Pa. Lottery to pull the plug on Super 7Reply
If no jackpot winner the jackpot money will be rolled to the lower tiered prize winners. Saw this in the local paper last night. If Pa lottery wanted to keep the game,they could have moved the drawing dates to Mon Thurs, of course that's when they run mix n match. Md lottery moved their multimatch game from Wed Sat when they added powerball to Mon Thurs. This game (Md' Multi MAtch) has better odds than the Pa Super 7. Pa used to have the match 6 that was just like Md's Multimatch. Plu

Wheels for Texas Two StepReply
The problem with these wheels is that you either gear it to maximum coverage to increase the probability of a hit or you try to get enough overlap for multiple prizes. If going for the maximum coverage which makes sense as it's already so hard to win, the tickets are exclusive, if one wins something, the others will definitely not win so it's difficult to make your money back to any degree. The goal is to lose as little as possible while playing a good spread while you wait for a big hit but wit

If the State Replaced the lotto or a new game beats the lotto will you start from 0Reply
Hi pumpi. This is all good food for thought, but there is this one variable that won't let it happen: The current game set-up(s) work flawlessly in that the states make tons of money already based on the natural odds. With this in mind, it kinda goes back to the don't fix what ain't broken menatality...you know. This is why the payouts are fixed according to the difficulty level of matching the winning combinations. The more numers involved, the harder and with less numbers it's easier. Payou

First time in the Texas Pick 3Reply
Interesting. The P3's tend to be RNG draws but the programs would be seeded from accepted physical random variables such as the exact time that the program was invoked, the number of processes running on the system, how long the computer had been up and clock drift which is usually due to environmental factors like temperature. If repeats are occurring more often then expected then that means there's an awful lot of consistency in how the computers are being used at each draw such as the prog

What do you do to Increase your Odds of Winning?Reply
Hi there. IMHO, everything you say here makes perfect sense and is true...especially your first two sentences. There must be some sort of logic behind one's mathematical approach when it comes to playing Pick games. Reasons like this hasn't happened in this many days , and this can't happen , or that can't happen again have burned me many times. This is a numbers game and all the same numbers are in there before the next draw...just like the last time. This simply means that what happened las

Scratch offs in Tennessee
What is your take on the games here in TN? I feel they are better than in KY (Pay off wise) but not quite up to par with GA scratchers. Overall I like them. I do wish I would hit higher payouts more often but who doesnt :) I have found the game with the best odds to be Jingle Jumbo Bucks at 1 in 2.56 or something like that. Only problem is they are only out around Christmas time. I do not recall seeing anyone hit the $250,000 jackpot on this $10 game though. Jingle Millionare Bucks j

Would you keep playing?
I love reading the book Lottery by Patricia woods. Actually I listen to it since its an audio. The other day I was listening to it and there was a section where a character said she would stop playing MM because her friend, the main character, had already won the WA state lottery and that the odds of her winning and having a close friend who won is astronomical (sp?) I was thinking the same thing. Thank goodness no one I know has ever won, because I think its true, the odds of two cl

tickets for lotteryReply
Tickets wouldn't sell if people didn't think they had a chance to win. Whether it's a good idea for you, is up to you. I don't understand what you want. Actually, I don't see any other reason to buy a ticket...you say to get or win a lottery. Uh, I think that's all that happens...either you win or you don't. You live in Pakistan? You have a lottery? What are your odds? Ok, the odds of any jackpot game are going to be awfully awful..lol Play a ticket or two if you want...and go
