Not quite.... DIVA MM has a LIABILITY CAP ....Read on..... Should total prize liability, exclusive of Grand/Jackpot Prize rollover from previous drawings and California Lottery sales and prizes for prize levels 2 through 9, exceed 300% of draw sales or 50% of draw sales plus $50,000,000, whichever is less, (both hereinafter referred to as the Liability Cap ), the Second through Fifth prizes shall be paid on a pari-mutuel rather than fixed prize basis, provided, however, that in no event shall

Lottery Post Convention?!?!?!Reply
If LP members have a convention, I think it should be held in the state/city of the most LP members and let the members from that city hold it.A liaison can be assigned for each city. If there are enough people in one city, they can get discount plane/bus/hotel tickets and travel together. Maybe there will be people who will be hospitable to accommodation LP member or stay with friends or relatives.Of course for all of this to happen, there should be some type of fee to cover cost of organizin

A Question for some Old TimersReply
Good luck finding 100 people willing to buy 50 PowerBall tickets on their own and split their winnings with 99 other people they've never met.If you're really interested in trying something like that, it would probably be better to organize 100 people in your area that you know and could watch if you didn't trust them.Todd, the webmaster talked about looking into organizing a LP pool some time back where everyone interested would send their money in ahead of the drawing and an agent for LP would

That was weird!Reply
Well, here's what I found out when I wrote to the Kentucky Lottery Corporation. First, my inquiry; then, their response. You can judge the rest for yourselves.aye'Last night as I watched the Kentucky Lottery drawings for Pick 3, Pick4, and Cashball on WDRB Channel 41, there was a sign on each ballmachine which read, KLC Test Drawing. Why? Were those not the correctofficial draw numbers for Saturday night? I've never before seen anythinglike that. What happened?Due to an error by our crew, sign

What are the Chances in pick 3Reply
Lottaloot, Chances are the same each draw for each position, you have 1 chance in 10 for any digit to be drawn in position 1, position 2 and position 3. Probabilities are a different story. If a single digit has not been drawn in any position in 10 draws , then each draw after 10 the probability of that digit coming will increase. In a negative expectation game, such as lotto, then I think (IMHO) the gamble should always be given to the best probability of an event. There are several of su

Do you believe you'll win a jackpot?Reply
The explanation of what happened is more for the Mystical Forum but will give you the short of it.You'd held those numbers in your mind by playing them, expecting them to hit. You gave up on the numbers, dismissed them from your mind and let them go completely. What happened was the virtual reality you'd created by holding those numbers in your mind ended up manifesting in concrete reality for you ...... because you let it go and forgot about it.In Mystical terms that's how a visualized occu

Who Has The Highest? (Not The Lowest)Reply
Bonus match 5 the exciting part you get three boards for two bucks if you play all the same numbers on 12 boards cost 8.00 bucks you could win 600,000 tax free bucks as each board is worth 50 grand.Not a bad pay day for anyone you might dial in the winning numbers in this fashion. In fact it's better than winning lotto at 1mill and taking cash 1/2 that and ending up paying taxes. I play 2 boards with the same numbers ever day i'll be happy to win but kick myself for not having played 12 boards

Unclaimed New Mexico Powerball jackpot fuels speculationReply
New Mexicans are hampered in their appreciation for what a non-event this is for a couple of reasons. First, they still think the word 'anal' refers to a body-orifice that doesn't get a lot of attention in polite society outside the privacy of a porcelain fixture and a scroll of paper too thin to be of much service as a writing pad.Second, the lottery officials want to get as much mileage in the news about a NM winner as they possibly can so's to keep those poor and under-educated New Mexicans b

Did anyone notice the awesome 3rd tier Calif Mega Millions prize?Reply
I checked both the websites of California and New York and both states contribute 32% of their MegaMillions tickets sales to the jackpot and use 18% of those sales to pay the other prizes. I assume the same is true for all MegaMillions states although they don't post it on their websites. Since California decided to go pari-mutuel after each game, winners won't know what they've won until after the money is counted and divided by a formula that depends on the number of winners in the state and
