You Can't Lose If You Don't PlayReply
You must be trolling us. A list of 286 combinations with no expiration date, for a drawing held twice a day, proves nothing. It has zero value.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
From what I read, you would have to form the non profit documents before the drawing and if it's claimed by the non profit it would not be taxed. Some states only allow individuals to claim it so the 50% might apply there.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I don't think the jackpot estimate will increase before the drawing. I expect the Labor Day holiday to slow down sales as many people travel. If it rolls tonight then expect a buying frenzy to continue Wednesday.

Games most playedReply
I don't remember the exact date or the number played, but I do remember the first time I won on a Pick3 drawing, 50 years ago as a relatively innocent 18yr old. The feeling of walking out of Danny's News Stand with $500 after wagering a dollar was pure bliss. At the time, $500 was more than I made in a month, so for the moment, I was suddenly wealthy. The hook, as they say, was set.

Lottery Post for the Hobbyist and Serious Lottery PlayerReply
lotterologist, brah, the difference between blackjack and the lottery is that with blackjack the deck is not reshuffled with the dealt cards after after each deal. the state of the deck changes each time the dealer deals a new round, which is something you can keep track of in order to make better decisions. that is the essence of card counting. and the more decks the dealer uses the harder it is to get that small edge. with the lottery the balls are put right back where they started after e

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Lottery sales for the big national games are down. This is probably the main reason the Mega Millions game was recently changed. Even on my worst days I'm not nearly stupid enough to think they wouldn't have tried messing with the game even if sales were still what they were 3 to 5 years ago, but the change was definitely an attempt to increase sales. So far the sales per drawing have been consistently higher than shortly before the change for the jackpots values we've seen, and sales f

Mega Millions Drawing IncreaseReply
i'd guess it's a jackpot (annuity) amount payout that could be supported by the actual sales. since the supported amount is a little lower than the advertised amount, it means the jackpot is a bit underfunded. but the gap between supported and advertised looks to be shrinking with each drawing, so by the time someone wins it will probably be ok.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The Mega Millions jackpot is growing slower than last time because it is being over shadowed by the much larger Powerball jackpot. And/or more of the people who aren't addicted are sitting it out for more general reasons about MM itself. The sales forecast for Friday are up about 5% over the previous Friday, so maybe we'll see another modest increase for Friday 8/1, too. Based on the last couple of increases we'll almost certainly see it advertised as 130 next Tuesday (funded at about 1

Number crunching for mega millionsReply
Proposed Methodology 1. Organize the Results Collect the drawing results in two ways: o Original drawing order o Ascending order of drawn numbers For analysis, always use the results in ascending order. 2. Analyze Position by Position Considering that each drawing has, for example, 6 numbers (positions 1 to 6 in ascending order), Analyze each position separately to detect patterns, cycles, and frequencies. For example, check how often the number 60 appears in the 6th posi
