Take5 NYReply
T5 players in New York might be interested to know that there are still four numbers yet to be drawn in June. During most months, all 39 numbers are eventually drawn. (It does happen where a number has zero hits during any given month, but that doesn't happen very often.) Numbers 1, 2, 10 34 have yet to come out in June. It's almost mid month, so my guess is that they'll appear in the next couple of weeks. In my humble opinion, if they do hit, then they're what I call a Free Number . That me

Probability of winning with multiple ticketsReply
I too have had 'trouble' with what's being argued so passionately in this thread. When I lived in the Northeast, although I lived in New York State, I lived in close proximity to Pennsylvania. Every Fall The PA Lottery (for what I'm guessing is the last 20 years or more) holds their Millionaire Raffle. According to the raffles official rules, a maximum of 500,000 tickets can be sold. The PA Lottery has always advertised the odds for the raffle at 125,000 to 1 because there are 4 top prize w

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Ok, now that we have the historical data posted, many of you can run your own analysis. During the 2017-10-31 to 2025-04-04 run of MM, there were on average about 1.81 5 + 0 winners per draw. Now, there are only on average about 0.53 5 + 0 winners per draw... hmm, interesting, since the odds are slightly better now than before. There's on average a little more than 3.5 times more 5 + 0 winners in the previous run of MM. Additionally, our calculation of the odds of getting 5 + 0 a

The 3 positions are as independent of each other as the next draw is to previous draws... so 0 through 9 has a 10% chance of being drawn in any position. This extends from a pick 2 through a pick 5 (quinto) game. You can look at all 1,000 possible combinations of pick 3 draws and you will find 720 combinations where each digit is unique, 270 pairs and 10 triples. Even though there are more favorable outcomes if all 3 digits were different, there is no profit in playing 720 tickets... and the

classic questions on lottery forumsReply
Tucker is right... the odds of any 3 digit number combination appearing in 1 draw are always 1,000:1 You can change the odds by buying another ticket, to 1,000:2 no division allowed though, as it represents the ratio of possible outcomes to favorable outcomes. You can even change your perspective from a 3 digit combo to three consecutive games of 1 in 10, but the odds are still 1,000:1 in getting 3 in a row correct. The probability math states that in a discrete uniform distribution

Missing In MississippiReply
2658 draws and no 111? Ya know, sometimes these things take on a life of their own and that may be the case here. Because I'm a numbers weirdo, I have a benchmark number of draws cold that I look for, 6904 . Where the heck did that magic number come from? It's the total number of draws where the odds of a number NOT falling is exactly the same as the odds of a number falling in any given draw. So, for 6904 draws, the odds of 111 not falling at all in all those draws is 1

Canadian couple wins $70 million Lotto Max jackpot days after welcoming newbornReply
The OLG states that the odds of winning the Lotto Max (7/50) jackpot is 1 in 33,294,800. I did the calculations and it shows 99,884,400 total seven (7) number combinations of 50 numbers without repeat of the same seven numbers. Thereby, there is only one (1) seven number combination drawn from a total of possible 99,884,400 seven (7) number combinations. In my view the odds would be 1 in 99,884,400. Not 1 in 33,294,800 One Quick Pick of Lotto Max costs $5.00. for three (3) seven numb

UPDATE: Proposed changes to Mega Millions game will raise ticket price to $5Reply
After watching the Kate video I have reconsidered. It's the old triple whammy. High ticket price combined with high odds and a bundled Megaplier make this version a no go for me. If they would have just taken the mandatory megaplier money and increased the second prize instead of forcing the megaplier I probably would have considered playing. What is really making this a no go for me is having the megaplier forced on me if I buy a ticket. I can't say I will never buy a ticket for thi

Pennsylvania Cash Pop Starting November 18 2025Reply
Looking at their prizes, there are are 9 multipliers... X5 - 1:31.05 X7 - 1:75 X10 - 1:105 X15 - 1:180, The level needed to break even on playing all 15 X20 - 1:270 X25 - 1:630 X50 - 1:2,250 X100 - 1:4,125 X250 - 1: 15,000 So the odds depend on which multiplier is assigned to which number, because the odds of the actual draw are 1:15. So look at it like this... on $1 bet the odds are 15,000 to one on getting an x250 AND you need to beat the 15 to 1 odd
