Asked ChatGPT How To Win the LotteryReply
I suppose with the pool idea. I mean we've all heard of pool winners time and time again from the past. But, and but but but, you only need one ticket to win. Buying 2 will not change any of the odds. The odds are the same for each ticket. The jackpot games specifically, do you really think there are that many winners each jackpot game? No, there are not. Maybe at the $2 or $7 prize level, but not at the millionaire level. That's why the jackpots increase by millions, by millions of dollars each

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Hey BuyLow, good to hear from you and hope all is well. I think your observation on the below raises great questions with respect to vendor and player activity. I've chatted with some of my local trusted Lotto agents for years ago so might now have a better understanding of how the above might happen. First, many people will scratch numerous tickets, and it's clear that through the years there's been major wins mistakenly discarded. The store proprietors (or trusted relative) will colle

There doesn't seem to be a huge frenzy for the 1.1 Billion Megamillions prize. :/Reply
Maybe the 2 billion PB drawing in Nov has something to do with it. During the first 15 drawings of the current MM run only two drawings had sales of more than 15 million tickets, and those two were a hair less than 15.1 million tickets. No idea how many people played more than 1 ticket, but for each of those drawings at most 15.1 million people bought a ticket and at least 243 million adults didn't buy a ticket. I expect that those 243 million adults account for a very significant portion w

$940 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot ready to make another billionaireReply
Do you really think they revised their sales estimate to sell about about another $4 million worth of tickets and it's just a wild coincidence that the new annuity factor resulted in an annuity amount that's exactly what they advertised from the start? The same thing has happened several times recently. They make a sales forecast, advertise a cash value and an annuity based on the cash value and annuity factor, and then a bit later they post a different annuity factor with a new cash value t

Florida Fantasy-5 PlayersReply
Something else with regard to jackpots being won..... FF5 players in Florida are pretty smart. They like to play the same set of five numbers more than once. In the first quarter of 2022 some smart player in Largo played the same line twice on the same day. If there are other jackpot winners besides you, then they pay the price for you being so clever. What playing the same set of five numbers multiple times does is slant the equal distribution of the payout towards you. If there is one

New York Lottery draws identical Take 5 results two drawings in a rowReply
Not sure if the relevant rules have changed since then, but currently most of the NY Lotto prizes are parimutuel. 2nd place can vary widely depending on how long it goes without a winner, while 3rd and 4th are a bit more consistent. 5th place is the only one that's fixed, and pays $1. If the prizes weren't normally parimutuel back then I'm sure they had a disclaimer in case they had an unusually high number of winners. AFAIK it was basically a PSA to let people know that instead of the typi

Playing Quick Picks Versus Picking Your Own NumbersReply
I went totally berzerk yesterday when I bought a PB ticket. I did my crazy five lines of five identical white ball numbers thing with The Power Play added, and then I thought I should buy the Double Play just for laughs.... The ticket cost me 20 bucks and I got some of it back because I won $7 due to the fact I had the Double Play PB number. When playing like I do (I mostly do this when the jackpot is huge and I don't normally buy The Double Play) gives me a shot at winning a $10,000,000 se

$610 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot largest in ten monthsReply
now just a 'modest' increase of $30 million to $610. That $72 million change from 508 to 580 was actually an increase to 550 followed by a change in interest rates that added an imaginary $30 million while increasing the cash value by all of 800k. Also, despite the jackpots always being higher if there's a rollover sales for a Monday jackpot are almost always substantially less than sales for the previous Saturday. That said, a rollover tonight will increase it from 625 to 680, which is pre

Wit and Wisdom of old lottery players...Reply
Skyline69 didn't win the lottery in 2010. Didn't happen. Skyline69 also sent an email to convince me he had won $10,000 playing Texas Two Step. I didn't bite on that either. Skyline69's name was Larry. Skyline was the name of the restaurant he managed/worked at/owned. But he didn't win any jackpots. G
