I had heard that the pick3 has become an daily thing. Well honestly this is the stupidest idea I've ever heard from the staff of this website community. What about us that have no idea when the time is for the pick3. Or that we are not on at that time but bought tickets.

Wow, we can't win either way. We heard from a lot of people that it was too much.

ok well this could be an idea I don't know if someone posted it somewhere else already but. hourly or daily or whatever you want, why not let us chose to turn it on and off?

I think it should be quarter hourly 4 times anhour.

it got really annoying with hourly because noone bought tickets

I understand that but by switching it your making it worse of those that arent on to play

Once every 24 hours is fine -- daily draws are much better than hourly ones.

Justin, did you miss the brain station along the conveyor belt to life? If nothing else, you might have delivered your criticism more constructively! How in the world is this the most stupid decision the staff made again? Your exaggeration of the situation astounds me, to say the least.

sudzy, I know you're not out to win any points for intelligence, so I won't even waste the time. Suffice it to say, though, your recommendation of every quarter hour is idiotic at best.

I do agree that people should be able to win, regardless of their online/offline status. If they're offline, simply send them a zone announcement on their next login of they won. If they are logged in during the drawing, they'll see the public announcement of the winner anyway.

I agree with being able to toggle the display messages of this game, though. I don't ever actually play it, so it'd be nice to be able to completely ignore it.

I dont even pay attention to your comments anymore kai why waste your time

Wow, a constructive literate criticism. What a unique approach.

Personally, I liked it when it was hourly, because I could play more often. However, once a day is fine too.

And, no, I don't think this was the worst thing (I'm trying to be nice here) the admins ever did. Sacking Mel was just dispicable. Oh, what's that, a joke? Oh, well,... forget it.

obviously you do pay some attention to him, or you would have not known he made a comment towards you to ignore. hehehehehe i do like the idea of turning off and on pick three.

Post 12 by FlyingPhoenix (move over school!) on Sunday, 13-May-2007 22:59:45

I like that as well and would support that but only if it was hourly

Post 13 by FlyingPhoenix (move over school!) on Sunday, 13-May-2007 23:02:54

thats all I want is the hourly back

So that explains everything! I tried to buy tickets 5 minutes ago but my stupid computer wouldn't let me! Yeah I'd like the oppsion to turn pick 3 on and off as well! It would keep everybody happy! I liked it ho7urly! If I didn't want to play I'd use it as a sort of clock! So I wouldn't have to look at the time.

once a day is cool, i like that

Post 16 by laced-unlaced (Account disabled) on Monday, 14-May-2007 3:23:48

and, it does save all the "no tickets baught this hour". i know you can turn it off, but what's the big deal? if you do it once a day, there is more chance of there actually a winner, because more people can get tickets, and there for increase there chance

Post 17 by FlyingPhoenix (move over school!) on Monday, 14-May-2007 15:17:32

not really
the hourly deal would if played give more chances to win
at least thats my opinion
anyone else agree?

Post 18 by Austin (the magic fan!) on Monday, 14-May-2007 20:42:00

i like pick 3 daily it's way better. i never really played pick 3 so i really don't give a fuck.

Post 19 by laced-unlaced (Account disabled) on Tuesday, 15-May-2007 2:49:16

lol yeah, and it's not like the real lottery is once an hour. lol

The thing is that the hourly Pick3 never had a good amount of points in the pot, but here's something to think about since it's only played once per day now. Why not have a SET amount of points in the pot like 100,000 or 1 Million points, I mean what are the odds of people winning but it keeps a gambler gambling at any rate.

And another thing is that not very many people tend to stay on here all day just to wait to see if they win or not because we all have things we need to tend to otherwise so why not make it to where it tells you if you won or not when you log in.

hmm maybe if it applied to those offline as well as those that are online. Only then would I support the daily pick3 idea

you don't have to be online to win.

Post 23 by Selena Fan (Account disabled) on Wednesday, 16-May-2007 1:35:02

Justin I agree with you! The once a day thing I don't agree with! I still wish they'd have an on and off feature! That would be cool! I know I'd not have to be on line to see if I won, like Chris said we have other things to tend to!

Post 24 by FlyingPhoenix (move over school!) on Wednesday, 16-May-2007 18:15:56

yea its crazy you have to be online to win, we got better things to do other than to sit here all day long and wait till 8pm to see if we win

Post 25 by cuddle_kitten84 (I just keep on posting!) on Monday, 21-May-2007 5:35:32

how about this. a daily pick 3 drawing, with options as to whether the messages are turned off or not, and a notification of some kind to those that are offline. i think that's fair.

Post 26 by FlyingPhoenix (move over school!) on Monday, 21-May-2007 5:49:23

ok I could deal with that
