You Just Won $10,000 or MoreReply
Well, I thought maybe the reason we were seeing so many multiple prize winners is because they were increasing their play after they won the first largish amount. But according to the poll, the denizens of this board haven't/wouldn't increase their play. So what gives? Are the peeps who win multiple times just lucky?

Kentucky Cash Ball question.
I looked on the KY Lottery website for the amount of the top prize for Cash Ball. It says $200,000 for matching 4+1, but it doesn't have any type of description for a case where there are multiple winners of the top prize. For example, on the 3 Line Lotto page, it's top prize description states: If there is more than one jackpot winner, the prize is divided among all winners . Also, the Hoosier Lottery also has a description for Mix Match's top prize that states If 3 or more single lines amo

A dollar and a dream true for PB and MM?Reply
It has absolutely happened many times before (winning on one pick), and if you search the News forum for past winners you will uncover some. However, more people win with multiple picks. That is odds at work, plain and simple. It is the same reason why more winners tend to come from states with large populations. Jack Whittaker won with $98 in Powerball tickets. (To use an infamous example.)

If you had a 'system'....Reply
Either I didn't write it well and/or you didn't understand what I was saying. In conjunction to using the system I came up with I would write it into a program and sell it. (multiple times) Not only bringing in the money that I won while using the system, but have money coming in by selling it as well. Now, do you understand? I thought by me being the one that came up with the system it would be understood that I would be using it too. I guess not...

virginia man wins 125,000 on pick 4Reply
First of all, good for him for playing one number instead of $25 worth of different numbers. All or nothing.His story should give us all more hope of winning big in Pick 4 one day.There is another guy in Virginia who puts more than $100 on 5188 boxed. If that's not enough, he even puts more on straight and combo bets. I'm not even sure if he plays day and night. Anyway, he plays this number reguarly (multiple times in a week) since he won a couple thousand last December. It's the only number h

Statistics ?Reply
Actually, there can be an advantage of having the same numbers on multiple tickets. There was a guy, a year or two ago, who always played the same number. He forgot he had bought a ticket, so bought another one. Three tickets won the jackpot. He got two-thirds, because he had two tickets. If he had bought only one ticket, he would only have recived half.Buying one hundred tickets with the same number may not make a lot of sense, but if that number came up, the jackpot would be divided between al

Are Secrets Really Worth Keeping?Reply
Many years ago I was asked to help write software to assist lottery players in selecting their numbers . I was very careful not to make statements like better chance of winning or improved odds because mathematically speaking, it is impossible to change the probability of any particular event happening.That said, it is not at all difficult to put together wheels and other systems that change the probability of a win and the pattern of what might be won, but ultimately, the expected amount

Cashing out on Monday..Reply
Tntea,Know what you mean..about you know where. I almost signed up with them, but after considering the times that I had made multiple wagers and won some decent money.. well in transferring that kind of money raises some issues and I choose not to do that. Now if you're just losing or breaking even it doesn't matter...lol. Be careful, transfer under $1000 at a time...Big brother is watching.....and like I said there are other issues as well, so even tho the odds for the payouts are better...it

Three $1 million winning Powerball lottery tickets sold at the same New York storeReply
While it is unusual, people buying multple identical lines isn't all that uncommon. We don't hear about all the times that it was done but it didn't produce a jackpot winner. We only hear about it when it wins big. In New York City, especially Brooklyn, many savvy players buy multiple tickets with the same set of numbers. They do it a lot with Take5 to reduce the pari-muteul aspect of the game. Many times I've read the Top Prize Winners report published on The NY Lottery website that showed
