Found another $40 on $2 LFL. Darn...wish I hit that same odds prize on a $5 game instead of *wasting* it on a $2 game, but oh well. This one was different than the last one, 5x $8 instead of 10 $4 matches.

Biggest odds you have overcome?Reply
1 in 316? Those are about the same odds as getting 3+0 in the MM game. Got one last week.

Georgia Team Players Post Pic 4"S HereReply
What kind of foolishness is this ? Two consecutive evening split 77 pairs as in 7xx7. Wonder what the odds of that are ? No way I ever would have played some junk like that unless maybe it was a quick pick.

Do people win more by buying 1 draw ticket or at 3 or more?Reply
The odds do not change despite the numbers of tickets you purchase. For instance there are multiple lottery pools across the country who could buy up to 100 tickets for a particular draw- and still not win the big one. Yet some person across Town can put down $1.00 and win the whole thing, its all about the numbers and pure chance.

TX Lotto players - Lottery Commission's sneaky rule changeReply
Lotteries has to adjust to their markets and with most states offering PB and MM, local games don't have to offer large jackpots to attract a following. Some players are happy to have a chance to win a $10-$20M jackpot with odds of 1:20M or better.

Are you a creature of habit when purchasing your lottery tickets?Reply
Everyone odds of winning are the same, while a general overall picture might show most winners are from the most populated areas, the winners can be from anywhere. It's the ticket that wins, not the area.

I don't think you can expect them to guarantee that they sell all tickets, the stores and the customers have to buy the tickets first. If the game is not selling well or is a poor game (like SFL was) then they should pull it. As long as the tickets and prizes they show are what would have been available from full sales, that is a true reflection of the game structure. If they advertise the odds and number of prizes accurately, I don't think that is false advertisement. Well, except for the in

Glad this subject came up. When you post your lines is the first line the one you think is most likely to hit or are all of them in the top set the same odds? (I did play one of your lines tonight but it is not the first line)

Buying a whole roll of scratch off tickets with office poll
Is it a good idea to buy a whole roll of scratch off tickets with office poll? Considering that the odds of winning anything with scratch off are much better than draw tickets, it might be worth considering.

Question for those who have bought the whole rollReply
when playing scratch it's all about being at the right place at the right time. I bought several books, the odds are somewhat correct. Average return ranges from 25-45 % especially the $20 games. Pure luck, all my good wins come from playing 1 or 2 cards.
