Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
The odds with two tickets are 2 in 292 million. The odds are not cut in half with 2 tickets.

Maryland's Multi Match odds are variable
When Mega Millions jumped to $5 per ticket, I decided to occasionally buy Multi Match tickets, along with occasional Power Ball with double play. Recently I bought two different tickets, and I started looking closer at what I could win. Any one line and win a prize on its own and the odds stay the same. But the second tier of prizes based on all three lines are troubling. The top prize for getting 10 out of the 18 numbers (three lines of 6 numbers each) is often impossible to win on your ti

Knowing the Unknowable Future NumberReply
When all four digits are even for two drawings, there are only five digits they could be I don't know how hard he worked to cherry pick those particular results, but it doesn't matter that they happen to be all even. The odds of any particular drawing being all even (or odd) digits is only 1 in 625 instead of the 1 in 10,000 chance when selecting from all 10 digits, but once you choose any specific 4 digit result the chances of a result with those same 4 digits isn't affected by which 4 dig

1) In what alternative universe do you live where 1,221,759 divided by 5 is 38,719? It's the alternate universe where your odds are inversely proportional to (the number of tickets you bought) ^2. When you say each time you double the number of tickets you buy you cut the odds in half he somehow hears each time you buy another ticket you cut the odds in half. I've cut ther odds of 1,221,759 down to 38,719 so surely I can expect to win somethnig tonight, no? I guess that in that un

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
I would be shocked if a casino sold books about gambling with any truth in them. They need people to make bad bets. I didn't say each additional ticket cuts the odds in half. I said the odds of you winning is (odds of one ticket winning) divided by (number of tickets). Use my pick 2 example. What are the odds of me winning if I buy 2 tickets? How about 5 tickets?
