Illinois: 12/1 - 12/31/2024Reply
Thanks MsDuffleBagLady and congrats to you and Dimples as well! Feeding my lotto habit this week, IL Pick 3 has been kind as has MO Pick 4, now to figure out the odds on an IL Pick 3 This weekend I'm feeling my husband's retirement date, 531, so doubling up from my regular numbers - 129, 331, 531, 612, 717, and 923 thru Sunday Dec 8th. Keeping 129 and 612 in case they repeat thru Sunday. Adding 865 just because 8865 came in tonight for me in Mo. Good vibes to all this weekend!

California man says he's waited nine weeks for $44 million Powerball lottery jackpot payoutReply
Sounds like California Lottery is making the process super complicated. I live in Colorado and here are the Powerball regulations for my state: 14.A.6 Payment of Prizes A. - Grand Prizes shall be paid at the election of the Ticket Holder either by a single cash payment or in a series of annuity payments. The Ticket Holder becomes entitled to the Prize at the time the Prize is validated as a Prize Winner. However, the Grand Prize is paid by the Lottery upon receipt of funds from MUSL no e

Play Online in any State LotteryReply
I think the reasoning behind that is to ensure that locals get a chance at winning the in state games. Most of the in-state games have lower odds that ensure someone wins. The state is always happy when a local is the winner. Otherwise guys in California, Florida, Illinois etc would be winning all local lotteries in every state. However when traveling across state lines, one can still play any lottery and am yet to be told, no you can't buy this because you don't live here. That

Canadian couple wins $70 million Lotto Max jackpot days after welcoming newbornReply
I read the Wikipedia article on Lotto Max. Thanks for sharing the article. When you read the Prize structure of winning the 7/7 main prize it states CHANCE OF WINNING ON A $5 PLAY IS 1 IN 33,294,800. It does not state ODDS AS 1 IN 33,294,800. As I stated before , total combinations of 7/50 is 99,884,400. They divided the three (3) lines of the total combinations and arrived with 33,294,800 combinations. The minimum cost to play Lotto Max is $5.00 which includes 3 seven number (7) t

Canadian couple wins $70 million Lotto Max jackpot days after welcoming newbornReply
Hello again, When Lotto Max was with a field of 49 numbers 7/49, the total 7 number combinations equaled to 85,900,584. Any guess as to why they added number 50 to the field of 7/50 ? It increased the total combinations by 13,983,816. That is why week after week no one wins the Lotto Max jackpot in Canada with a population of 35 million. How does dividing 99,884,400 by 3 tickets you arrive at odds of 1 in 33,294,800 ?

Massachusetts brother and sister win identical $25,000 a year for life lottery prizesReply
Lucky for Life has better odds than Powerball and Mega millions. I believe we don't see alot of winners because people are focused on the growing jackpot, MM, PB and others. Unlike MM and PB, the lucky for life jackpot is fixed and does not grow. I think that's why most people prefer to play the other jackpots that have a growing prize. Congratulations to the winners.

LOTTO MAX 7/50 TOTAL COMBINATIONS ?
On the Canadian Lotto Max 7/50 lottery web site indicates that the odds are 1:33,294,800. Doing the math 50x49x48x47x46x45x44 divided by 1x2x3x4x5x6x7 =99,884,400 seven number combinations. With a $5 purchase you get to play 3 lines. If you divide 99,884,400 by 3 you get 33,294,800. False advertisement.
