The Jags are getting PR left and right!

I like the sound of this second chance game.  It seems like the odds would be pretty good at scoring some Jags swag.

Good for the Jags, keep the momentum going strong.

Can't say that I'm a big fan of this, unless some of the proceeds are going to the sale of season tickets for the FL Lotto. 

We need to be buying season tickets, not lottery tickets.  If you love the jags, and you have the disposable income, then support them directly, or they won't be here anymore.  Last I checked, the NFL keeps stats on the amount of seat[b/] a team sells, not the amount of lottery tickets the team sells. 

Once we don't have an issue with selling seating tickets, then we can start pushing lottery tickets.

Sorry to Negative Nancy on this one, but you have to look through the marketing and who's doing it.

With a baby on the way, I will need to win the lottery to afford a season ticket!!!! lol

It's not a matter of competing for the same dollars with this type of product IMO.  People aren't going to choose between buying Jags season tickets or lottery tickets.  It's a matter of getting the brand out there and visible, which is the positive I see in this.  It merely raises awareness.  If people were going to buy lotto tickets before, then this won't change anything.

Personally, I've bought exactly one lottery ticket in my life, just "to try it," so to speak.

I'm not a big lotto guy either, but you know the person that I'm talking about - spends $30-$50 a week on scratch offs, and then will complain that they can't afford season tickets because they cost too much.  This same person that's grumbling about high ticket prices, beer prices, etc... will have spent more in lotto than for 2 season tickets and a $100 per game allowance.  Money management & priorities.
