I'm sure there will be plenty of tellers and windows open for an event of such magnitude.

Whenever I read threads about $.10 vs. dollar supers, I never read about anyone who bets in other units.

I play .50 supers because I can pay $24 for a $48 dollar super. I'd rather collect half the dollar payoff than a 10% payoff.

When I play exotics like pick 3's, 4's, tris and supers I want a payoff that will change my life, or at least boost the bankroll.

If a super pays $2k for a buck, I want $1k, not $200. I can get $200 with my win bets.

And yes I know that the $200 stated above would only cost $4.80.

Just my 2, er 50 cents.
