Claiming lottery winnings anonymously in CaliforniaReply
thanks for the info. Now it's just a simple matter of beating 176 million to one odds for Mega Millions and 42 million to one odds for SuperLotto. Seeing how we had to beat a billion to one odds in order to be born, that shouldn't be a problem.

how to calculate the odds of this
hi all , I am backtesting some systems and I would like to know if someone can give me the mathematical formula to figure out the odds of the following --- Lets say just for example Im playing 29.6 % of all #s and yet none of my #s come out for 17 consecutive drawings. Would the odds be 29.6% divided by 2,divided by 2 ,divided by 2 ,etc... 17 x ? thanks in advance , J

Does anybody know what number the Florida Lucky 7 Raffle is atReply
Assume 970K so you can calculate your odds with that.

What is a lottery system? What distinguishes a lottery system from guesses, dreams and quick picks?Reply
Depends on the prize, if the 10,000 to 1 odds were for $10,000 and the 50 to 1 odds were for $50, I would take the 10,000 to 1 odds if both cost a dollar. Adding $49 to the dollar I have is not going make much difference in my life but adding $9,999 to it would.

If I understand your logic, you're saying it make no sense to buy a Fantasy Five ticket which has 1:376000 odds of winning $100,000+ when you can buy a pick3 ticket which has 1:1000 odds of winning $600. That logic probably makes more sense to you then it ever will to me because losing money trying to win $600 doesn't make as much sense to me as losing the same amount trying to win millions of dollars. I guess that's why state offer different games with different size prizes and odds, something

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Sometimes the odds seem strange here, too. On Money Money Money, the odds of getting $100 are 1 in 37.5. But I've only gotten 2 $100s the whole game time. The other $100+ prize was a $200 win. Odds of a $40 win are 1 in 120, yet that's what showed up today. I'm happy about that as the $10 tickets have so rarely produced over $20 lately, but still..
