Odds of winning.Reply
You play horses without a system. Not smart. I have a good system for horses. However since they closed all the OTB, it dont help much. This may or may not be true (hey Jimmy wanna chime in?) I always love a good argument. (unfortunately I cant punch anybody over the internet) The Odds may stay the same, but the probabality is always changing. If you dont buy a ticket the odds of winning is ZERO. If you buy a ticket the odds of winning is than ZERO. Why not sell a winning lotte

Can math and logic improve chances of winning a jackpot?Reply
RL As one who chooses every number I play, I couldn't agree more. Odds are just numbers that the learned mathematics throw around to impress whatever society they belong to. Maybe one day some odds-oriented person will figure out a way to demonstrate with great accuracy that odds 1/1 means that I should play 078 in the next pick 3 drawing! I won't hold my breath!! A great lesson I've learned via a long life is that 'nothing given, nothing gained, or, 'no pain, no gain.' F

don't you think they might notice how much YOU care? If anything it doesn't take much common sense to see I'm interested in discussing lottery and gaming related topics. When we're discussing Gloria sighting, you want to lecture us on the astronomical odds against her winning the jackpot. You may think Catlin's book which begins with his observance of a long line a people waiting to buy lottery tickets interesting, but LP members are much more interested in Mindy's story about Gloria cuttin

Can't Touch this... da dit dit da...Reply
I have to agree WinD, Odds never change but cycles do. I only participated because I think I can beat the odds, as slight as it may be for me to accomplish this feat that is why I participated. So, Even though I didn't actually start until after 3:00pm I just used the box's for both midday/evening Saturday 6/22, only having hit (11) times therefore not being able to beat the odds yesterday. I'll keep a running log of what happened everyday.. Saturday 6/22 - 11 hits. Sunday 6/23 - 1

Mega Millions multi-state lottery to get harder to win in Oct.Reply
85MM higher odds? LOL We rarely play MM now, and once these increased odds take place I suspect will quit playing altogether. It's interesting how the current odds for the MM and PB jackpots are nearly identical and few people ever win. Two lines on MM cost the same as one line on PB, yet the cash value for PB jackpots is always 9 to 12% lower than the proportional cash vlaue for MM. It's something I've tracked since January 2011. When thinking about these proportional differences in the con

I am done buying MM & PB tickets and balls are rigged IMHO...Reply
The odds are horrible. I just wonder how many people drained accts trying for that $600M? When you consider odds of 1 in 175M+ for the jackpot win, it should be clear that you're probably not going to win. Anyone can win, it takes one ticket...boy, whoever invented that slogan knew what a sticking point it would be. It's true but to buy one ticket then complain about not winning is not realistic. Neither is buying 100 tickets...the odds are stacked against you. One day yo

Texas House reconsiders vote to abolish lottery commissionReply
On topic: They need to fire the current 3 members of our lottery commision and then hire new officials that will fix our broken TX Lotto game. The Facts: 1) 6/54 game for 1 : 25,827,126 odds. 2) Jackpot starts at $5M and only goes up by $250k when it rolls. 3) New Extra! option in the game, it works much like Powerplay. It's not worth the extra dollar, top prize is only $10k 4) Ticket sales are nowhere near what they used to be in the '90s. 5) Many players have asked to re
