Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Sweeet Hits, Ed! Hey, that GO symbol is always a classic! I don't think we've seen any good wins from the new game Super Millions. Have we????? Hmmm, I wonder if it's because they jacked the odds up so badly!?!?!?!? Two Nuggets, a LFL $500, a Monopoly GO symbol.... Gee, and all those have better odds than the new game. Whatta ya know!

How many 50/50 coin flips of HEADs in a row can midday do ? Well......its been 7 in a row now. I'm going withMostly/ to all OUT digits today 0'1'2'8'9......just don't think 8 HEADS in a row will work for today. Mostly OUTs are the smart ODDS play for Wednesday...... sure it can happen but......we can keep fighting the odds and play win long term.

Powerball Power Play Number Almost Always 2 ?Reply
OK ... so there are more 2s and 3s knocking a person's chance that the extra dollar will probably be a smaller hit ... so the odds say. I rarely play the extra dollar so I never gave it much thought that there are more 2s and 3s in the mix and that my hoping for a 4 or 5 was slim to none or just slimmer. I didn't see that information anywhere that you posted on the odds of the five numbers ... thanks for posting and also posting about the Mega Millions. So each of us can figure if the extra d

@Ineedahit this was a terrific post. just to add one point understand that playing the lotery is the house holds the edge. A $1 straight bet pays $500 on a 1000 to 1 odds. As players, we give up 50% of the odds to the house. In order to stay ahead in a game like this one must hit multiple times on straight hits. A progressive system is what I found is best. A progressive system is adding extra plays on a number to hit multiple times. This is why triples are so popular for many players. If you ca

Guys, let me get your input on buying a whole roll of the new 500 frenzy that is going to be coming out. The book will cost 500, having 50 tickets. Odds of hitting 500 are 1 in a little less than 700.. Well..Although the odds aren't in our favor (ever..haha) I think I will definitely try my luck with a pack. Let me know what you guys think and I'll definitely post my results within the next week or so. Cheers!

Hitting the very next double System// by using ODDSReply
Wow....... that's interesting. Easier ? Gosh... 10,000 numbers. Usually they say the more numbers the worse the odds.......but you say they are indeed easier? You must have already had a really good understanding and success with those Pick 4 doubles to think of them as easy. Impressive for sure. So anyway..... glad I could answer your question about your P-4 doubles having different Odds and being so different than P-3.

Why does the Mega Millions Jackpot not start at $40 mil?Reply
For a JP with these odds? Of course its an insult in my opinion, and opinions are like noses, everyone has one. PB is $2.00 with a better starting JP, so why can't MM raise their's? They may say it only cost a buck..but once again take a look at the odds compared to that of PB...hope you get my drift. Peace.

I would consider Ticket to $100 to be low tier since the odds are 1 in less than a thousand The CA Lottery I think considers $200 - $5000 to be mid tier and anything over $5000 to be upper tier I once got 4 $50 winners from a set of 10 tickets, but to win $1000 at 1 in 40k odds on the same book is flat out incredible. The guy did post pictures of both tickets, but the 2nd one got cut off in in terms of the ticket code. That is 500 books for ONE $1000 prize on average.

Probably the best odds ever to win $500 when taken into account the ticket cost ratio. I know there was a Hot $500 $2 game three years ago, but I think it was 1 in over 2400. Best chance is the $20 ticket at 1 in 420, but you can buy 4 of these frenzy tickets. The odds of a winning ticket (1 in 4.43) is quite high for $5 game, but the best part of $500, no taxes need to be reported.
