cash vs. annuityReply
Here's my take on the annuity vs lump sum thing. For me it would depend on the jackpot. If I won a small jackpot like the Lottosouth for like 5 mill. I'd take the lump sum. It would end up being about 2.5 mill and then when taxes are taken out it would end up being a check for about 1.65 mill give or take a few hundred thousand. I would then take that money and hand the vast majority of it over to a financial planner to try and be sure that it would last my entire life. Now if I won one of those

Has Anyone Heard of This System??Reply
I too received an invitation for Steve Players GEO Matrix System for the Ohio Rolling Cash 5 but, it stated the regular price for the Pick 5/ GEO Matrix system is $1,495.00. This special half price offer requires that you inform us of any First Prize Jackpots that you win and allow us to use your name in our future promotions. This special invitation offer is open to Ohio 5/39 Rolling Cash-5 players only. At first I thought he was singling Ohio out but, now from what I see I am very g

a new 3-digit workout for all statesReply
Hello,New member here, just signed up today. I have been lurking this site for about 2 months now and last night ran across destinys theory. I live in Wisconsin, from what I read this a computerized state, ( I dont get the arguments against the computerized draws, I would think that it would be more possible to break a computerized RNG then the randomnization of ping pong balls, seen a show on Discovery channel not to long ago where a guy actually did just that on a casino Keno game, of cours

Powerball wants your opinion.Reply
I am also lukewarm to the idea. I am just curious to see if this Blue Game is started, if Powerball will be able to maintain the minimum $5 Million dollar increase per drawing. Creating a new game may hurt Powerball sales and sales may not justify the increase in the next drawing. On the other hand, people may not be able to justify spending $2 on the Blue Game when the jackpot is really low and will stick with Powerball. It will be interesting to see what people will do when the Blue Game

Cincinnati Reds formed Mega Millions lottery poolReply
Let me just clarify my statement without getting into another UNNECESSARY debate.Knowing that GOD loves us all naturally he would desire that we WIN at everything we do whether it's winning the Lottery playing in a Tournament,Casino Games,Bingo,Sports,ContestsTV Game Show etc.....now having said that let me continue by saying GOD does not CONTROL or DECIDE who wins Lottery games or any other form of games of chance because that would be showing favortism especially when someone wins that's

Hi Ohio! I'm your new Lottery Director.Reply
Nice discussion, JimmySand9. I've played a lot of state lotteries and Super Lotto Plus was surprisingly one of my favorites (due to the large jackpots). I'm a 6/49 guy, so I tend to favor these kind of games.I've put some thought into the rule that you only get a free ticket with 3 out of 6, and my feelings are that it may be the best decision. Obviously I would like to get some money when matching 3 (like you do with Lotto South), but the problem is that it would come at the expense of the j

Reducing filtered combinations helpReply
This is an interesting idea.I think RJOH's suggestion is an economy partial filter, which would not fit with your original idea.BobP has a very good point here. Extending his way of thinking, I think any idea you are seeking to find here will be another filter that add to your system. The more filters you add, the higher chance that a jackpot will hit one of your filters.I think you'v got to varify BobP's point before you go any further. Take Canada 6/49 history and see how many jackpots do you

Numbers and draw date magnetismReply
Jack, Whew, another great thread, man! Thank you! Loving your quilts . Hey, am I seeing what you're seeing ...... numbers and derivatives of numbers hitting in correlation with date numbers? For instance, I keep noticing 9's and 11's and 1's popping up together. I wonder if our terrorist attack influenced those numbers, or was that date carrying it's own magnetism prior to that? And I see even numbers on even days, such as 2's and 4's, and then 24's and such ........This relationship thing

Mass. lottery winners cash in on new prize lawReply
Man, this is slimy, even for Massachusetts. Instead of just giving the winners the money they WON, money that is sitting in STATE controlled accounts, they let them deal with shady private buyout companies to get THEIR MONEY. >Some lottery winners say it's not fair that they have to pay a private company hundreds of thousands of dollars to gain immediate access to their own prizes.No, it is not fair. But welcome to Chinatown, I mean Massachusetts.>Lottery officials say they don't offer win
