N.D. Lottery wrestles with credit card buying optionsReply
(no I haven't been on LP all day. LOL...working from home and just got back on) Coin Toss writes: The question about the matrix changing brings up a good point- if the ticket was considered still good, the player's chances are reduced even more. I wonder what would happen in such a situation. Coin Toss, can you tell me why you think your chances are worse? I realize the odds change when even 1 number is added, but I kept my 6 numbers when FL changed from a 6/49 game to a 6/53 game a

Matrix change: Powerball to get much harder to win?Reply
'Harder to win'. Put that into the proper context. Right now, to win the Jackpot is 1 in 146 million. To me, when you get over 1 in about 50,000, the odds mean NOTHING. I mean, being honest: what in the heck is the difference between 1 in a million, 1 in 50 million, 1 in 100 million, and 1 in 146 million ? Unless you are a lucky sperm, the odds just don't matter to me much, you are either going to get lucky, or not. Period. \ To me, they could add a couple more balls, and it s

When pick 3 lottery was played on the streets by they bookies before the states took over they used to use the 9 th race at the track to determine what the numbers was... whatever horse came in 1st 2nd 3rd that was the number for that day. These bookies new they had a cash cow not only did they know there was no way for the general public to win consistently they knew they could control the out come of the game and either take or lay off on certain bets. Hence the government made gambling on

The Implications of Cracking the Code..Reply
It was probably a mathematician who figured the payout amounts that make coming up with a system that regularly beat the odds impractical. The payoff odds give the house the edge, but the big profits come from the volume of play. So it was just as important to design a game that the players believed they could beat. When people make a few box bets they should hit 2 out of 3 digits many times so the conclusion is it should be easy to find that 3rd digit. I have a device called Number Blas

Worst bet in the house = keno Second worst bet in the house = slot machines Come on people, if you go into a casino are you gonna play the known sucker games?

Hoosier Lotto in a dry spellReply
Thats exactly what the want you to believe; yet, Indiana has more powerball winners than anyone. You should stop in any store in Indiana and ask the clerks how many people are happy with the Lottery. I was just in the store this morning and hear, everybody is talking about how screwed up it is . Do you honestly think that sales data is the issue. I think not. I dont care what anyone thinks, a Lottery that has a player population larger than another will have higher amounts of payouts than say

Well, against the who Know or are said to Know better , a person who Really knows do can and does increase his chances of winning a lot, if there is no tampering with the draw's results.
