Hi I Am New To Cash 5 With Perplexing.Reply
That does not give us our final odds to one. So if I buy 1000 tickets it goes to I think 2750 to one in final odds. Stuart

Hi I Am New To Cash 5 With Perplexing.Reply
This is simple math. If you have 10 balls, numbered 1 to 10 and you're to randomly pick one, the odds of you picking ball number 3 are 1/10 or a 10% chance that you're correct. It's the same with lottery. If you buy 100 tickets of a game that has 1:275,000 odds then you just bought 100/275,000*100= 0.03636364% of the available combinations. NOT GOOD. Good luck

Lucky for Life multi-state lottery game set to expand next weekReply
Odds for SECOND prize in MM is 1 in 18,492,204. He didn't say that Win for Life had a multiplier. Just making comparisons between games as far odds and the chance of splitting a prize in case of multiple winners. I like MM because it's still a buck a tic, and if I want to spend 2 bucks, it's my decision, I'm not having to spend 2 bucks on one tic with no upgrade in prize money. This game will do ok, it already has a following, but man, nobody seems to realize that the price has doubled

Powerball is kicking it up-10 millionaires were made tonight!!.Reply
I think both multi-state games are interested in pushing the envelope I'm pretty sure the only thing they're interested in is maximizing their profit, and they figured out along time go that really big jackpots sell a hell of a lot of tickets. They have to know that raising the odds that high is going to reduce the number of tickets they sell for modest jackpots, but they're hoping to make up for it with the unusually big jackpots. Considering that the current version is the one they dia

Pick 3 Divergent SystemReply
This looks really interesting but I am lost. 251. I see 2 odds and 1 even. Why do you pick divergent number between 1-5 versus 2-5? I was working with 343 for Florida and somehow came up with 242, 244. I think that may have been from workout from original post. It was late. Can you please clarify for me on the 251? And, if there are 2 evens and 1 odd do you look for 2 odds and then 1 even for play? I need my coffee! Thanks!

Player sues Oregon Lottery, charging video poker game riggedReply
Agreed, it's not the lottery's responsibility to teach one how to play, but it is the lottery's responsibility to clearly disclose the limitations of the auto-hold feature, and detailing what the difference really is verses ideal, theoretical play. Every state lottery website gives the odds against matching every prize on their jackpot games, but to my knowledge none of them give the odds of winning nothing. Where it written that state lotteries, retailers, and clerks have a responsibility

Player sues Oregon Lottery, charging video poker game riggedReply
In my view, it's a legitimate lawsuit. A fraction of a percent would be one thing, but 3% is a meaningful difference and definitely adds a nice chunk to the lottery's take. Many players would assume auto-hold recommendations are the best, ideal play. I've noticed at casinos that some hold recommendations, while within strategy, may not be ideal. For example, holding a mixed suit of face cards, while likely a good strategy, takes the odds of getting royal flush to zero. I've hit numerous royal fl

Spain's El Niño lottery spreads $663M in winningsReply
What I wish would be included in the articles is the odds of winning that top prize. It gives a reader some perspective. I dug up some info. 100,000 tickets are printed at 200 each (each ticket can be sold as 10 decimas). Most players choose to buy single decimas so they pay 20. I think the PA Millionaire raffle is better when comparing top prizes odds.

CA Lottery - California Love - CA Lottery ScratchersReply
I'm not sure your looking at it quite rite. For simplicities sake, were only going to look at the 7th column over, not the very last column. The $1 lucky for life ticket has a 1 in 6,000,000 chance to win $650,000.00.... basically if you invest 6 million dollars you should find one top prize winning ticket. This is a net loss of $5,350,000 for the expected odds to hit a top prize ticket. If we look at the $20 ticket, the top prize of 5 million dollars has expected odds
