Powerball multi-state lottery game to change rulesReply
Look. If I buy 2 Powerball tickets, MY odds are going to be 1 in 97.5 million. I own both tickets. I'm not making millions of combinations disappear either. There is still 195 million possible outcomes, 2 of which I have. I'm just simplifying a fraction.

Has anyone here read Gail Howard's book-Lottery Master Guide?Reply
If you read some of her strategies and then pick a game and track the drawings, you will see a lot of her Never plays be drawn.....i.e., never play all evens, all odds, never play an exact sequence, such as 7 14 21 28 35 42, etc..

What would you do if you had to share your jackpot?Reply
I guess we are both misunderstood souls. LOL I never meant to imply that you thought you were better than other people in any of my posts and am sorry for your inference. I was only saying that if someone is disappointed because others also hit a jackpot, it's understandable, but certainly not something to get terribly upset about, considering the odds are that you'll never win anyway. Anyway, I never tell others how to feel. Only giving my opinion and asked what would make you p'd off.

You're in luck. I talked to the managers at Powerball, and they've made special arrangements for you. When you buy your tickets, pay $2 and they'll let you pick 2 sets of numbers, so your odds will be only 1 in 97.5 million.

Shoot, at $400,000,000, I wouldn't care if 10 people won. Of course, with MM and PB, that isn't very likely to happen, given the odds of the game. There's always the possibility a few others will win the jackpot, but not many.

I don't recall reading or hearing anything about it though they seem to be doing well enough as it is now. I doubt they'd change it in response to Powerball's changes unless MM adds another good size (at least similar to MM's current average state population) state though I don't think there are many, if any left, I'd have too look since I don't know all the states are that are already involved with either game. If Florida had joined Mega Millions they probably would have changed their odds to s

Oh and BTW if you check out the new MegaMillions page you will see that some states average about one MM JP per year. I bet with PB some states don't get a JP for years and It will be even longer with the new odds.

It doesn't really matter to me. It just means bigger jackpots and the jackpot will grow faster. Powerball is a game of fate even with its current odds.

Strange Odds for New Florida Scratch GameReply
I don't know if you noticed or not but the odds for the top prize are higher than the 2nd AND 3rd prize. I think they are trying to increase the top prizes to entice play. Could be a new thing. Who knows.

would you play last weeks winning numbers in this weeks drawReply
I was initially referring to playing a number combination of either either a regular six number game or a 5+1 game again that had already won. I then went on about how I wouldn't use a combination that already came up matching 3+1, 4+0 or better but that was also referring to 5+1 games. I know all about numbers repeating themselves, since it's very noticeable and I have made multiple posts here about it. I see I accidentally left out the word combination in my initial post and probably should ha
