It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
While there are games that cost more than $5..... $10 scratchers, $20 scratchers, $50 scratchers, $20 raffle tickets, etc., the difference is that in those games, you have a vastly higher chance of winning a large amount of money. The problem with the new $5 MM is that they didn't change much of anything. It includes the multiplier for lower prizes (instead of giving you a choice to pay the extra $1).

How Astronomical Is It To Get The Number Right In Each Column?Reply
By the data, that makes 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 49 the most likely combo in any 6/49. This is a common misperception. That combo and any other combo has exactly the same probability of occurrence.

Rising Gas Prices and the LotteryReply

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
Players have been playing those vertical rows since the first lottery slip was placed on a lottery stand in stores. The odds on it coming in are the same as any other 5 numbers.
