Judge: Poker pro Ivey, pal broke gambling rules in $10M winReply
I wonder if lotteries have similar rules in case players discover a flaw in their games that can be exploited? I've read they suspect players who continue to beat the odds of cheating but usually can't prove it without their cooperation.

Do you believe every combination has the same probability?Reply
there is no specific answer to the question about consecutive numbers. The answer depends on what the question is. I'm assuming the question about consecutive numbers was meant to suggest that such results are less likely than other results, because of the imaginary significance of the relationship between the numbers. There are two possibilities for a specific answer. One is to provide an exact answer about how many times that has actually happened, but there are a lot of different games w

Georgia Lottery looking for $7.5M Mega Millions winnerReply
Neither of the winning tickets from that drawing have been cashed. (The other ticket was sold in Va.) So, what do you think the odds are of both tickets being lost ?

MegaMillions Predictions 10/18/16Reply
Even if you played all 3311 lines regardless of the jackpot amount unless your system does better than the average overall odds you can't expect to win much more than $328 with 225 wins Good luck

Do you believe every combination has the same probability?Reply
Isn't it obvious? If you make a list of the last 2000 or more drawings of any pick3 or pick4 drawing you'll notice several combinations have hit several times while others have never hit at all. I suspect the same would be true of jackpot games if the list was long enough. A player would just have to find the uniqueness of the groups of winners and he could improve his odds of winning.

KENO : How to configure your keno way tickets by LV Author & ExpertReply
Keno Authority Pescah offers this strategy ~with good luck compliments Eddessa_knight ~ The odds on catching an 8 out of 8 are 230,114:1 but in this situation of the 190 way ticket things are a little different.While it is a good approximation of dividing 230,114/190 to get your chances of hitting 8 out of 8 in a single draw, in reality it is more involved as binomial theorem comes on to play. It is possible to actually hit 10 eight out of 8s in a 190 way 8 spot (if 5 groups of 4 a

Powerball will it happen tonightReply
The only thing we know for sure is that we will almost certainly not see the fabled 10X multiplier. Seriously, odds of 1 in 43!

Scratcher Tickets PollReply
Calif has ruined scratchers. They cut back on the number of large jackpots for each game for what they claim are more smaller prizes. But the odds are not great for the smaller prizes and they are palty. They had an end of each game drawing for the top prize but they did a way with that, too. I stopped playing all scratchers. Even the graphics look less than enticing.

Is it easier to win pick 3 or pick 4 in your own experience?Reply
It's obvious because of the odds, it's easier to win pick-3 and should be just as obvious players win more playing pick-4. I make multiple bets on pick-4 straight and box so my winnings are much more than the same pick-3 multiple bets.

If I were running my states lottery I would...Reply
Virginia: I would add a 2-ball and 5-ball numbers game like Pennsylvania and Florida have. I would also increase the lower-tier prize payouts on jackpot games to at least 25% of the odds.
