North Carolina Lottery winner: "$4 million is not much these days"Reply
Funny, Sullenburger16, I was just at the dollar store to buy laundry products and not only were they $1.25 but there was less in each container too. So instead of being $1.25 they were the equivalent of $1.333 per container vs the old $1 size! I guess us greasy deplorables aren't suppose to notice those things... I play certain games for certain prizes vs the odds. Maybe he meant that $3.3 or $4 million wasn't a good payout for beating 30 million to 1 odds?

Quick Picks vs Self Picks, neither has an advantageReply
With odds of winning any prize playing MM at 24 to 1, it costs $48 just to have a reasonable chance of winning something. The odds of winning $10 are over 600 to 1 so it's more likely 48 bucks will get a return of $4 or less. I'll wait until the jackpots are close to the must win level before buy a few tickets.

$630 MILLION: Mega Millions jackpot soars after no winner TuesdayReply
He may be the smartest guy out there and knows exactly what the odds are. Picture this. He has a group of 50 people only spending $2 each. The odds of the group winning the jackpot is around 1 in 6 million. Their cash share of the jackpot can be as much as $7.6 million each. Looks like a smart move to me.

I understand, I study the numbers a lot and it seems to do little good. Hopefully your free tickets do something I have had a lot of them do nothing. I cashed in 15 on Saturday and didn't get one free from them. I will say I have gotten 3 fours numbers on frees, 2 of them on a $555 night but most of the time nothing. Turns 20+ frees into 2-3 frees. The reason you can't get much is the odds are bad, 80-1 to get 3 numbers. If its that high the prize should be near $40 not $10 it is usuall

I haven't been posting much lately in this thread and there's a reason why that's so. I've been waiting for the month of June to roll around, and it's finally here. June is a very good month where you can see some good to know types of things. June is the month of the year that usually tells players which numbers will very likely be the year's hottest numbers and the number groups to focus their number selections on. Although it's early in June, The Singles continue be very strong. They're

Powerball Probability QuestionReply
Hello Speler, How are you doing? I agree your Euromillions 4+0 payout is pretty paltry in relation to Powerball's. However, the odds of Euromillions 4+0 are 1 in 13,000-ish, whereas the odds for Powerball 4+0 are 1 in 36,000. Considering your game's 4+0 is easier to win, the payouts are comparable. I see they also do pari-mutuel prizes like California. Thank you for not posting about Africans and for not bringing Garyo as your plus-one. I know you will feign not getting that joke due to

Do you really thing the games are rigged?Reply
The jackpot games are not rigged in my opinion. Why? The shear number of combinations, ie: the odds. Lotteries don't much care about the small wins. They know that people play for the jackpot prizes. MM odds are over 1 in 302+ MILLION. PB over 1 in 292 MILLION. They don't have to rig the big games, or any game, for that matter. Aside from that, why on earth would a state lottery or MUSL try to cheat, take a chance on getting caught, and killing their money machine? Doesn't make sense. BTW,
