One of these days, someone is going to win Super Six jackpotNews Story
It's been more than nine months since the last time anyone won the Pennsylvania Lottery's Super Six jackpot.This may well be the most elusive jackpot of all time.The last Super Six jackpot, won on Nov. 8, 2002, has been followed by 81 straight rollovers and now stands at $27.5 million. In the world of lottery jackpots, 20 rollovers is a long run. Eighty-one rollovers is astounding.Not that there isn't a perfectly reasonable mathematical explanation.It boils down to the fact that fewer people buy

Dropping cash values?Reply
I know that. But the point is that the opposite is happenning, while the rates are getting closer to 0. :)So the exact opposite of what you said is happenning.. which is why I wrote my original post in the first place.Taking annuity or cash over one another is a personal choice. I will always choose cash. I don't care what someone else will do. What I do care about is what I wrote in my original post.. it troubles me that they would advertise a higher annuity jackpot for the sole purpose of high

Won $15 on 6/6,and I'm really proud of it
...and I'll tell you why.I have been studying the numbers and doing a lot of pencil and paper work in addition to analysing the LottoPro charts.On 6/6 I was a little deflated as somebody had won the $216,327 jackpot the night before, and the pot was back down to a mere $50,000. I had invested $20 chasing the jackpot.I was also in a pissy mood because I had some disappointing news that day.Anyway, I decided to play just $5 worth and not to study that much over it, I just more or less picked my nu

Do lottery systems really work?Reply
Let me add something else too....There is no thing that is random...Only a PROCESS can be random...it is true, that the lottery DRAWING is a random process. A process can only be called random if it can be repeated with different outcomes. Each week, the results are different. In this sense the lottery drawing is a random process. The results of the random process are governed by the laws of probability. A set six numbers drawn from 1-53 can be possible but not probable, i.e. the set 1-2-

Mega Millions getting boringReply
Quote: Originally posted by CASH Only on May 18, 2003 Konane: MM is run jointly by the 10 states that offer the game, so, the Georgia lottery director is hardly to blame.The NY Lottery had much more to do with the change from Big Game to MM, since NY (and Ohio) were added when MM began. NY's large population base was the biggest factor in the longer odds of MM vs Big Game. Fully understand that. Big Game was BEGUN and drawn in Illinois, then the headquarters of it transferred later to GA under
