If in fact these games no longer have a top prize, or other prize amounts that have been hit, the odds are not actually true as written on the ticket. In fact the person buying said ticket (who is the sucker to begin with, less than 50% split) now is just contributing to a said political cause. He would be better served buying a candy bar from the girl outside the store selling for the church, as this is a charitable contribution in which he actually receives a hard asset. I believe this is a wrong practice by the state and they should remedy this. NJ now depends on this income, that is a far cry from where it started. Going to Atlantic City is a perfect example of this states backward state of reality. Just go off the boardwalk and you will get it. NJ should lead the way with fair gaming and the NJ Lottery is a good start. I believe this brings up a very significant flaw in the state lotteries as they are being run today.

Sounds to me like Mr. Hoover is hoping to make a quick buck with his lawsuit...it's probably better odds than an instant game!
