would you rather win 1, 10, 50, 100, or 500 million $Reply
In Las Vegas every time a 'knowledge' player would approach a table with a note book and a pencil would approach a table old time bosses would say, Oh here we go, another genius from Providence . You sound like one. While one player on a crap table is winning a lot betting on the hard ways and horn bets they'll be another one on the table telling other players what bad bets the prop player is making. So much for a math degree with an emphasis on probabilities. Your thinking that four shooters on

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
Each ticket is up against the same odds. Take your theory to PB and MM level. Consider that for every drawing those who play do not realize they are all part of one humongous pool. We'll use odds of 300,000,000 to malt it easier. So if the first ticket is up against 300M and the next ticket is up against 150M, etc. somebody will have twin. Oh, wait, many drawings go by with no jackpot winners. Gee, how can that be because Tucker Black said..................,Go to the Florida lottery website and

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
There is only one set of winning numbers drawn and each set played is an attempt to match that set. Suppose you only bought one ticket but they drew two sets of numbers? What would that do to the odds? I didn't say each additional ticket cuts the odds in half. That's another part of his inability to understand 3rd grade fractions. He seems to think that we're saying that 2/100ths is twice as much as 1/100th (and might even understand that much) but also thinks that we're saying 2 x

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
I know Lotto Motto can appreciate what I'm about to write because he/she is located in Miami. I mostly play Florida Fantasy5 due to it's 376,992 to 1 odds. Fantasy5's jackpots aren't exactly life changing. Midday draws pay out roughly $45,000 before taxes to a single winner. The Evening Fantasy5 draw pays approximately $100,000 to a single jackpot winner. (Again, before taxes) If all Raffle tickets in their respective range are sold, the odds of winning are 1 in 100,000. If fewer Raffle

New play methodologyReply
I can see that you developed an obsession about my WOM (Wheels Only Methodology) results. So, in order to alleviate your anxiety I provide you with the latest results for July. I do not intend to put winning wheels in public domain so, instead of winning tickets, I will present only the actual payouts. There were 9 draws in July, 7 had winners of different levels, for the success ratio of 77.78%. Below are the payouts in sequence: Jul 2 https://imgur.com/a/q3Tlowy Jul 5

is it luckier to buy tickets on the rich side of town?Reply
Not where you buy, but what game you buy. The worse the odds, the worse your chances to win. The better the odds, the better your chance to win.

Mega Millions and Powerball RaceReply
Because it's Good Friday, I will try my luck and see how it goes. I will get one $5 Millionaire For Life ticket. Am ok with winning $18M from a 22M odds than winning $90M with over 300M odds. 2nd price of $2.2M with 5M odds is better than $2M for MM with odds over $10M Good luck to all

The PA raffle logic is based on the number of tickets sold, so if there is a sellout, the odds are correctly stated as 125,000 to 1. (500,000 tickets, 4 top prizes) Now, if there are less tickets sold, only sold numbers go into the raffle... if only half sell, then the possible outcomes are reduced... to 62,500 to 1 (odds) (250,000 tickets, 4 top prizes) They put these tickets that win the weekly $50,000 back in for the big prize drawing, but actually you are correct, the possible outcom

$10M Mega Millions Win!Reply
That does not work. The lottery odds are based on possible combinations. One set of numbers means you have covered one combination out of 292.2 million. A second set of numbers ( two tickets with one set of numbers each) each set being up against the same 292.2 million odds. There is NO WAY an additional ticket magically eliminates over half of the rest of the combinations. Were done, bye.
