Three states replacing Lotto South gameReply
1 in 5 million chance of winning and all you get is a cash value of 520 thousand, or 52 thousand a year for life. You would have to stay alive for 40 years just to make 2 million dollars. I'd stick with pick six with a rolling jackpot, my states pick six jackpot is 20 million with a 1 in 10 million chance of winning, double the odds for 40 times more money should be a easy choice.

Powerball lottery sales, starting this morning, going smoothlyReply
Increasing the number of players only increases the chance of someone else winning the grand prize. With fixed odds and fixed incremental rollover amounts to the jackpot there seems to be little benefit in adding more and more states to the game after a certain point.

Texas scratch-off with profit potentialReply
One of two remaining $2 million prizes for $2 million Spectacular has been found. There is still one out there somewhere. The odds are still good.I've been watching this game for several months. It's been 3 months since I've been able to find a ticket.Too bad they don't have a way to search for stores selling a particular game.

In another key program I have, I show a 1,2,3,4 as keys.........I like the 398 tonight also.I do not like playing all evens........all odds are due....that is why I eliminated the 008-808-208-408...now I do like the 108.........but you know where I look for my pairs and the 18 is not in there....I did consider the 308...so it is just a matter of deduction. I will probably get burned but I am not playing more than a couple bucks here...Michigan is bad ya dry.

random number generatorReply
Well, I can tell by your reply that you are not a software developer to make such an unkind and untrue comment. Of course there is nothing in software that reproduces the absolute true randomness such as occurs in nature, e.g., whether a point in outer space will be occupied by matter or be empty, but the measure of any random number generator is: under what conditions will it duplicate the same sequence of numbers. The algorithm in my program approaches true random scattering--the odds of an

Deflating some Results for a testReply
No, I wasn't suggesting that anyone was actually putting money on these. When I try a method I like to know how my method did against the odds . All I was trying to say was if you get more than 17-18 hits, your method is working better than just playing random numbers. We all strive to have a method that does better than random!!I tried something midday today in my 13 states that totally bombed ... not one winner!!

Penn. Lottery declares 1st raffle a successReply
I understand that 50% is the industry norm for a lotto game, but if scratch offs can pay 70% back then a special lottery game like this should also be able to. I think the 20 dollar value is fair as your odds of winning are pretty fair compared to a 2 dollar game like kingkong.
