Michigan Challenge Day 5Reply
To JustOnce,If you are a full-time college student, your time would be better used studying instead of continueing to repost the same opinions. At the end of the challenge the results will speak for themselves and if you don't like the way Sedertree does his math, do your own. I've read several other posts about calculating odds and everybody does it different to come up with an answer they like.RJOh

OddsReply
I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics and I know that the odds of winning the powerball are 1 out of 80,000,000, meaning that you have a greater chance of being struck by lightning or getting into a fatal car accident while driving to buy the lottery ticket than winning the jackpot.

How much money is enough!?Reply
I live in Arkansas, which has no lottery at all. However, I live about an hour and a half from Missouri (a Powerball state); and Illinois (a MegaMillions state) is only another hour away. I just started playing the lottery, making a ticket-buying trip every seven weeks. Lotteries make no sense as gambling (the odds are way too low); but, if someone is giving away millions of dollars several times a week, it makes no sense not to buy a ticket. 1:135,145,920 is infinitely better odds than 0 -- a p

RJOh: There are only three games I play on at least a semi-regular basis: Powerball, Connecticut Classic Lotto (6/44) and Mega Millions. The NY Lotto 6/59 I haven't played in six months, thanks to the ridiculous 40% prize return. If I lived in Ohio, I would NOT play the Ohio 6/49 game because of the low-balling of the cash value. As for why single-state games seem to grow faster, it's because of the lower jackpot odds.

MegaMillions/Powerball ticketsReply
In huge odds games like Powerball and Mega Millions it really doesn't matter to have them all on the same ticket. In very rare cases would you win over the tax amounts. In smaller games especially if you wheel numbers i would say try to get seperate tickets. So in big games don't worry about it I would say...that's my two cents! haha good luck to all.

coming soon.. the big BIG gameReply
Of course they would play. Most people have no idea what the odds are playing mega millions or power ball. Would I spend a dollar for a chance at a billion? Dam right I would.

Many of you know me as the author of Lotto Cheatah Jackpot Winning Lottery Software (no, it's not an ad!). My software has hit multiple 4/5's twice this month, came real close to the Jackpot..so Thu. morning (midnight,1,2,3 am) I'm at the ny lotto website looking for Wed draw results.. and they are not there! No Wed NY Lotto numbers. No Wed Take 5 numbers. This is very unusual as this website always has the numbers posted no later than 30 minutes after the draw. The numbers were finally posted w

Hey Visiondude, my main man.... :)Reply
I thought you pick 6/42 numbers and match 3 was the deal, but if you have to pick 3/42 numbers and match 3 that changes the odds to 1:11480. RJOh
