Could you use an extra $100,000?

February 19th, 2010, 3:51 pm by

Who couldn’t use $100,000?

But there ’s a catch.

First you have to risk losing a whopping $2.

Colorado Lottery’s $2 MatchPlay tickets go on sale Sunday. It’s the state’s first new jackpot game in nine years.

You get three lines of six numbers for your $2 investment. Six numbers across the top line pays the jackpot. Cha-ching!

Whoa, don’t get too excited yet. Your odds of winning the top prize are 1-in-2,760,681.

You can also win $2-to-$1,000 by other matching combinations. Overall odds of at least getting your two bucks back are 1-in-6. Better odds than those $1 state lottery jackpot games,

MatchPlay drawings are 7:40 p.m. Tuesday and Friday. The  $100,000 jackpot increases by at least $10,000 per drawing until hit.

With this new game – and all the medical marijuana joints popping up  - the state of Colorado should be rolling in some form of the green stuff soon.
