Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
The problem is that the $70 million has a 1 in 300 million chance of winning. Clearly a lot of people don't care about the odds of winning, or this game would be selling zero tickets. A 1 in 300 million chance of winning $35 million (the real prize, not the fake $70M) is worth about 15 cents. But these tickets don't cost 15 cents. They cost $5. That is outrageous.

Strategy for picking your numbersReply
When I play PowerBall, I play five lines. (Ticket costs $10) I let let the terminal do 5 Quick Picks for the first 5 numbers on each line, but I manually select the top 5 hitting PowerBalls for all time. (October 7th of 2015 through December 8th of 2025) The top five hitting PB's for all time are ranked in this order- 4, 21, 24, 18 5. Sometimes it works and I win a few bucks. ($4) A lot of times it doesn't work and I win nothing. If I match the PB on any one of my five lines and I

Learning disability and the lotteryReply
Do You play ALC drawings online or just at a lottery retailer in person ? Forget Atlantic49 or 6/49 for now.Those odds are astronomical Maybe try Keno with 3 or 4 number plays to start. 3 numbers pays $25/4 numbers will pay $75.(Here in Ontario 4# pays $100) Those have the best odds of hitting.If you do get a hit, then re-invest into more of the same plays until you build up a bit of winnings to try 5 or 6 number plays. That's where I would start. Good luck in

sums de patternsReply
Well, all the best to you, sir. I would be miserable if my system/filter is churning out a possible 300 to 400 combos to guess which one is a winner. As a serious lottery player, Id question my life and existence with odds like that.

Seems like what they are counting on is that when the frenzy point begins, the masses that don't usually play day in day out won't care if they're wagering $2 or $5 because the jackpot is enormous. Others here have said they don't usually play or stopped because of the $5 issue but they'll start again when the lump sum amount reaches a certain threshold. It's the same equation just on a larger scale. If jackpot X, then $5=OK to risk. The whole idea behind the MM changes are due to the lotto over

What $5 jackpot draw game would you play?Reply
I would play one that was a decent mix of a scratch off and mega millions in terms of odds. Decent chance at a $10, $50, $100 prizes and then maybe a $1 million prize and the jackpot. I dont mind the $5 price tag but having almost zero chance of winning your money back is really disheartening at that price tag. If it was like 1 in 9 or better I would consider it a lot more.

You Can't Lose If You Don't PlayReply
I have the skills to use probability theory to calculate the odds of anything. I know, that pales in comparison to your ability to imagine that you've shut down two games.

Perhaps the Measly Millions jackpot will get more traction at the Half Billion mark ??? ...........Course, how long will it take to get to that point ?? 5 more draws ?? 6?? I was curious on previous draws, so I went back into the history books and I couldn't seem find a spot where the increases after 20 + rollovers triggered a 10 - 20% reduction on the next draw. Interesting tactics MUSL but I am failing to follow that logic of how that works out. After all, you did state in your press rele

If I could only play one right now it would probably Keno. The odds of hitting any prize there are pretty good.

AMEN Ranett !!!! Last time I purchased a ticket was 12/26/24 for the big jackpot the next day. Nowadays buying a ticket for the Measly Millions is so distant. Kind of like an old friend/associate that you talk about but don't keep in touch with any more. I still would like to see them start a new $1 game with the odds around 1/305M for the jackpot. Give the folks that $1 or $2 or $5 option in playing.
