NCEL, why didn't you post my previous comment on this $50 ticket. NCEL is being dishonest. You're implying the odds to win $5000 in the "Ultimate" game as 1 in 8.26. If a company did this, you'd be in court.

The Ultimate Blowout ticket is a joke right? There are only 3 listed prizes and the odds are horrible. To win $250 1 in 10 so 10 tickets cost $500 To win $500 1 in 50 so 50 tickets cost $2500 To win $5000 1 in 1000 so 1000 tickets cost $50,000. No one should play this game.
