Maryland: 7/1 - 7/31/2013Reply
You almost nailed the midday straight. 1341 midday 07/25/13.

YAY on the first roll!! so if you had done $1.00 box on 1341 midday your net would have been $350.00 good day.

Can math and logic improve chances of winning a jackpot?Reply
I'm included the difference between the odds and matching four numbers pays twice as much. Considering the PB and Classic Lotto jackpots, it may roll a couple of more drawings.

Mega Millions lottery game's redesign aims at bigger jackpots, better overall oddsReply
Really somewhere In the vicinity of 125 million to 1 compared to 175 million to 1.....all sense is lost when someone tries to rationalise those odds. They both are impossible In my opinion to win at this point.

Since PB costs $2 and MM still only costs $1, it's pretty much a tossup between them. I'll probably opt to pay $1 less instead of playing the slightly better odds of PB.

Now instead of odds like being stuck by lightning while being eaten by a bear, it's more like being struck by lightning while being eat by a bear while in the middle of Death Valley when it is raining!

Good point, RJOh. Sounds like they're targeting the average player with this, too. They really think players are chumps: Megaplier to be expanded The Mega Millions multi-state lottery game is being redesigned to offer bigger starting jackpots and better overall odds beginning Oct. 22.

It's not going to take forever to win a jackpot once the odds change. I still think $100 million + MM jackpots will be rare.

Perhaps people fail to cash the small prize tickets often enough that they found incentive to hand out a whole lot more of them? I'm wondering if the odds for winning $1 million will be BETTER on a scratch off?
