Back Testing FormulasReply
Sorry for the strong language. I spoke before I had my morning coffee! I'm an old man, too. Been around a lot longer than I thought I would be. But, my Mom would be embarrassed. She would probably threaten to wash my mouth out with soap! Still, if you or anyone you know can play the lottery without 'looking back' for clues that would help them pick winning numbers has got to be rich. Rich folks probably don't visit LP for help in choosing winning numbers. They already know. If the

Is this weird??Reply
I have done this both ways with $20-$25 tickets. In theory, the idea is buying at different places or at least off of different rolls that all 20 tickets could be winners. But it could also mean that all 20 tickets could be losers. Is this game near 50% sold? Based on the number of jackpots won for $250K the game needs to hit close to 50% in sales before the next grand prize is released. In either case, you'll be lucky to win $40 back which is what I'd expect you'd get back at best unlease

Woman sues casino that offered her steak dinner instead of $43 million jackpotNews Story
Katrina Bookman captured national attention last year when she played a Sphinx Slot Machine at Resorts World Casino in Queens, New York, and it appeared as though she'd won $43 million which would have been the largest jackpot ever won on the slots in U.S. history. She excitedly snapped a selfie with the screen, believing her life was forever changed. But when Bookman came to collect her prize, a casino worker told her she hadn't actually won anything and offered her nothing but a complimenta

Just the JackpotReply
So I did some calculations on this option and it is actually going to be a better deal for big jackpots. In terms of per dollar expected value, any cash jackpot over $224,500,000 the player should only play just the jackpot option.

Who is mightier, the one-armed bandits or the cellphone bandits?
~With Compliments Eddessa_Knight with Lucky Light ~ If you see a guy wandering the aisles of South Florida s casinos, pointing his cellphone at the slot machines, don t bother offering to help him snap a selfie. Rather than a hopelessly inept tourist, he s more likely a cheater, using his phone to exploit a security gap that, by some estimates, has cost American casinos millions of dollars in slot-machine losses. The scheme to rip off the slot machines was devised by everybody

Powerball's Not Such A Tough Guy
Ahhh....Mr Powerball. A lottery player's dream. A lottery player's nightmare. We have such a love/hate relationship with him. At 69 numbers, do we even stand a chance? Well... Let's look at some facts. Research is your best friend when going up against such an opponent. He boasts 69 numbers. I say, hogwash! 1,083 jackpots have been won in the range of 1-49 numbers. I know most people buy quick picks but don't you hate getting those ones with all crazy high numbers? A

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
@ dracos To everyone who likes data on a game i play regularly i thought this may interest you, Hello there! I am certainly hoping when you get the latest IRL report for $2MJ that the prize totals i posted from the 1-4-17 report are much lower...given how many books have been cleared out the past month i will be very suspicious and greatly disappointed if the newest figures are not much lower than what i had from the 1-4-17 report. For those out there wondering how useful the reports real

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
I would personally buy up anything in the 730s. Those are becoming the most scarce, with plenty of rolls in the 700k-720k range being out there, along with the 680kish range. I found the last $100k winner on roll # 733829 on Nov 19th. I was pretty shocked to see it still existed since it was a single number match, which gives me hope that the final Super Millions jackpot could still be out there within the 200 or so books still out there. Here are where the 11 previous jackpots were fou
