Default Are pushtabs a statewide phenomenon?

I've been reading a bit about them, but everything has been very general. What sorts of prizes can be won & how much do they cost?

I think he means pulltabs. Those game pieces you can buy at events. We use to sell them at our firehall during raffles we had.

Yep, it's pulltabs, Bark. And they're pretty popular, I guess. The prizes are cash. People belly up to the bar, buy a pile of them, tear off the tabs, and trade the winners in for more. Just your run-of-the-mill gambling. Boring, in my opinion, but lots of people do it.

Actually I was wondering if the drink called The Panty Dropper at the Hill Bar in Craig is the same as what's referred to as a Lemon Drop down here.

You don't even want to know what some of the various drinks have been named. Besides, the mods would cut them. The mildest one I can think of is a Lighthouse, a double shot of tequila and kahlua with a 151 float, and flaming.

As for pulltabs, they're all over WA too. I do know someone who won 1 million - he said it was a great way to figure out who his real friends were, they were the ones who didn't hit him up for a handout.
