Lotteries long for 'jackpot fever'Reply
Lotteries need to try proven concepts of creating volume sales to bring in revenue. Prime examples are Wal-Mart, Target, Costco, Sam's Club and BJ's wholesale mammoth daily sales, continuing to expand locations by offering discounts ... make their money through volume sales of excellent very desirable goods. Stores which don't go belly up. Lowering odds (hopefully back to original game matrices) effectively creates a fire sale on tickets which will multiply sales exponentially and hold

% of Lottery Players That Make a ProfitReply
Good info Rjoh!, in P3 50cents for every $1 spent is the odds factor stacked against anyone who places the game and the payout is out is 500 for a $1 bet with 1000 #s....

I agree with Konane, tg636 and many others. Lower the matrix. I mean, even a state game with 1:22 million odds is tough to win. Sometimes I wish I wasn't addicted to my 4 Lotto cards that I play twice a week. Right now any more would be way too much for me to spend, and I'd rather play a game with better odds. If I won $100,000 or even $10,000 I'd be thrilled. I also would like to see higher second third prizes. A few weeks ago I got 3 numbers and won $5.50 and in over 12 years I

did you quit playing when.....Reply
I quit when I read that the 75 million dollar powerball jackpot won in NC, in reality, is a 24 million dollar payday. This women beat the odds to win, and gets less than a third of the jackpot. It's no wonder people are quiting.

lol ok nice guess. i not sure but i think the mega millions is done by a computer drawing with out the ball's ,if so the odds of 41 coming in three times in the same spot have to be real high maybe in the trillion's.

yea i agree that is very odd if you look into pass drawing you'll never see this, 41 came in 4 times out of 3 drawing the odds of that are to high to count, now iam a bit worried if this is just a set up to get our money , iv never seen this in my time playing the game or even the supper lotto .

AMAZING: Minnesota man wins back-to-back lottery jackpotsReply
The MegaMoney here is 5 numbers. First 4 numbers from 1 to 44 and the MegaBall 1 to 22 Odds are 1:2,986,522 according to the FL web site Last week there was a news article announcing a woman won it a second time (not in a row, but still, twice with those odds!!) She won $2M on Jan 30 and split a jackpot (winning $320K) in 1998. Maybe I'm playing the wrong game! But I really think, in most cases, it's just being at the right place at the right time. (they were quick picks)

The odds are are almost atronomical... The odds of winning once are 1 in ... (31!)/((31-5)!)/(5!)=169,911 So twice in a row is...169,911 x 169,911 28,869,747,921 Hmm...about 1 in 28.87 billion
