The New York Lottery Games: Jimmy Style
O.K. Numbers, Win4, and Quick Draw will remain unchanged. And the only changes I have for Pick 10 are televising the drawings, and a rolling jackpot beginning at $500,000 and grows by at least $50,000 each draw.Take Five:The most prominent features will remain unchanged. Still pick 5 of 39, still $1, and still daily.

PB Drawing for Saturday 12-18-04Reply

Does this mean your odds of matching 5of5 is improved by playing from a pool of 10 numbers instead of 53?RJOhRJO

RJOh-Although the methods I use are different than the ones you describe for reducing the number pool, the philosophy and strategy behind it is the same:Provide improved odds for all potential prize wins some of the time, at the expense of eliminating chances to win major prizes some of the time(Your methods are excellent, btw, and show that you spend a considerable amount of time studying these games! As you've probably seen, no single method of analysis works for all games, or even consistentl

Unfortunately, because of the complexity, it will be some time before even the concept can be revealed. (Probably after I ap

When I wrote if it were offered on the Lottery Post website , I wasn't talking about an invitation to join posted to a discussion forum. What I had in mind is dead already if Todd gives it the thumbs down. I was talking about Todd providing an area for lottery pools. Try to visualize the following: Another menu button added on the left side of the page. It could be named LP Pools. Under this button are three submenus consisting of:Ongoing Pools (Locked and viewable only to the members of each p
