Mix & Match the end?Reply
Two things: 1. Mix and Match's demise is news to me. So far, my hit rate has been better than average, though the cash payout has not. So far all my winners have been free tickets, the very first one also won $2. That's it, but I still have faith. And yes, until otherwise, I'm sure it will be around a while. Yes there is a new game the end of April, I read the fine printed letter also through a magnifying glass, and what I can determine the game will be Treasure Hunt, $1 ticket; pi

lotto gender...:who has better odds?Reply
Thanks, Coin Toss. You're going to save me a lot of time. For years I've been fixing my hair, putting on lipstick and a wonderbra before driving down to 7-11. Somebody once told me that adding cleavage cuts the odds in half.

lotto gender...:who has better odds?Reply
The odds are in favor of the men since 68% of pathological or compulsive gamblers are men, and only 32% women. This is according to the latest studies.

More Pick5/6 winners: Do you think?Reply
Those challenges are what they are. As far as I know, none of the challengers are working as a group to pick combinations to play. If all the winning numbers were in one group the odds of picking the winning combination would be 1:792 but I doubt if anyone did that several times they would continue to participate. So far no one has done that yet.

MM 470 Million!!Reply
I'm a retailer in NJ and my printout from 11:36 pm says that someone here had all 5 numbers and the mega ball number and selected the cash option for 221 million. I hope it was my store, my odds are 1 in roughly 6,000 (total number of retailers in the state).

$370 MILLION: Mega Millions sets all-time lottery jackpot recordReply
I agree, when it gets this big, the 2nd prize should be bigger, although I guarantee that there will be a very high number of 2nd prize winners and possibly 2 or more 1st prize winners. Mega Millions has been in a slump the last year, so this excitement is a breath of fresh air. People want large jackpots, odds have nothing to do with anything once jackpots grow past a certain point.

$355 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot increasedReply
There's NO way nobody's winning Tuesday's draw. This is what people want from multi-state games. Screw better odds, it doesn't really matter when the jackpot is so big. Just think...someone is sitting out there right now hoping it's them, but for 1 or 2 people, it actually will be. Can you imagine?!?! Half of America is crossing their fingers....good luck!!!

Once upon a time there was a lottery player named Henry Halves the Odds. We'll just call him Henry. The Mega Millions jackpot was up so Henry went to play a ticket. He deicded on a quick pick this time and heade for a lotto outlet. <insert Twilight Zone music here>. This was a very unique lottery outlet, and behind the counter where the clerk ran your tickets was a board with 175,711,536 lights on it. Henry asked the clerk what was with all the lights, and the clerk explained

Keno FiltersReply
Yeah..it takes a few tries to win Keno..the problem I see with your Keno is that the lower tier prizes really suck, so if you lose a few times you are out of the game. In Ontario as long as you play the 4 / 20 game you can win $100 ....sometimes several times a week, the odds are 1/189. That way you have money to pay for tickets and stay in the game.

It is matter of somatics, or point of view, each ticket by itself is a possible outcome of the current draw, he has 400 tickets, each has one of the possible outcomes, the odds for each ticket doesn't change. He posseses 400 of the 175M possible outcomes (the 175M possible outcomes never change) in the game. The game contains 175M possible outcomes that are independent of who plays the game. He posseses 400 of the possble outcomes, that means there are 175,000,000 - 400 outcomes that he DO
