LOTTERY POST 25TH ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY #2Reply

Next, I would seek out financial expertise and arrange the following: .gifts to my immediate family members ...siblings and children and grands .increase/establish life insurance policies for the aforementioned .make a donation to various community organizations ... Church/Scholarships/Make A Wish/etc. .pay it forward to select multiple LP members t

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
While there are games that cost more than $5..... $10 scratchers, $20 scratchers, $50 scratchers, $20 raffle tickets, etc., the difference is that in those games, you have a vastly higher chance of winning a large amount of money. The problem with the new $5 MM is that they didn't change much of anything. It includes the multiplier for lower prizes (instead of giving you a choice to pay the extra $1). They included a 10X possibility but re-arranged the other multiplier odds to give you preci

Lucky For Life to Millionaire For Life - $5 TicketReply
For me ... I play lucky 4 life maybe twice a week (like it was mon Thur originally) when pb and or mm are below the 250 million threshold for me to jump into those games . Now with the merged millionaire 4 life and the three dollar increase in price .... I'll still play but only once per week. I look forward to the new game but I'm not going gaga over it. What will the matrix look like? Will it still be a twenty year annuity? Will there be a cash option? All questions to

Lottery Numbers Aren't Meant To Be RandomReply
the fact they pre-test in this manner is proof the numbers aren't random. I'd agree, except that we aren't both idiots. Those pre-tests are precisely because the process is random and they're checking to make sure that nothing suggest a problem that interferes with that expected randomness. That you don't understand why they do it doesn't change the reasons for doing it. I'm sure I can see a pattern in your movement from bed to toilet in stunning accuracy due to the fact you are in a co

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
The supported jackpot is $69.7 million whereas in the previous run, the supported jackpot was $66.9 million. And the cash value is now 41.9 vs 39.9. The annuity value is 4.19% higher than in the previous run, but cash value, which is a direct measurement of sales is 4.77% higher. That may be an indication that as players buy in when the jackpot gets bigger the $5 price becomes something they're okay with at lower jackpot levels, too. Or it might just be because very high jackpots tend t

Does Lottery Software work?Reply
I voted It has helped me win but I've never won a jackpot using it. I base that on the frequency that I have won small prizes using it than my lottery playing friends do that don't have and use it. When people ask me if I think it works, I always say You'll probably see an increase in the number of small prizes that you win, but you're still going to need a lot of luck along with using software to win a jackpot. I learned a lot about the behavior of the numbers in two states Pick5 games

classic questions on lottery forumsReply
Studying past draws is a waste of time. Each drawing is an independent random event. The only way to increase the probability of winning is to buy more tickets. It is true that each drawing is an independent random event. Since I mostly play the pick 3, it is also independent by position. Also, more tickets is the only way to change the odds. But I am frugal so I would rather pick 1 combo than 10 or more, as the draw will still be from 1,000 combinations regardless of how many would be

Mega Millions Drawing IncreaseReply
Here you go Elmer Fudd..... portion of Mega Millions ticket sales revenue does go to the states that participate in the lottery. Here's how it generally works Mega Millions and Powerball: For these large, multi-state lotteries, 50% of the sales revenue goes into the prize pool to fund winnings. States' Share: The remaining 50% is allocated to participating states. A Mega Millions spokesperson told ABC News that this remaining 50% covers retailers' commissions, vendor fees, lottery admin

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Powerball's increase of $8.8 Million is pretty consistent with a Monday drawing. We like Powerball's transparency with Jackpot changes. Below we can see the change in Annuity, Cash and the Sales values all move fairly well with each other. Powerball doesn't give a false perception of Jackpot growth. Mega Millions, however, we can see the disconnect of the Annuity changes relative to the changes in Cash and the Sales for each drawing at the beginning of a Jackpot Run.

What would have sales been, had the ticket prices remained at $2 over the last 11 1/2 months ? Would there have been more/less than 6 jackpot winners since the restart at $50 million ? Would the jackpots have reached $1 Billion + just one time at the $2 price, instead of taking 40 draws to reach $980 Million(7/01 - 11/14/25) ?
