My questions about Scratchers
I was not a big fan of the scratchers until recently. I started playing at a couple high traffic retailers. One such place has 10 ticket vending machines, plus multiple rolls of many of the games behind the counter that the staff can fetch as they work any of the four terminals. It just seems like that kind of turnover might yield better results - nothing scientific, just a hunch. Part of my skepticism about my odds at winning at scratchers is based on the impossibility to accurately set odds

Mega Millions went up. And down.Reply
Just more proof that Lottery Officials will try n screw us anyway they can, if they can, and someone not take notice... It's a sure sign that they're in financial trouble... Insufficient proceeds coming in from their already loop-sided odds in their favor..along with their usual unscrupulous practices, are causing players to hold on to their money... Minnesota is kickin Lucky for Life to the curb...I used to track it , til they went from 2wice a week to EVERYDAY..!!... Similar problems ma

NC Cash 5Reply
Last night we got skips of 1 and 2. We didnt get a repeater. We've had no repeater in three games. That is my focus today. i am partial to 10, 11, 24 and 25, maybe 24 the most. realistically they all have potential. In the short term perspective, 2, 10, 24 have been hitting recently. In a long term look (the entire history of the game and from 2019 onward) 11, 24, 25 hit the most often. Where those perspectives intersect is digit 24. 24 likes to hook up with 36. 36 is out three games. I have

One Michigan lottery ticket wins $1 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
43 lucky players matched the first 5 numbers for a $1,000,000 prize: $3 winners would be incredibly unlikely if all of the tickets had been random, the lotteries have told us that only 70 to 80% of players choose QP. Depending on the percentage of people picking their own numbers that stick to birthday numbers 43 winners is pretty close to what probability suggests. The necessary corollary is that when the winning numbers have fewer birthday numbers there are fewer 5+0 winners than would no

WTH!! 43 Winners last night/2nd Place on Powerball...Reply
According to lottoreport .com there were about 25.5 million tickets sold for Saturday's drawing. In 2020 that was about normal for jackpots in the $300 million range, and about 2.5 times as many as for a typical starting jackpot. Random probability says we should expect 1 5+0 winner out of every 11.688 million tickets, and sales were about 2.2 times that many. For a random distribution the chance of having 43 winners with sales of 25.5 million tickets is basically zero. It's so low that I can

649 - cost vs payout when wheeling?Reply
Concentrate on a Method.. Uncontrolled Ambition usually causes one to make bad decisions..Winning a larger Jackpot vs a smaller one is not as relevant as picking the correct or Statistically viable numbers for either.. It would seem more logical to focus on mastering picking probable numbers.. and since one lottery offers more bang for your buck than does the other, work on it...a $1 Million Jackpot is still no laughing matter... win it, then go after any larger Jackpots..!! As for whe

Computer Drawings Rigged?Reply
i've always said they are rigged a software GLITCH that selects a pair of seldom chosen numbers for a particular draw pretty much guarantees a low payout. .............. I noticed patterns in Hell-inois, before jackpots get larger then normal the numbers drawn will be close together, example 22.23.24.27.29.36 if you number a circle 1-45 and mark those drawn numbers out you'll notice how lopsided it is. drawings come out many times similar to that coincidence?

Would You Switch Candidates To Get Nationwide Internet Lottery Play?Reply
Yea, I see your point of view... It's just that the Candidate's lottery view wouldn't be enough reason for me to change my vote...even if offered by #45..! I,.. like you, would love the opportunity to play other lottery Games from other States online, but from what I've seen, as in Pwrball MM... it's too expensive..!! Heck, I'll be the first to admit that I was salivating over that Texas Lotto Game at over a $42 Million or more..!!.. and was about to visit Relatives there, til it was w

A digital look at a jackpot lotteryReply
Part 7 - High score wheel I'm still testing the whole system and barely scratched the surface of its capability. It's still being developed and refined but what I've seen so far is becoming more and interesting. I already showed that smaller wheels can make money. Well, not only. Look at the examples below. That's a large wheel, 40 tickets a game. I use the same sample data as before for comparison. 9 latest draws, 8 winners, unquestionably a winning cluster. If my math is correct

Dues anyone know?Reply
I believe that wheels are an essential element in all numeric lotteries (Pick 3, Pick 4, jackpots). They allow not only for a proper number distribution but also guarantee a win, if you match the wheel's conditions (not all wheels may guarantee the win but I use only these that do). They also concentrate the effort. Here is what I mean. Take Pick 3. 8 digits out of 10. In order to hit you must have 3 winning digits in your 8. 1 missing and you are out. Probabilities: 8/10 x 8/10 x 8/
