Scratch Game PayoutsReply
Gee Jimmy, looks like us in PA aren't as bad off as we would like to think in terms of % pay out. I keep track, and it pretty much agrees with what i buy, and just like slots, the higher demonimations pay higer %. I'll repeat my question here: As newer games are issued, don't the average odds of winning anything seem to get higher.? For example, the original $5 Bingo game was about 1 in 2.5, then 1 in 3, now it's one in 4. Like wise other games, the average $1 game was about 1 in

Lottery number strategies subject of newspaper investigationNews Story
The odds are long. The drawings are random. And the house keeps a much greater share of wagers than other forms of gambling.In sum: The lottery cannot be beaten. There is no system that can improve your chances of winning the lottery, period, says Mike Orkin, a California mathematician who has written extensively about gambling odds.Yet the quest for an ever-elusive winning lottery strategy is alive and well and for sale.On a quiet, dead-end street in Denville stands the headquarters of Doubl

A discussion of the math, probability and theories of the the LotteryReply
Tom - You are just the person I need to talk to. I'm retired - sorta - but have spent many hours on the Lotto Texas drawings. Started and learned some things with the Scratch-Offs, but have figured out some things related to the 'value' of certain numbers. I am a firm believer that the numbers chosen (I use chosen loosely) are, well, let's just say related to month-day-year. Something else of interest - look at the winners zip and address on scratch tickets and you will find a constant number in

What's your main purpose of logging onto Lotterypost.comReply
I look to see what's going on and if anyone has figured 'anything' out. I am in a continual debate with my brother (I don't bother with anyone else) about whether or not drawings are 'Random'. First, the Scratch tickets are NOT random - when you put a Guarantee of X amount of winners per pack ? Then, how can that be random? Now, WHERE the ticket packs are distributed? That could be considered random with a jackpot winner every 20,000 pack #s or so, depending on how many jackpots in the game vs.

New System. It's awesome. Pick 3 and pick 4.Reply
Yeah, I agree - too confusing. So - I was looking for some, well, just some general help in my belief that the DRAW numbers could be pre-determined, and I came across this article with a guy who works for the Lottery on one of the popular blog sites. Just google Lottery Lucky Numbers and you can find the article. And, I truly believe this guy DOES work for one of the companies like G-TECH for one of the States Lottery. He answers questions and man! Did he ever hit on some of mine - He never did

Are you having problems??Reply
BobP, the reason it is saying you must do a clean install is certainly because you're trying to install a 64-bit version of Windows 7. Also, to do an upgrade I believe you have to start the install from within Windows -- not boot from the install disc or USB stick. Scratch that. I looked it up and I guess Microsoft does not allow an upgrade from XP to Windows 7 that preserves your files and programs. Here's a link to Microsoft's instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/upgr

does state lottery officials know where the jackpot instant tickets go what town ect,Reply
I believe this is how its done in Texas. a. The lottery firm with the contract designs the scratch tickets, or adopts one used by another contractor. b. The contractor, using confidential guidance by the lottery, prints the tickets including the specific number of winners. The total approximates the state/player shares with the state getting the larger share. c. The tickets are bundled in packs and sent to a warehouse in Austin, Tx for distribution. d. UPS (not the post office)

How To Determine Winning Scratch-Off Lotto Tickets – TexasReply
Oh yeah, I forgot how detailed TX is in their publication of lottery data, more than any other state. I don't buy the pack number to zip code association, as that would be a random allocation based on store orders of packs. Otherwise, if it was targeted, then TLC would be guilty of fraud. But let's separate your two different analysis: 1. location of top prize tickets 2. identification of winning tickets within a pack 1. As far as locating where top prize tickets are, does the kno
