Scratch off...

I have long been fascinated with the SC lottery , for many reasons but will save you all from my soap box.

What most interested me was how the lottery could sell tickets for a game when all of the top tier tickets for a game had already been won.

Look at it logically, if the average player knew that all of the prizes valued in a game worth 5000-50000 dollars in a particular game had been claimed already do you think that they would buy tickets for that game anymore? Of course not, the players would migrate to the next game. So some players of the lottery found out about this (smart people) sued the lottery commission and now the lottery commission prominently posts a display that says that the lottery continues to sell tickets for a game after all of the top tier prizes have been won.

Thoughts?
