In Chicago the Numbers Game replaced the Policy gamge, and the state lottery pretty much replaced the numbers games. Numbers is still being played but it's no where near the scale it was back in the day. People often refer to it as booking the lottery numbrs because a lot of the numbers bankers use the lottery number as their number. But most people stick with the state lottery. Because with those you are guaranteed to get your money. In the street lottery if you hit to big a number often times you won't get paid.
