N.Y. Lottery goes HollywoodReply
I'm almost certain that the $8,000,000 prize will be an annuity-only deal (and don't expect great odds either). The $50,000,000 prize, I'm not sure.

OH Lot 'O Play- The CatchReply
One should look at Lot'O Play as a 5/100 game with odds of 1:75,287,520 which are reduced to 1:6,273,960 as result of having 12 combinations on the board that can win a prize. Since the player can only choose one of those twelve combinations means it's mostly a quick pick jackpot game. Systems and software will have little effect on this game since most of the numbers and their positions on the boards are picked randomly by the terminals. Players who think systems and software give them an ad

Ohio players - Lot'O PlayReply
Lucky: I bought 2 seperate tickets today as well. Mine was written as No Instant Win, Try Again. But, I do believe that this will be part of the game and not a promotional thing.I am just wondering if this will be a computerized game of not?In order to have the odds as they have it for a jacpot win, 1 in 6,273,960 it could be computerized. It is hard to believe that 100 balls will be in a hopper and only 5 drawn for a jackpot win?We will see tomorrow on that one!

S.C. man claims $1 million Powerball lottery prizeReply
That question gets asked a million times, and the answer is always that about 75% of the winners used a Quick Pick to choose their numbers, and about 75% of the tickets played are Quick Picks. There's no magic there -- it's simple odds. Statistically, there is no significant advantage playing your own numbers vs. playing Quick Picks. That being said, I still prefer to play my own numbers. (To wheel.)

Ohio rolling cash 10/10/05Reply
Winning numbers were 10/10/05 - 02 06 20 21 24You matched 2x2 for $2, less than the overall odds of 1:10. Does lotto sorcerer allow you to make any adjustments?

pb hit or rollReply
Based on the odds, it will always roll. Of course that is not going to happen. Since it is now Sunday and it did roll last night, I have a feeling it will hit this Wednesday or next Saturday. Depends on the hype and the number of players. Brilliant of me!

I hate that PA's Lucky For Life is TWICE the cost of PA's Match 6/49 game, still, LFL is only 6/38, which is much better odds. Hence, I prefer it over Match 6.

Straights...what is their rate of return?Reply
WIN D -Payout percentage on GA straight Pick 3 is 50%. Payout percentage on Straight/Box is 49% - and I need to mod the page with the actual payouts - it should have been done when I last modded the game last Feb.Your odds for a payout on rearranged numbers (83.33%, to be exact) only apply if you play all of those five combinations. Otherwise they'll be the same as the original combination. Same principle applies with doubles.glj

Good luck with your choices.Odds favor Georgia's next drawn number including a 7, 9 or 3 (especially if it's a single). Those are now Georgia Combined's three longest-out digits.
