rjarias I believe playing locally is far superior to playing online for multiple reasons. Faster instant payouts for one. Also, as far as prize amounts, yes its lower locally but its not an issue as you can just purchase more tickets, making your profits virtually unlimited. Also, with online plays, eventually they will shut you down. They will not tolerate long term consistent winners. Your account is tracked and flagged, you will eventually be limited and unable to wager anything higher than .25 or you will not be allowed to play at all. They are in the business of making profits and a consistent winner is a threat to their bottom line. They only want consistent losers playing on their site. It happens all the time with consistent winners in online sports wagering. When you play locally, you are under the radar, you can purchase multiple tickets at hundreds of different terminals across the state. You can cash them in at hundreds of terminals across the state. There is no way they can track you or your wins.
