Cash 5 winner's chance meeting with New Jersey Lottery official confirms $678,674 jackpot prizeNews Story
What are the odds? By Kate Northrop A Jersey Cash 5 jackpot winner was skeptical of their $678,674 win, but a coincidental run-in with a New Jersey Lottery official assured them that it was entirely real. The odds of winning the lottery are high enough, but simultaneously winning the lottery and running into an off-duty New Jersey Lottery official and having them confirm the win must certainly be an astoundingly rare sequence of events. The odds of winning the Jersey Cash 5 jackp

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
Each ticket is up against the same odds. Take your theory to PB and MM level. Consider that for every drawing those who play do not realize they are all part of one humongous pool. We'll use odds of 300,000,000 to malt it easier. So if the first ticket is up against 300M and the next ticket is up against 150M, etc. somebody will have twin. Oh, wait, many drawings go by with no jackpot winners. Gee, how can that be because Tucker Black said..................,Go to the Florida lottery website and

Florida's Fantasy 5Reply
Ahh sorry, I meant expected value, not earning potential. I must have been tired when I typed that up lol. Basically I meant F5 has the best ODDs for a Florida game. Fantasy 5 is generally considered the best bet among Florida draw games because it offers the most favorable overall odds of winning any prize. It has a smaller, more frequent jackpot and better overall odds of winning any prize (1 in 7.58).

The Hoosier Daily 3 is RiggedReply
If a person is truly poor , then the very last thing such person should be doing is playing (gambling) the lottery. In a Pick 3 game the odds are 1 in 1000. Compared to jackpot games that's good odds. But gambling money needed for food or bills is bad odds. Blaming the state and saying it's rigged is a poor excuse for losing.

Banana Peel Luck for Small WinsReply
Odds of what's happened so far 10/82.9 (10 tickets won 1 out of 82.9 odds) 10/1105 (10 tickets won 1 out of 1105 odds) 5/56.7 (5 tickets won 1 out of 56.7 odds) 8/1841 (10 tickets won 1 out of 1841) 5/56.7 (5 tickets won 1 out of 56.7 odds) odds of the above happening 1/(10/82.9*10/1105*5/56.7*10/1841*5/56.7) = 21,686,861.5 that's 1 in over 21 million.....so I am a very biased believer of banana peel luck (I call it that but I guess it's any peel would work),

163 M Powerball DrawingReply
at those odds i don't play when the cash value is less than 600 million. total waste of money. right now texas lotto jackpot cash value is 32 million and odds are like 1 in 25 million. you could buy 2 lotto texas tickets for the same price as one dumb powerball ticket and get way better odds of winning a similar sized cash jackpot. it's a no brainer.

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
There is only one set of winning numbers drawn and each set played is an attempt to match that set. Suppose you only bought one ticket but they drew two sets of numbers? What would that do to the odds? I didn't say each additional ticket cuts the odds in half. That's another part of his inability to understand 3rd grade fractions. He seems to think that we're saying that 2/100ths is twice as much as 1/100th (and might even understand that much) but also thinks that we're saying 2 x

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
I know Lotto Motto can appreciate what I'm about to write because he/she is located in Miami. I mostly play Florida Fantasy5 due to it's 376,992 to 1 odds. Fantasy5's jackpots aren't exactly life changing. Midday draws pay out roughly $45,000 before taxes to a single winner. The Evening Fantasy5 draw pays approximately $100,000 to a single jackpot winner. (Again, before taxes) If all Raffle tickets in their respective range are sold, the odds of winning are 1 in 100,000.
