If you were the Lottery Director?Reply
TNPlayer has some great ideas there. I'd play his lottery. But I should point out to maverick that Take 5 is the way it is because so many people buy tickets, to the tune of about 900,000 per draw. That would make rollovers rare, and when they would occur, you could expect 6-7 top prize winners because then Take Five would really fly off the shelves. Changing T5 to a jackpot game would require increasing the matrix to a 5/42-5/46, or something like that. And I'm sure popularity would wane, seein

Streak of jackpot winners is bad luck for Powerball lottery salesReply
Easy solution for these cry babies. Have a pick 3,4 game. It's the most popular game in the country and you automatically get 50% on all sales daily. The payoff to odds ratio is the best any state lottery has to offer so the player goes for it. IL has had a daily pick 3 game since 1972 and hasn't had to change the payoff to odds ratio or matrix once (except for their bonus draws), so they must still be making money. 33 years of success. The jackpot games are changing their matrices like

Someone hit mega - needs a fixReply
Quote: Originally posted by dvdiva on March 3, 2005Not true. Powerball has broken 300 million twice. The big game once but never played that. I don't complain about jackpots if it matches the prize. Quinto's jackpot is now 4.8 million in cash equal to 1.86 times it's odds. For mega/powerball to match that odds ratio it would have to have a jackpot of 500 million. For a game where the odds are 135 million to one not even to hit it's odds as an annuity is a sign of a broken game. Something that th

Your Position on position tracking
Hello and Merry Holidays.I'm new and delurking on this board with the following questions:How many of you track positional hits? I'm in California and I have been playing the Fantasy 5. I have been using Lotto Pro and Lottowhiz for statistical tracking. Positional tracking is intriguing to me but I assume you have to have exact draw positions in order to make it work. Lottowhiz in their drawing entry only allows you to enter the drawings in ascending order (lowest # 1st, highest # last). I don't

Favorite casino gameReply
Roulette is my favorite game at the local casino. I only play the outside/even money bets with my system. It never fails that the pit boss and croupiers try very hard to break my winning streaks.1. Changing croupiers every 15 minutes.2. Each croupier bounces the ball out of the wheel at least twice.3. Ball is replaced and/or weighed constantly.I played one time wearing sunglasses and the pit boss asked me to remove them. What's up with THAT!!Although I haven't played it in a real casino; I like

Some information about PowerballReply
Lottomike powerball and megamillions was initially set up because the people in America wanted a game who's jackpots would grow from draw to draw. So they put it together. After some time the people complained that the pots weren't big enough so they changed the game to favor bigger pots by changing the game (added more balls) the odds were also increased. The people were satisfied once again that the pots were growing. As the popularity of the games grew so did the amount of players. So in fact

Sedertree Matrix Wheeling SystemReply
How come when I did it, it said Cannot compute Matrix-Please re-adjust settings ? I have over 25 draws on file._________________Reddog,George can certainly correct me if I am in error, but I suspect what your problem is, is that you are thinking that a sed file i.e. Profile for SMWS (set of specific parameters) is going to show the exact same results for every state's game that it is used for.....But since these profiles are run against particular state's drawfiles, and each state has a d

Online lotteries in BrazilReply
The only problem I see here is the regulation is based on, You shall play no lottery but your own. and not on whether the game is legitimate in its own right.Speaking for the lottery community, I believe players would prefer the option to pick and choose among all available legitimate lottery games being played nation and world wide.Prohibiting lottery games purely on the basis of location goes against the very freedoms we aspire to. This of course should not be confused with stamping out crim
