What Game Got You Started Playing the Lottery?Reply
Maryland Keno, back in the late '80s. Developed the spreadsheet with the odds, payouts and payout percentages. Haven't stopped doing that since.

It's getting hard to stay enthusiastic...Reply
Actually, I did that 1 week ago. The Jackpot was small so I diverted some of our money to a game with 10 times better odds and actually won like $78! So, I've just been using that money to play the other game while we still put our regular $$ in the Lottery Jackpot.

Do you consider a push as a win?Reply
A push in the lottery shouldn't be legal. It only looks like you get a better odd to Win oh did I say win, I see a win as more then I invested not a Push. What really is the odds of Winning if you take away the Pushes?

100 straight picks/ Can anyone hit better than 10% average?Reply
Holy crap!!! $100 per day? I'm not saying this isn't true, but I have some serious doubts. When I was just starting Pick-3 and knew nothing, it was nothing for me sometimes to buy 40-50 qp's per day (boxed though), which gave me almost 300% better odds than this fellow, and I was lucky to get 1 hit a week. I obviously lost a lot of money this way.

Playing Holiday instant tickets.Reply
I'll do that during Thanksgiving and Winter break. (College student on the Gulf Coast 9 months out of the year) I have played Jingle Jumbo Bucks in the past but not had luck. I like the odds though. However, Jumbo Jumbo Bucks (also a $10 ticket) is awesome. I would say that is my all time favorite instant ticket. (never had a loser) Good Luck!!!

Low Jackpots and the EconomyReply
Thanks for the info RJOh. There have been a few jackpots over $100 million over the past year. MM of course has had more, but I am sure as soon as PB goes into the new matrix change all the people who want more $100+ million jackpots should be happy. Even if it means that the odds of winning the actual jackpot will be going way up.

Virginia Lottery to award partial prizes for faulty gameReply
This shows the truth that how some lotteries can be controlled!!! Computerized lottery drawings are not fair to the public and if we really knew our True odds of winning then we all would not play these kind of games and the different lotteries would Lose Alot of money!!!! I Wonder what (Jim695) thinks about this Error on this game, lol. !!

Impact of cubed root calculators?Reply
There are 1000 possible straights. No matter how good a system is, even if it's just 10 sets of numbers to play daily, it still only covers 1 out of a hundred possibilities to come out right. If the system produces too many sets to play on a daily basis, it might not be worth the effort. The odds are against the system unless it produces profit in the long run. There are still 990 other possiblities that have a chance to come out no matter what anyone thinks.
