Millionaire for Life multi-state lottery game to replace Cash4Life and Lucky for Life in FebruaryReply
I haven't paid any attention to this game nut I just saw it on the NY lottery's home page for the first time. Obviously everybody gets to decide whether or not they want to play, but here are a couple of thoughts. The first is largely about playing this or playing PB (or MM) when the jackpot is still small. Generally, at least 8 to 10 million people (5 to 7 isn't unusual for Monday drawings) spend $2 when the annuity is $20 to $30 million (even if you die before the drawing) and the cash val

Is there any method or system that can an predict the first digit that will fall in Pick 3Reply
They both describe the same event but with a different definition of what should be in the denominator (all outcomes or only the bad outcomes). Odds 1:499 is the same thing as probability 1/500. What is your problem with the fact that the word probability has more letters and syllables than the word odds ? It's true. I think you need to put down the crack pipe. The conspiracy theories, atrocious spelling, and frequently illogical statements indicate brain rot, not dissimilar to

People often equate odds and probability even though technically they are not exactly the same . Odds is just easier because it's one syllable. Probability has more letters and five syllables. Then whyyy have YOU erroneously equated the 2?,.. if you knew that... I guess it never occurred to you that, there'z a reason whyyy they're referred to by 2 different termz ...

Millionaire For Life ...ripoffReply
The trend toward $5 as minimum bet does seem likely to continue. Looks like PA is headed in the same direction, we're on the list for the new game. I've played Cash4Life maybe 2 dozen times and never did particularly well with it. Not likely to play the $5 version. Even the odds on the $2 version seemed crazy high even for the lower end prizes. I agree with you 100%. Bring out a decent $1 game with a reasonably good jackpot and achievable odds on the lower level prizes and we'd be all ov

would you rather win 1, 10, 50, 100, or 500 million $Reply
I didn't say this game exists. It was a rhetorical question -- would you bet $2 on a 1 in 53 billion chance of winning $6 million? Apparently so, because you said that any game that awards $6M for $2 is ok. How bad do the odds of winning have to get before you say no? 1 in 800 billion? 1 in a trillion cubed? This is ridiculous that you do not consider the odds of winning when deciding whether to play. The bad casino gamblers play triple zero roulette when double zero is available. They play

would you play a multi country lottery?Reply
The idea is interesting. For me it would depend on the cost, the odds, and jackpot amount/growth rate along with the lower tier payout amounts compared to what any current games offer. Somehow I fear that the cost and odds would not be favorable. But, the dollar amounts might be tempting enough for an occasional monster jackpot play.

How Astronomical Is It To Get The Number Right In Each Column?Reply
So what your post shows is that in a 6/49 game, where the data per column is sorted ascending, each column has 44 possible numbers instead of 49. So on a per column basis, each number, in a fairly drawn game has a modified expectancy... 1/44 (0.0227) rather than 1/49 (0.0204) when considering sorted over drawn order. Since 5 numbers are not possible in each column, it looks to reduce the odds as C(49/6) has 13,983,816 combinations, while C(44/6) has 7,059,052 combinations. Interesting observatio

You Can't Lose If You Don't PlayReply
Playing 128 pick 3 numbers the probability of an exact number hit is 12%, 1 in 8.3. This equates to the probability of not hitting to be 1 in 1.14, 88%. If we take the exact odds approach (though unlikely to occur) and assume 1 in every 8 draws will hit playing 128 numbers with a cost of $256 (your example) $2048 will be spent. Offset this by a win of $744 (your example) this leaves a loss of $1304 for the 8 drawing campaign. Your example win of $744 indicates more than just a str

my idea for a multi-state lottery
1) Choose 6 numbers from 1 to 68. 2) Tickets cost $1. 3) Match all 6 to win the jackpot, which starts at $25 million. 4) 10 cents of each ticket gets added to the jackpot. 5) Match 5 of 6 to win the 2nd prize of $100,000. 6) Buy 5, get one free. For $5, you get 6 lines, which is either 6 QP or your playslip of 5 sets of 6 numbers plus one QP. 7) Both prizes are all cash (subject to taxes, of course, we can't get around that). No annuity BS. If you win $25 million and want
