Tracking Ball Set ChangesReply
Ayenowitall,place a vacuum sweeper on a nice very shiny floor. Place two feathers a couple inches from the sweeper, now add a little weight to one feather only. Turn on the sweeper. Question... Which feather do you suppose will get sucked into the sweeper first? That bit of difference is all that it takes to change the odds or don't you think so?Teufellj...

Mega BillionsReply
i think it could work, but maybe if it were something along the lines of 5/99+1/70. the odds would be really hard, but it wuld mean huge jackpot runs.

635.6 million to one odds!!? Are you f**king crazy!!? There's almost no way anyone can win that! The only people who want $1 billion jackpots are the lottery folks so they can make more money off of people's stupidity.

To INCREASE sales REDUCE the PB MatrixReply
Greg,Most states already have a 6/49 game with odds of 1:14M of winning, they add PowerBall or MegaMillions to attract extra players who are interested in larger jackpots. If PowerBall and MegaMillions become easier to win, their jackpots will be smaller and they will no longer attract those extra players.RJOh

To INCREASE sales REDUCE the PB MatrixReply
Greg,I have to agree with you that Powerball is due for a change. These big jackpot games get stagnant and a new matrix is good for everyone.Your 5/38 + 1/36 matrix results in odds of 1:18,069,912. Seven times easier to win. The starting jackpot would need to be reduced to $2 million, and a high roll would hit $30 million once every year or two. How do you propose that this would infuse zeal and passion into Powerball players?

To INCREASE sales REDUCE the PB Matrix
Anybody here have Powerball Boredom (PB?) [how ironic the PB initials!]Let me tell you something: yes, PB NEEDS to change but to this:Pick 5 numbers from 1-38.Yes, you heard that correctly: 1-38And ONE number from 1-36.Yes, this will lower the odds. But it will INCREASE SALES!No, it will NOT result in an increase in the amount of winners. But it WILL result in an increase in the amount of PLAYERS!How do I know this? Well, I am not all-knowing, but if they REALLY want to infuse this game

Someone hit mega - needs a fixReply
Quote: Originally posted by bobby623 on March 2, 2005I think 1 in 170,000,000 will probably hurt the game more than it will help, but then most lottery profits come from players who are basically ignorant when it comes to odds, etc. No doubt many will keep spending their money and attribute their losses to bad luck.Again, personally, I think I could manage to live a pretty good life with just a couple million!!Yea I'm REALLY beginning to decide not to play MM anymore. Who needs it? ... Wow I jus
