so if i had done that and played all 5 states , it would have cost 206 ... to make 450 ... you only have win 1 out of 5 to not lose any money, if you get 2 out of 5 ... thats a profit of 244.00 .. which is not bad ... obviously you gotta have a nice stash to start out with to be able to cover all 5 ... or i guess you could just play one state .. you should get a hit within 3 drawings... that would cost 123.00 to make 225.00 .. which is a profit of 102.00 ... i may start looking into playing these for straight hits ...
