Odds of winning.Reply
When I take you by math and word, it is 500:-1, not 500:1, as 1 is gone. Your odds would be 1:999 and it pays 500:-1 or do you prefer 499:1 as 499 is the net payout and according to the article and logic you must substract the negative value (500-1=499). And above, you don't win, you loose if you don't beat the odds double or better. What some players did, is history, past tense. Some players may always win by pure luck without reasoning or system.

Ohio Classic Lotto (6/49) at $16.6M/$8.3M cashReply
I too noticed none of the numbers in last night drawing had hit in the previous seven drawings which when you consider all the numbers in the previous drawing had hit in the previous seven drawings just shows how random the numbers can be. I however will continue to stick what has been most successful before. While OCL has great odds for winning a jackpot, the odds of winning a lower prize aren't that great and when they are won the prizes aren't that great. Most 6/49 games pay more than $150

Can math and logic improve chances of winning a jackpot?Reply
I like it ! I like your odds a lot ....especially on those ALL Even days that happen just a few times a year. However, on those days .... you are going to be closer to the win than almost everyone. It is a plan to better the odds that's for sure. Years ago we played around with the ALL ODD/EVEN plays and it seemed like a great strategy. Rjoh was in on that topic at the time. Perhaps he can remember more about it. If I was ever tempted to join a lottery pool ....that would be a good one.

Do lottery wheels really help?Reply
Except for really crappy games, odds and prizes go hand in hand. Odds go up, prizes go up too. Your local 6/45 game would be appreciated by many here. My Florida game is 6/53 more then twice as hard to win as your game, abet with better prizes, but what good are prizes you aren't likely to win? When you win your game, you can afford to enjoy playing larger games. BobP

Thanks for the responses guys. An off topic question. What are some lotteries with better odds than powerball euromillions that can be played by anyone in the world? I've seen the Irish lotto and it's very attractive to play because of great prizes and way better odds. Unfortunately, it can only be played by Irish residents. Also, are there any legit websites to play the big lotteries online?

Can math and logic improve chances of winning a jackpot?Reply
That info is available on the TLC website. BTW, thru the short history of the game so far, there have been 29 jackpot winners. When the game was introduced, they touted the overall odds of 4.5 to 1. They even stated the overall odds were as good as scratch offs. When you compare that with the jackpot amount to scratchoffs, $2 bucks isn't bad. We have scratchoffs in Tx that cost $50. A $2 scratchoff typically has a top prize of about $20000. At any rate, it's a fun game to play. I played it qu

Realistically what kinds of odds can one expect in a game where a dollar or two will buy you a chance to win up to a half billion dollars? Lottery players don't even need much of a mathematical background to find the game odds on a state lottery website or or on the back of a play slip to understand winning a jackpot is very difficult at best. The next question should be knowing that why do so many people try to win and the answers is obvious; there is 1 behind the eight or nine digit numbe

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
That's crazy. I would play one to say I played it, but that's about it. If the odds aren't 1:2.5 at worse, there is no way I would touch it. Like the $50/$100 per credit slot machines. No way. I will stick to the quarter and occasional $1 machine for a full tries. I see the odds are 1:2.4 and a guarantee of $380 back per roll at $1000 rolls. Doesn't a roll guarantee shoot the random claim down? If the lottery was random, then in theory you could get a pack of 20 losers.
