck to you. So check back on Sunday.

8/13/2014 02:34 - Alicia C.

Considering I almost always hit zero numbers on my tickets, this should be a breeze, lol. If only I could be so lucky :)

8/13/2014 12:08 - Winford b.

Finally a new ticket

8/13/2014 11:13 - Betty R.

What happened to the state fair prize? NC Lottery
The entry period for the Lucke-Rewards drawing for the State Fair ticket package will start on Sunday, Aug. 17. As we were preparing for this, the entry site was prematurely posted online. Some entries were made. All entries made at that time will be part of the drawing. Good luck to you if you entered this drawing.

8/13/2014 10:17 - Jason K.

All or Nothing | Jason Anthony Kiser = (145) + (218) = (363) = In It to Win It | Frankie Carmen Gwynn = (162) + (201) = (363). According to this calculation... I can't lose!

8/13/2014 09:26 - Josef W.

Has the NCELC thought about allowing players to use their 2ND chance points to purchase subscriptions?NC Lottery
That's an original idea. But currently the lottery only sells tickets for actual currency, not rewards points.

8/13/2014 05:56 - coriante s.

This game I predict I will win up to a 1 million dollars iam excited about this there is a great chance to win alot I played this game in texas they have but there have a drawing four times a day

8/13/2014 05:50 - Rowena B.

A bit like KENO can't wait

8/13/2014 05:42 - SANDON E.

will the pick s and pick 4 be added to the subcrition service anytime soonNC Lottery
There are no plans to do that at this time.

8/13/2014 05:36 - Elisabeth W.

I have played a similiar game in new york (pick ten) and it is hard to win. I will buy my tickets on 9/7 and hope to hit a few bucks. Bottom line, its all about luck. So just keep playing!

8/13/2014 12:46 - yvonne n.

MM,EVER FEEL LUCKY & NOT WIN .[THAT WAS ME TONIGHT] I WAS HOPPING FOR THE BIG MEGA. LOL NOT ONE NUMBER SHOWED UP.PLEASE LET ME WIN POWER BALL ,,,OR SOMETHING REALLY SOOON...

8/12/2014 07:54 - Roger K.

Overall, you can probably expect to win 25% to 50% of what you spend...Other states that play this game, have implemented the game with four daily drawings. Glad NC will only have two drawing a day!Can't miss out out on my other drawings! MM,PB and Cash5. But Will try it a few times! Good Luck everyone!

8/12/2014 07:31 - carolyn b.

8/12/2014 07:28 - john c.

I hit 7 out of 80 for $5000 w/ keno, so maybe I should try this game using a few sets of birthday months/days (excluding numbers 25-31) and even if I hit only 1 number, it's $500.

8/12/2014 04:24 - Matthew H.

Numbers 1 to 24. Not much room for error.

We will see

8/12/2014 03:15 - Antella T.

If none of my numbers hits I still will win?NC Lottery
Yes, but if you look at the odds, it takes just as much luck to match zero numbers as it does to match 12. It's just a different kind of game.

8/12/2014 02:47 - Tim I.

It’s amazing when a couple from the same county wins at the same time. One Caesars Palace & One $5,000.00 winner. That’s really luck…. Will keep trying….

8/12/2014 02:12 - Lynn Q.

Most of us have bad luck, so what would happen if 200 players don't hit any of the 12 numbers in that game? Would the $250,000 be split by 200 players? If that's true, then each player would get about $1,250 before taxes. Please respond to this Lucke-Zone.NC Lottery
Read the blog and the odds carefully. It takes just as much luck to match 12 numbers as it is to get zero. It's just a different way to play a draw game :-)

8/12/2014 01:53 - James R.

Can't wait to play this very interesting game

Sounds interesting. Can't wait to play!!! Go NC lottery.

Now thats what iam talking about, iam good at no numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets get going, can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8/12/2014 12:46 - valarie b.

sounds exciting just like that ez match game , no nobody I know won not even myself

8/12/2014 12:26 - chris c.

hey ncel you have reordered on more tickets including the Hit 500, why? and it says prize count has increased but the 500.00 prize is still the same amount it was when it started. what did you do just reorder the lesser amount prizes and break even ones?NC Lottery
When a new game is ordered, an entire new set of tickets is printed, including ALL the prizes from top to bottom. Many factors go into the decision about when to reorder/end a game.

