Can AI Be Effectively Be Ued to Win a PB Jackpot?Reply
You can absolutely use AI to win the lottery, and it's even better than writing a bunch of numbers on poker chips or M Ms and picking them out of box. AI can choose a set of random numbers that have exactly the same chance of winning as any other random set of numbers, AND it can also tell you where you can buy tickets, how and where to claim any prize you win, and all sort of other things that won't improve your chances.

A mystery?? Nah. Not to me anyway. Not after reading Tokecap's incredibly good post above. (BTW - I think it's the single best post I've ever seen written on The LP, but that's just one man's opinion) Tokecap's post made it very clear to me that we as members of the lottery playing public have zero visibility as to how state lotteries run their businesses behind the scenes. All players can see is the results of the decisions they made. You're located in New York, so I know you're aware

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
When I logged in to Michigan Lottery, I had a promotion pop up saying if you buy $10 in Mega you'll get 5 free Lotto47 tickets...lmao. Give away some free tickets after the Lotto47 jackpot was won and reset...

$1.1 BILLION: Powerball jackpot increased in longest-ever winless streakReply
In response to Barramundi Yeah but the ticket isn't really yours until 1. You sign it 2. You present it to a lottery official right ? wrong ? I mean if it was from the day of the winning and you waited 6 months to claim it we all know the lottery doesn't award you interest on your winnings right? Just thinking out loud, that's all Have a shaggy day ShagE3

True, its up to the lottery gods to decide when to cap it off based on their budget strategy. Normally they cap it off around 5 - 7 million. But they have let it go up to 10 million before. Especially when the powerball is so high. So good luck

Just like you, I'm sure many players would think they'd make more money from extra ticket sales, but to answer your question requires me to ask you a question. That question is - WHAT extra ticket sales? Today's Florida Fantasy5 jackpots are way down. The winners prize pool contains 62% of all ticket sales for the sales period of the upcoming drawing. Single winner jackpots are now approximately $110,000 when prior to going to two draws per day they were approximately $200,000. 62% of $

Correct, that's how lotteries work. It's linked in the article, but this video may be a good refresher on how lottery jackpots are calculated.

There are some very smart folks who are a lot smarter than I am that routinely post here. Maybe they could weigh in and answer a question for me. A couple of years ago, The Florida Lottery added a midday drawing to their very popular daily Fantasy5 online game. All that did was lower jackpot amounts dramatically. Until that change, daily jackpots were in the $200,000 range. (When the Snowbirds landed in Florida, jackpots climbed to a range of $230,000 to $235,000.) Even in Snowbird seaso

my idea for a multi-state lotteryReply
At the dollar rate, that provides the lottery with a 28% margin. But at the five dollar rate (buy 5, get 6 lines), it shrinks to 15%. That's tough when they have to pay the retailer a 7% commission.

Good omen? Bird collision preceded NJ lottery winner's $90 million Mega Millions jackpotReply
I am glad that you have appreciation for the dignity of the bird, that it too is a bona fide member of this community of living things on planet Earth, and its contribution to the community of lottery players has been noticed with dignity and respect. I hope the bird is physically OK.
