Powerball Matrix Change - April 15, 2015Reply
Correct. 2nd tier doesn't change and multiplier doesn't kick in until 3rd tier and down. Since my understanding is that the multiplier is included at no additional cost, here is a table showing the difference in EV for old matrix vs. new matrix (base). A positive % means the value increased (good), while negative is vice versa (bad). This is the simplest way to compare odds and prize value between different matrixes. Match Change in EV 5 of 5 + PB* (38.73%) 5 of 5 (44.14%) 4 o

Input Playing the Various 6-49 Games
Been a reader here for a long time ... like everyone else, trying for a life changing jackpot on something. Just would like to hear from other people living in states that have a 6-49 game. In PA our 6-49 cost $2.00 but you get three lines or chances to win ... coming out to $0.66 a line cost. I feel it's really the cheapest way to play the lottery in PA, with a shot at a decent jackpot. I'm talking after it builds up to around two million. It's starts at $500,000 and builds slowly with

$160 MILLION: largest Mega Millions jackpot in 5 monthsNews Story
By Todd Northrop After a couple of mega-sized jackpots early this year, the Mega Millions jackpot has stubbornly refused to explode to the humongous levels that make lottery players line up around the block. Perhaps that might change in the next couple of weeks, as the Mega Millions grand prize has increased to $160 million for the Tuesday evening drawing after nobody matched all 5 numbers and the Mega Ball Friday night. The lump-sum cash value of Tuesday's Mega Millions jackpot is $95.

What threads entertain lottery officials the most?Reply
I'm one of several thousand players who visit LP regularly. In the past ten years, every possible topic regarding lottery play has been brought up and hashed out several times over. The various discussions regarding 'odds' probably provide much amusement to folks who are paid good salaries to find ways to pick our pockets. One thing I think they've learned is that 'odds' don't scare folks. Any intelligent person who gambles ought to know that the 'odds' of winning anything is some

MADDOGS Mega Millions And Powerball Challenge Is A Waste Of Time.Reply
Hi all I am amazed by the recent postings here in the Jackpots forum over someone winning Maddog's PB challenge. Congrats to the winner, nice job. I guess to settle the dispute Maddog could ask the participant's to generate all the combos from now on and post the entire list. Let's see, hmmmm, I think the PB challenge participant's select 12 white balls and 4 bonus numbers. This would mean that each person would be required to post 3,168 lines to cover every possible 5+1.