8/12/2014 12:12 - chris c.

hey jason 99.99% of us lottery players are right there with you, we just keep buying, buying tickets and dont win, then we enter enter tickets and still cant win anything, so do what i do once in awhile take a break & try again later maybe our luck will change some day

8/12/2014 11:48 - Takelya B.

Zeke, just noticed that too! I did not see that the first time around. A majority of the tickets sold will match 5,6, and 7 numbers; you will lose your money. Any 0 and 12 match tickets will be few. Well, one winner for every 1.35 million tickets they sell. So if the tickets sell slow, then no $250,000 winner until 1.35 million tickets are sold!NC Lottery
You're right except for the part about how many tickets have to be sold before there's a winner; someone could get lucky and beat those odds in the very first drawing. It's just like any other draw game, the odds never change! :-)

8/12/2014 11:32 - James M.

I'm excited about all or nothing..hope to be one of the lucky players to win. Is it possible for n.c. to bring a game starting off with a million bucks like some of the other states have?NC Lottery
There are just so many factors that go into how the prize structure works for a game: Population of the state, popularity of the lottery, ticket price, odds of winning, non-jackpot prizes, etc... It's possible at some point in the future, but no plans right now :-)

8/12/2014 11:08 - Betty R.

check the state fair dates... you have the draw draw date wrong.NC Lottery
Can you be more specific?

8/12/2014 10:56 - dowand k.

I love it could you just make it 50 or 25 cent per drawNC Lottery
If the game cost $.50 instead of $2 per play (75% less)... then the prizes would all have to be 75% less, or the odds of winning prizes would have to be four times as tough. The prize money that you can win playing a lottery game comes from players entering for a chance to win. So through some combination of prize amounts and odds that all has to be worked out for every game.

8/12/2014 10:56 - Pamela L.

I played this game in Texas!

8/12/2014 10:29 - mary s.

you will never have all and you will always have at least one number....that's the way it works.

at last they are getting a game that tells the truth. All or Nothing. more nothing then all. lets see how many people in wake county and down east will be the first winners.Nothing for ALL of you! to be honest with ALL the money made on the lottery why is the state leg. having problems giving the teachers and state retired employees a raise.NC Lottery
Hi, Earl. You are correct that it is the state legislature, not the lottery, that is responsible for making budget decisions to fund education. The lottery has raised more for education each year; here is a link you can copy and paste to see. http://bit.ly/1nMEgAf

One has to remember, you are selecting half the available numbers so your odds of not getting any is equal to getting all twelve.. I'll play it though, after all it's is luck that will command the day!

will each player that matches all or nothing win $250,000 or will that amount be split between all winners?NC Lottery
The top prize of $250,000 is a set amount, which means we could award multiple $250,000 winners for one drawing. However, it is possible that the number of top prize play could exceed the prize fund (liability cap), in which case all of the top prizes would be lumped together and divided evenly among the winners at that level :-)

I can't wait to play.

8/11/2014 10:34 - Randall L.

8/11/2014 09:49 - Michael C.

Glad we finally getting a new game!! Now please consider changing all NC draws to these times!!

8/11/2014 09:23 - Michael M.

I might try that game

8/11/2014 06:55 - SHEILA W.

omg I will play, but I never win anything, I am the biggest loser !!!!

8/11/2014 06:27 - ROY C.

i guess that means if i play 5 sets of numbers and none of them wins i walk away with 1.2 M!

8/11/2014 06:11 - jim H.

I am ready to try my luck on this game too!

8/11/2014 05:31 - Deondra a.

SOO EVEN IF WE DONT MATCH ALL 12NUMBERS YOY STILL CAN WIN 250,000?NC Lottery
Please read the blog carefully and look at the odds; it takes just as much luck to match 12 as it does to not match any... its just a new kind of game! :-)

8/11/2014 05:27 - Takelya B.

Sounds interesting. But we shall see if it will be a good game or not. Nice to have something exclusive to NC. PB and MM are impossible to win. Everyone should hit big at least once. I wish it (MM and PB) would go back to the way it use to be.

8/11/2014 05:10 - Betty K.

That's the best good news I heard since I started playing the PB,MM ,Cash 5 and second chance.Maybe I will get a chance to win something. Looking forward to September 07.

8/11/2014 04:14 - MR. Kenneth R.

oooooo yea now i,m felling luckey.......lol

8/11/2014 03:49 - Dana A.

I should win $250,000 with this game since I never have any #'s in the PB or MM!!!!

8/11/2014 03:23 - Sarah J.

i can't wait to play. i always try games that come out.

8/11/2014 02:51 - Allen F.
