Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
Hmm, the Jackpot has been won 6 times since the $5.00 change. Yet, the x10 on 5 + 0 has only been won 1 time. Let's see, the Jackpot odds are 1 in 290,472,336.0 And, the x10 on 5 + 0 odds are 1 in 404,135,424.0 Yep, seems our calculations are holding up in the real world examples. Good Luck

There's something I want anybody who might be reading this thread to know. And that's this - No matter how impressed (or unimpressed) any given FF5 player might be with the things I posted immediately above, it's still very hard to win a FF5 jackpot. I've had Gail Howard's SmartLuck software for 10 years, and even though my software shows me all of these things that a player can't possibly know if they don't have software, or determine very easily manually, I have NEVER WON ANY KIND OF

Chris, First, good luck to you. Sticking for years with a set of personal or lucky numbers has paid off handsomely for some players, although I've read that players that have won a jackpot playing that way have said It took forever for those numbers to come home! You're 20+ years in so hopefully it won't be long and they'll pop. Personally I've been playing the lottery for over 20 years myself. I've never played a specific set of numbers regularly, but to each his own. I'm a transplant

Here's the expansion on playing 1 to 5 lines: The Left column xN has the possible outcomes for each Play amount. The xN multipliers can be in any order. As an example, for 3 Play Lines, xN for 2 2 3 could be 2 2 3, 2 3 2, or 3 2 2. 1 Play Line xN Odds 2 1 in 2.13 3 1 in 3.20 4 1 in 8.00 5 1 in 16.00 10 1 in 32.00 2 Play Lines xN Odds 2 2 1 in 4.55 2 3 1 in 3.41 2 4 1 in 8.53 2 5 1 in 17.07 2 10 1 in 3

Michigan: 5/1 - 5/31/2026Reply
Not only repeating a 4-digit same day, but a freakin' consecutive.... I'm no mathematician, but what are those odds? We can also look at the bright side, before 999 dropped, we had that 5678.... could we finally be getting that overdue MIDDAY triple tomorrow?

The Florida Millionaire Raffle is back!Reply
I'm good with that. Lower odds for those players that have a ticket(s). Might buy another next week and right at the end of the sales cycle on June 30th. G5

To be brutally honest with you, if you are in dire financial trouble playing the lottery is the last thing you should be doing. The odds are against you, even with games like Pick 3. But, good luck. Hope you find help.

It is measly given the odds of winning and the fact that it's a 30 year annuity. It's worth 1.5 cents. A prize worth 1.5 cents would be fine if the tickets were 5 cents per line. They are not 5 cents. They're five dollars . What a joke.

DC 5 Lottery needs to be audited immediately. The same thing that happened to Tennessee in 2007Reply
if dc lottery goes the entire month of april drawing only singles for pick 5 twice a day, and i believe they will, the probability of that happening randomly due to chance is 0.3024^60. that works out to odds of 1 in 14,624,896,128,737,864,992,086,076,360,054. that is a 32-digit number. for comparison, the number of atoms in the human body is about 7 x 10^27, which is a 28-digit number.
