Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
California prizes are hard to figure out. I know that one won a lot less than normal because the state sold only about 1 million tickets, and the odds of a second place win is 1 in 11 million. 1/11th of $1 million is half of what was actually awarded, and I think that is because the 3rd place prize of $50,000 had no winners, so the prize pool for that one was given to the 2nd place prize. Had one person won the $1 million prize and one person won the $50,000 prize, they each would have gotte

LOTTERY POST 25TH ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY #4Reply
That would be Lucky for Life. It has better odds and the grand prize of $1,000 for life with 20 years guarantee even when you die seems solid. It also draws every day, so always something to look forward to. Sorry PB and MM

Get your terms right. The probability of a three digit number hitting straight is a constant. It's voodoo math that implies the odds keep changing.

Would a pick 6 be viable?
I wonder if they set up six machines with 0 to 9 in each if that would be a popular game... given the lottery commissions paying out about 50% of the odds, that would be a 1,000,000 to 1 $500,000 payday... Would you play a game like that? Wonder how much they would charge for a ticket... $2 per would be fair, not too sure above that.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Exactly! No one would be upset about winning millions of dollars whether its 1 million or 800 million. The point I'm making is they more than doubled the price saying it would be bigger faster jackpots and so far that just isn't the case at all. It's interesting since the odds haven't changed that much but they are selling half as many tickets.

Numerous State Lottery holdoutsReply
I think one person hit cash ball in three years, . Cash ball should not be so impossible to hit considering other states have similar drawings with winners about once a week. When comparing games, you should have all the necessary (true) facts at hand before making such statements. Ticket sales. odds, and number of winners are all relevant. In 2024, KY Cash Ball Ticket sales were $10,636,000 Avg tickets sold each day is 29,140 Jackpot odds are 1,309,000 On average, you'd

Knowing the Unknowable Future NumberReply
I figured might as well do the All Odds. Hard to believe you only had to go back 17 years to find them. You'd think it would have been much more recent, what with all the rigging and non-random results. I don't suppose you might have found any hints in all of the years and all of the drawings without results that you thought you should share with us?

We find it interesting that back in 2020 Powerball went from a $40 Million starting jackpot to a $20 Million starting jackpot, but yet, seems to be doing pretty well building up to that Billion Dollar prize with a $2.00 a Line Play and the Optional Added $1.00 Power Play .

THE ARCHETYPAL BASIC OF CHANCE IN LOTTERIESReply
hello= The prospect of applying the duality of the universe, order and chaos, to the context of lotteries, seeking a positive bias (order) through Suan-Chou and I Ching, is fascinating. However, it is crucial to approach this idea with a clear understanding of its fundamental limitations. The Reality of Lotteries and Probabilities First, it is essential to understand that lotteries are games of chance based purely and simply on mathematical probability. Each drawing is an independent
