Winning at NY Take 5Reply
Fast, You hit second place 6 or 7 times?? Great googa-mooga son! How long you been playin'? It aint The NY State Lottery's fault that nobody wins a SM jackpot very often. The blame for that lies with lottery players. Since all the lottery players in NY are PO'd about not very many JP's being won, they dont play. That only makes the problem worse. If more people played, there'd be more JP's won. Anyway, where can you find better odds to win a Mil?? You cant Hammer! Aint no state got a ga

Which wheel has the better odds?Reply
With the 2if5of56 wheel with 46 lines, you're guaranteed a $2 win if you play all 46 MB and playing all 56 WB you'll have all 5 winning WB numbers some where in the mix which gives you 46 chances to match 5of5 or to win the jackpot. More chances equal better odds but usually if I have a winner, it's in the first 20 lines.

How do they decide what a games odds should be?Reply
If you Google how to calculate lottery odds the search will return websites that will automatically calculate the odds for any game anywhere. It will also return websites that explain how the odd's are calculated, that's if you are inclined to do it yourself. Any lottery that tampered with a random number generator program would be a huge no-no and would make national headlines/news if they were caught doing it. That kind of news would be all over the TV from coast to coast. Consider Th

Mega Millions lottery winner recounts epic winReply
Those odds are for any two tickets before the results are known. Considering only two of the numbers where changed, it was highly likely that if he matched 6 numbers on one ticket, the other would have a four number match or 3 + 1.

Pet NumbersReply
I've been playing the same set of numbers in every Mega Millions draw for over a year. I haven't missed a draw, and haven't won anything. I don't do it because I think it make it more likely that I'll win, but because if I win, I want to win with those numbers. Those numbers mean something to me. I do buy extra tickets when the jackpot is high. I had four (my regular numbers plus three extra), including a quick pick, for Tuesday's draw. That does increase (ever-so-slightly) my odds of winn

Consecutive losing ticketsReply
Interesting info, TheGameGrl. Thanks! Shows that spending less with low risk, high reward might be the way to go most often. Was that $1 packet bought in PA? They aren't supposed to go more than 2.5x the odds without a win.

Probably in Ohio its state game Classic Lotto with a jackpot of $18.0M and odds of 1:14M of winning the jackpot will be looking attractive again for a week or so.
