Millionaire For Life ...ripoffReply
The trend toward $5 as minimum bet does seem likely to continue. Looks like PA is headed in the same direction, we're on the list for the new game. I've played Cash4Life maybe 2 dozen times and never did particularly well with it. Not likely to play the $5 version. Even the odds on the $2 version seemed crazy high even for the lower end prizes. I agree with you 100%. Bring out a decent $1 game with a reasonably good jackpot and achievable odds on the lower level prizes and we'd be all ov

would you rather win 1, 10, 50, 100, or 500 million $Reply
I didn't say this game exists. It was a rhetorical question -- would you bet $2 on a 1 in 53 billion chance of winning $6 million? Apparently so, because you said that any game that awards $6M for $2 is ok. How bad do the odds of winning have to get before you say no? 1 in 800 billion? 1 in a trillion cubed? This is ridiculous that you do not consider the odds of winning when deciding whether to play. The bad casino gamblers play triple zero roulette when double zero is available. They play

would you play a multi country lottery?Reply
The idea is interesting. For me it would depend on the cost, the odds, and jackpot amount/growth rate along with the lower tier payout amounts compared to what any current games offer. Somehow I fear that the cost and odds would not be favorable. But, the dollar amounts might be tempting enough for an occasional monster jackpot play.

How Astronomical Is It To Get The Number Right In Each Column?Reply
So what your post shows is that in a 6/49 game, where the data per column is sorted ascending, each column has 44 possible numbers instead of 49. So on a per column basis, each number, in a fairly drawn game has a modified expectancy... 1/44 (0.0227) rather than 1/49 (0.0204) when considering sorted over drawn order. Since 5 numbers are not possible in each column, it looks to reduce the odds as C(49/6) has 13,983,816 combinations, while C(44/6) has 7,059,052 combinations. Interesting observatio

You Can't Lose If You Don't PlayReply
Playing 128 pick 3 numbers the probability of an exact number hit is 12%, 1 in 8.3. This equates to the probability of not hitting to be 1 in 1.14, 88%. If we take the exact odds approach (though unlikely to occur) and assume 1 in every 8 draws will hit playing 128 numbers with a cost of $256 (your example) $2048 will be spent. Offset this by a win of $744 (your example) this leaves a loss of $1304 for the 8 drawing campaign. Your example win of $744 indicates more than just a str

my idea for a multi-state lottery
1) Choose 6 numbers from 1 to 68. 2) Tickets cost $1. 3) Match all 6 to win the jackpot, which starts at $25 million. 4) 10 cents of each ticket gets added to the jackpot. 5) Match 5 of 6 to win the 2nd prize of $100,000. 6) Buy 5, get one free. For $5, you get 6 lines, which is either 6 QP or your playslip of 5 sets of 6 numbers plus one QP. 7) Both prizes are all cash (subject to taxes, of course, we can't get around that). No annuity BS. If you win $25 million and want

Winner rewarded by a retailer's lucky touch By Kate Northrop A Michigan man thought he'd purchase a Super Raffle lottery ticket after seeing a retailer's advertising for the luckiest store in Michigan and ended up winning a $1 million prize.

If your claim is that the odds of one ticket winning a straight bet improves to 1 in 128, it means that every single drawing has a number from your list. This is false. Your list wins occasionally, not every single time. Since you know nothing about lotterology, I will fill you in on a little secret.... Because of what you DON'T know about lotterology, that makes my odds correct. There is something that you don't know about lotterology that I incorporate into my system that improves

Five dollar MMReply
LOL, you can't even get the odds correct. It's 128 in 1,000. That's a much higher number (0.1280, not 0.0078). The 1 in 128 figure would be correct if the lottery only drew 1 of 128 combinations. They don't. They draw 1 of 1,000 combinations. If your claim is that the odds of one ticket winning a straight bet improves to 1 in 128, it means that every single drawing has a number from your list. This is false. Your list wins occasionally, not every single time.

Lotto Max to undergo significant game changes, price increaseNews Story
Bigger jackpots, but they're harder to win By Kate Northrop The multi-province Lotto Max game is getting an overhaul this spring, which will include a bigger jackpot cap, additional $100,000 prizes with every draw, and a ticket price increase. Lotto Max, the multi-province draw game of Canadian lotteries, is set to deliver higher jackpots, additional prizes, and more lines per play, all at the cost of a ticket price increase and more difficult odds at hitting the jackpot.
