Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
I think I beg to differ on why MM is falling behind. I wouldn't call it bad luck some fellow just happened to match all the numbers and they got super lucky and win the jackpot. The intention of these games is for someone to win. I don't think it's upon them to decided as to when someone can win. If their is only a 1% for someone to win and it's won, it's good news to the winner and I think it's not necessarily bad news to the Lottery. Will your pool take a break or will you shif

Is there any method or system that can an predict the first digit that will fall in Pick 3Reply
Lottery odds are based on possible combinations. Lottery Oddz are based on probable numberz, ..while the complete Matrix pool are possible ,, they are NOT All probable , at the same timez... Picking only correct probable numberz, will ultimately render the correct combinationz needed to win a jackpot... providing you uze a superior wheeling system..ie Bluskov ..

Buying MM or PB lottery ticketsReply
When 4 tickets in a pool of 500,000 are chosen at random to be a winner, the probability that a single ticket wins is 1 in 125,000 (I'm assuming they exclude a winning ticket from being able to win again, i.e. they do random draws without replacement). It's a straightforward 4/500000, which reduces to 1/125000 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4. After they draw the first winner, the probability of a single ticket that didn't win on the first draw turning into a winner is 3 in

Have you ever playedReply
No, I have never and would not consider that. I don't want to try my limits just kidding. Nway, I really would not consider that. If someone gifted me a ticket, that is on them, am not giving any ticket to anyone, neither am I playing as part of a pool. And that does not mean am selfish either.

Answer Me This...Reply
I realize that from a Florida Fantasy5 players perspective going to two draws per day flat out stinks, and that me posting all of the hidden benefits for the Florida Lottery doesn't make it any better for players. However there is one more thing I'd like to say and then I'll stop my long winded rants. I think in 2020 (not sure if that's the correct year or not, but if it's not 2020 then it's close to 2020) The New York Lottery implemented two drawings per day for their Pick5 game, Take5. Tak

Just like you, I'm sure many players would think they'd make more money from extra ticket sales, but to answer your question requires me to ask you a question. That question is - WHAT extra ticket sales? Today's Florida Fantasy5 jackpots are way down. The winners prize pool contains 62% of all ticket sales for the sales period of the upcoming drawing. Single winner jackpots are now approximately $110,000 when prior to going to two draws per day they were approximately $200,000. 62% of $

Wow, good luck with the x10. Just the x10 puts so much pressure to match even the mega ball. That how I felt when I had a x5, I can only imagine having a x10. Since it happens so rarely, I feel that one should get a free pass and match the mega ball Good luck to the pool. I got a x3 for my ticket, fingers crossed

Thank you for that explanation, KY Floyd. It would be nice if calottery.com explained this. They don't. Here's what they have to say about it in fine print: In California, POWERBALL prize amounts are pari-mutuel, will vary depending on ticket sales and number of winners and will differ from the fixed prizes shown on the POWERBALL website. Prize amounts will vary ... really! The only thing I could figure was that there was a prize pool for non-jackpot prizes that got distributed to

Oh well, my plan at a perfect race did not work out. I am glad that your pool can dip its toes into the water now. Did not match any number on the draw yesterday. I got my MM ticket for Tuesday. Hoping for the best

Hurray!! Happy for the pool. I matched PB #23 and won $4. I have a friend that bought 38 lines for the Saturday draw, they won $4. They had done a mix of RNG, Own Numbers and QPs This thing is pure luck. Hoping to win big tonight
