$10M Mega Millions Win!Reply
I'm not but there is a very strong chance that those who believe each additional ticket cuts the odds in half will go broke trying to prove it.

Really? Are you guys that bored that you are rehashing the odds vs chances argument?

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
I hope it's clear that I noted in as much as $20 a play is a lot, given the $1M prize and the 1:100,000 odds, I too would be in the game, at least for one shot. Its not everyday that we have 1:100,000 odds at a $1M prize.

Is there any method or system that can an predict the first digit that will fall in Pick 3Reply
The same is true for MM and PB, each set of played numbers is up against the same odds.

Wrong. 1 in 500 is the probability of winning. 1:499 is the odds of winning. The two are the same. With two tickets in pick 3, the odds do not change from one drawing to the next. It is always 1 in 500.

Craps, the odds bet on pass line/don't pass/come/don't come And, no, I don't expect a casino to provide the players with the odds of winning, only the payouts ... except for live keno. That game operates much like a lottery, but with comps and frequent drawings and a better paytable.

I agree. Two winnings combinations out of 292,201,338 is your odds of winning with two tickets. It is not 2 out of 146,100,669. Did my die throw example make sense? Bet on 2 of the 6 numbers. What are your odds of winning?

What's Your Strategy for Playing a New Draw Game?Reply
With scratchers, I think the rush to buy them comes from the belief that the lotteries front load the first batch with some decent winners because they want people saying Hey, I bought one of those new $30 Gimme Millions scratchers and won $200. I don't know if that's true or not, but it feels like that's what drives early buyers. With the new draw game, they can't front load anything. The odds are fixed and hella steep, so the odds of a big win aren't going to be impacted by early play, IMO

Buying MM or PB lottery ticketsReply
I never buy mm since they raised the price. At $5 for crap odds, I'll pass. I buy pb sometimes. Maybe a couple of tickets per month. The odds are abysmal for pb too. I basically throw a few buck away on a hail mary for pb, but won't reward mm with it because of the price hike.

Buying MM or PB lottery ticketsReply
Have to agree with you on this one Coin Toss. When I lived in New York I used to hop over the border to Pennsylvania and buy PA Millionaire Raffle tickets. They sold a maximum of 500,000 tickets. Because they awarded four million dollar prizes, they advertised odds of 125,000 to 1 to win one million dollars. The first four tickets drawn (they really used an RNG) won one million dollars each. When draw time rolled around after they awarded the first million dollar prize by drawing one ti
