Random Skew Vs BiasReply
Games like WV Cash25(6/25) and OH Rolling Cash5(5/39) which favors odds numbers have more odd numbers in their number pools which may be why more odd numbers come up. My rule of thumb is several small random samples of a number pool will have the same mix as the whole number pool.

Illinois Lottery Mega Tripler PromoReply
Well, good news for the people winning these prizes [$2, $3, $7, or $10] with "Mega Tripler" in Illinois. I wonder what are the odds of people getting "Mega Tripler?"

N.C. Lottery to introduce $10 scratch gameReply
Well, consider that there are 100 counties in NC, each filled with numerous ticket retailers. The average scratch-off ticket has about 5-20 top prizes. Your odds of getting that big jackpot prize are fairly slim. There are plenty of other monetary prizes to win, but again, they are scattered across the entire length of NC, with the smallest prizes the most plentiful.

Why Western States Win So OftenReply
Every lottery loser who asks the question WHY ME? only has to look at the odds of winning to find the answer, but every jackpot winner who asks the same question because he wants to do it again is not as lucky.

Lottery headlines I'd like to seeReply
MM has a record jackpot and I'm the sole winner. Of course the odds of MM actually having a record (of all time) jackpot are about the same as me winning it.

Hi I am interested as I play it in Mass. 1-80. Any help you can give would be appreciated as I don't go over 7 as the odds are too high.

ALL States Night Picks 7/3Reply
No one beats the odds. But I think playing straight and getting one, even to only just break even makes playing a little bit more fun.
