Auditor general finds no fault with Pa. Lottery, but unusual wins remain unexplainedReply
Were any of the frequent winners retailers? The article clearly says there were multiple retailers among them. You're talking on average, 1.3 wins a month over 12 years. That could be one of the reasons it would be suspicious. Lottery prizes may return 50 to 60% of the money spent on tickets, but in most games the majority of the money is paid out as small prizes. That means that for most games you'll get far less than 50 to 60% back as large prizes. Of course the PA lottery kn

I suspect it will be 30 tickets to a roll ($900 per roll). I'm sure the lower tier payouts will look something like this because this would be consistent with the minimum payouts on the $25 and $20 games. $30 1 in 5 $40 1 in 15 $50 1 in 15 $100 1 in 30 Min payout per roll is $410 on a $900 investment. Just my guess. I'd like to see better odds if possible. In case anyone remembers, here were the odds on the last $30 game: $600 Million High Roller Pr

Both Powerball and Mega Millions are over $300,000,000Reply
I haven't done the math, but it feels as if MM has been hit sooner than would be expected over the past couple of years or so. Of course the odds of winning were better than PB, but it seems to have had a hard time producing really big jackpots. Still, now that the odds are steeper than for PB, and especially considering that PB is selling more tickets, probability says that PB is more likely to be hit on any particular drawing. Depending on what the actual jackpots would be, there's perhaps

A call to boycott Mega Millions loto game.Reply
Before you go about crowing GB, you ought to read your original thread.. You said this Do I have stupid written across my forehead? NOT! Lots of other games out there with million dollar jackpots and lower odds of winning. Your post IMPLIES that you not stupid, why? because the other games out there with millions of dollar jackpots lower odds of winning are EASIER at winning. Really? how many times do you expect to Hit it, who do you know has? The operative word is TRY. You are going to try

It looks like all lows, all highs, all evens, or all odds are in play for today. I'd post a list by my letter key matched, making it difficult to determine cipher sum movement, but I'm 99% certain today (mid or eve) will have all highs, all lows, all evens, or all odds). -Edit looks like pair 47 is a good play today, esp for eve. I can generate a list after mid draws. 164 180

@ Adam - You are the chosen one. Winning one jackpot, especially the $10 holiday gifts which was 90%+ sold through with 2/2 jackpots remaining made seemed reasonable since the actual odds were better than the published odds at that point in the game. But, with your $100k win on GRD, and recent $1M win on the World Class Cash game means you are literally the chosen one. Such an incredible story considering there are 15,000 + retailers, millions of tickets, and only a handful of life changing tick

Poll-Are you buying a ticket for 10/31 MegaMil?Reply
Do you play PB where the odds are 1 to 293 million? MM odds are 1 to 303 million. Not that much worse and they justify it by claiming that the lower prizes will be better. Of course, they wont be for Californians. Anyway, when I first began playing regularly back in 2013, I noticed that tho the price was double for PB there were a lot of JP winners. so i started playing PB. There doesnt seem to be as many winners anymore. I may play MM but not as frequently and no more than one line.
