Which Pick5 game has the best odds?
Two questions really. Which Pick5 game in the US has the best odds and payout structure and also, does anyone know where we can play Pick5 games online. I know you can play the big lotteries and pick3 and pick4 online at betslips, but I can't find a place to play pick5. Thanks.

Repeat Powerball NumberReply
A 5+1 match would be significant, but there's nothing amazing about a 5+0 match. The odds that one specific drawing would have a 5+0 match with another specific drawing are 1:3,478,761, but that isn't what happened. One random drawing matched another random drawing, and the odds against that are much lower. I'm not sure when PB went to 2 drawings a week, but figure there have been at least 1000 drawings since the game started. For any specific drawing the odds of a 5+0 match with any of the pre

Non believersReply
It's very true that if you don't play, you can't win, but for me the odds are just too rediculous to take it seriously. Occasionally I'll play a couple of bucks, but I'm not sitting around basing my life around some extreme and remote possibility of breaking such enormous odds. The odds are the reality...period. If I could pick a straight in the p-3 game, which has only a 1000 to 1 odds, once a week playing only 5 bucks a day in cost, I would then say I have a knack for picking numbers and try

Matrix change: Powerball to get much harder to win?Reply
They are definitely not thinking they can payout $1 million without changing the matrix, raising the ticket price,and/or killing their cash cow. Right now 60% of the prize money goes to the jackpot and a bit over 11% goes to the second place prize. Paying 2 1/2 times as much for second place would require about 123% of the current prize pool unless they pay fewer second place prizes. That leaves them the choice of raising the odds and/or reducing some of the other prizes. Reducing the other

Is it worth buying a large number of tickets once a year?Reply
Am I the only old f*rt old enough to remember the story of the couple in the early years of state lotteries who tried to do this very thing with about 10X the money you're talking about investing. . .I guess my point being that theory is great but how it works functionally is more important (especially for the person attempting it) in the long run. Anyway in the days when a 10M jackpot would almost cause rioting in lottery lines. . .this young (had to be young to believe that this atte
