I actually feel the better approach is to look at the chances as opposed to probability Perspective and semantics can turn it into a very long discussion, but they're (extremely close to) the same thing. Since the probability advantage of playing all of your chances on a single drawing is extremely small when the number of chances is extremely small relative to the possible combinations let's ignore it for a moment. Suppose you have the option to buy seven $1 tickets for a game with 70 mill

will you play the new $5 mega millions?Reply
First date of new MM matrix change; 10/31/2017 RELEASE DATE: 10/18/2017 Mega Millions is being redesigned to bring more value to its players with larger starting jackpots and faster rolls. Starting jackpots will more than double from $15 million to $40 million, and jackpots will grow faster overall. There will be better odds to win $1 million prizes and higher secondary prizes. We have a demand for innovation to keep fresh, entertaining lottery games and to deliver the attention-grabbing ja

Texas Senator threatens to defund the Texas LotteryReply
Can't get mad at the truth because that's exactly what they did. Like there is nothing more important than making it illegal for people to play non-jackpot games (like the pick 3/4) online through couriers. If they are mad at people buying jackpots then only apply to games that have jackpots that increase over time. This law should not apply to the pick 3/4 games or any game that does not increase their prize amount. It's flat out stupid to criminalize playing the pick 3/4 ga

If you don't know the laws of chance in lotteries, you'll be praying to the gods of chance asking what to do. What are the laws of chance in lotteries? The laws of chance in lotteries are based on probability and statistics, not on beliefs or prayers. Here are some fundamental concepts that govern how lotteries work: Probability: Each number in a lottery has the same chance of being drawn, regardless of previous results. For example, in a lottery with 6 numbers from 1 to 60, the chance of

Texas Senator threatens to defund the Texas LotteryReply
I can answer that. Anyone can call them self a professional lottery player . And develop winning strategies. Not true. A significant majority of players lose more than they win because they have not developed a winning strategy. But buying 25 million + tickets containing all the possible combinations by conglomerates are not professional lottery players . They are simply gaming the system and cheating all the other players. Buying the Jackpot ok I get it. However, my biggest issue i

Texas Senator threatens to defund the Texas LotteryReply
Are you in Texas? Have you been following anything Todd or Kate have written? Are you aware that Pete Sullivan, from Draft Kings testified that groups watch and target lotteries once the payout is larger than the permutations of the game? And that additional steps limiting the number of terminals and the number of tickets sold by any terminal has been instituted? Did you know that Texas lottery Commission prohibited third party couriers service as of last Monday? Are you aware th

Texas Lottery bans lottery courier servicesReply
I guess I'm an average player. I don't pay attention to where tickets are sold. All I care about is, Did someone win? But you raise another good question. We know that Draft Kings is connected to Jackpocket. Could it be Draft Kings funneling money into Jackpocket (money laundering)? Do we know Jackpocket isn't tracking the combinations bought and offering some insider info to certain parties of combinations not purchased (crazy idea but it might increase the odds of hitting large if

Michigan: 12/1 - 12/31/2024Reply
They just have to... they are making millions a day regardless, and I don't know what type of software they're using, but they are definitely screwing us lottery players. I think I'll start playing other states after this year, because they truly are rigging the system. Look at how many repeating numbers we get and how many repeating 2 digits. Yes, I know we have midday and evening lotteries, but you telling me out of a 1,000 numbers they repeat the same exact number? Yes, the 726 was evening an

$825 MILLION: Massive Mega Millions drawing set for FridayReply
i do not see any value in the ranking of annuities. The only possible point I can see is to make it even more obvious when the annuity is even more misleading than usual. This one is $2.5 million less than the next biggest cash prize, but it's being advertised as $237 million more. There's no way that would be legal if a private company was doing it. the last time we had 4 in a row I don't know when, or if, it happened before but with the current matrix the chances are about 1 in 1

California Mega Millions lottery ticket splitting $395 million jackpot will expire in one dayReply
Maybe the gas station owner printed two tickets by mistake and somehow discarded the other one? It's possible that it's just a coincidence, but the odds for several other explanations are far higher. I once had a clerk somehow print an extra ticket (which they gave to me) by accident and I once had a clerk print 3 tickets because they only thought they knew how to do an advanced draw and just kept trying. I believe one of the people who posted here once said that if somebody dropped play sl
