State vs Powerball vs MegaReply
I used to think State because the odds are so much better but I've had about the same amount of success as the multi-state game, in other words, I don't win jack shyyyte.

figuring the odds (?)Reply
Hey 305, yes now that these have been re-ordered the are worse! I don't know how that affects the odds. They say top prizes may increase proportionally. If this is true then that might explain why the last guy who 1 million in 200 million Spectacular took home over $700,000 while you get $650,000 as a cash option with BDB

figuring the odds (?)Reply

Applications of Probability and StatisticsReply
Dream on, if someone knew how to be the grand prize winner of the next PowerBall drawing then they would be buying the winning ticket for themselves. All anyone can tell you is what they are doing to try and improve their odds of winning and if they haven't won yet then you know how well that's working. At least when you get free advice on playing the lotteries, you get your money worth even if it is a hassle to read.

Posting PicksReply
Posting your picks doesn't change the odds of them being drawn and if your picks are for one of the jackpot games then they aren't likely to come up regardless of what you do as can be verified by checking the top predictors statistics.

Win Your Lottery by Lotto-Logix Is Now AvailableReply
The book's good, although parts of it like the 2 if 3 wheel are a little misleading. The odds of winning any given draw with that system are actually 1 in 20(ish) not 1 in 8. However, the book is filled with useful info and tricks.

has anyone ever sued the lottery for misleading on scratchers?Reply
The odds on the tickets applies to all the tickets printed for that game, you just had a sampling of 100 tickets which doesn't represent the distribution of prizes for the thousands of tickets printed.

What's with NY Sweet Million??Reply
I think most jackpot game players like a game that features a roll-over jackpot. In order to entice more players to play Sweet Millions, my suggestion to NY would be to roll over the JP if there's no winner. I dont think they'll lower the odds by making it a 5/40 game. If the state wants to keep SM, they'll have to do something with it. I just dont see how it can last the way it stands right now. If they opt not to keep it, then what will they replace it with??? The crazy thing is you

Ohio Classic Lotto jackpot looking good againReply
I can't figure, there were 440 OCL predictions on the prediction page and with overall odds of 1:54 of having a winning ticket there were only 3 winning tickets and they were only matched 3's. This OCL jackpot could roll a long time before anyone wins it. Oh well, there's PB and if OCL hasn't been hit by next Monday, maybe I will play it again then.

Mass. has the best scratchers of any states that I have been to. Good odds / return payout and the chance to win $1 Million from a $5 scratcher
