Lotteries long for 'jackpot fever'Reply
The mistake lottery officials make is thinking that simply increasing the odds will create larger jackpots which will increase buzz, but that's not how most players think.

For example, one of the functions in my PowerBall program discards any sets that have 3 consecutive numbers. This will increase my odds, BUT it will also slightly decrease my odds because sets that have 3 consecutive numbers ARE possible. The last time this happened on the PowerBall was on December 2, 2006.

Around the United States, Christmastime raffle games have become the hottest ticket of the year, with most of the game tickets selling out well before the drawing date. The raffle games are loosely modeled after the largest lottery game in the world, Spain's El Gordo, which gives back an unusually large 70% of all proceeds in the form of prizes, and makes many instant millionaires.
