Poll: New National Game October 19th - Will You Play?Reply
Are those numbers real? There's no way I'm putting down $5 a ticket for 1 in 72.8 million odds to win $15-25M annuity

Pennsylvania: 8/1 - 8/31/2014Reply
Good luck all! Can somebody help me. No big 4 or Quinto threads. You can private message me. In Quinto are the odds of a dbl digit better than no dbl digits?

Wisconsin MegaBucks $$Reply
Barely 8,000 players, and about 1 out of 7 million for odds. It's definitely time for a winner for NO Bucks! Maybe I will jump in on the next draw.

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Very nice find skeptic!! And your post earlier about back to back tickets with 100X symbols is insane!!!! Wonder what those odds are. I would feel like i was dreaming if that happened.

Cali Powerball 2nd Place Win = $7.6MReply
To play MM PB in CA is an experience on it's own. Last Tuesday 08/05/2014 there were 3 players from Cali who matched 5 of 5 of MM and each pocketed only $58,076. To beat odds of 1 in 18,492,204 and end up with only $58,000 is tough news to bear. On the other hand $7.6M for matching 5 of 5 is unbelievable.

How are Pick 3 Lottery Numbers Drawn?Reply
How are Pick 3 numbers drawn? They go through an awful lot of trouble just to 'draw' (manual-style) or 'display' (RNG-style) three simple numbers. They're supposed to be randomly drawn, and, random means without any type of pre-determined preparation(s) whatsoever. Random means from one 'clean draw' to the very next without any tampering in between. Sure, we've discussed and hashed this style of topic so many times but some still don't quite get it. Depending on what type of approach you're usin

Will we ever see a double win?Reply
Off the top of my head, Bulgaria in 2009. But the odds of it happening for that game were only like 1 in 4.2 million and it took 52 years.

All you would need to beat scratchoffs is to know the number of tickets soldReply
I have used this strategy for several years, since (all?) lotteries will happily provide such information through freedom of information requests. (Heck, in a recent Philly news story series, a lottery even gave them the pack numbers and locations for all the remaining packs in the game! Talk about confidence of security!) I wouldn't say it's a waste of time, but the improvement in odds is negligible and maybe once per year will a game actually be a good bet. Even in those cases, there is usu

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Nice back to back wins! I don't mess with the $20 scratchers, it hurts too much to get a dud. I've been sticking to the $5 Park Place because the odds are some of the best out of all the $5 tickets, like 1:4.000

Will we ever see a double win?Reply
I have no idea. Not likely to happen but it could happen. The odds are probably close to winning back to back jackpots.
