All Pick 6..All States TestReply
For each string of numbers there are 1716 possible combinations, so playing all combinations for both strings would cost over $3400 for each game (assuming $1 per play and that all of the games have matrixes with at least 41 numbers). Assuming multi-state tri-state megabucks is a redundant listing for ME, NH and VT, you've listed 9 games in the first post, so playing all the combinations for all of the games would cost almost $31,000. Ignoring the games that weren't listed in the first p

Florida Multi-StateReply
I will be very surprised if they do. Why should they? They make too much now to share it with anybody. The current Christmas raffle, just a little sideline game will raise about $25 million. The ticket sales started on Monday and by 5pm yesterday the tickets sales amounted to 30% of the total being sold in the raffle. That it raising over $7,000,000 in less than two days. Why in the world would they need to become part of a multi-state lottery with that kind of a customer base? They thoug

Potential problem with PA Mix & MatchReply
I also think the top prize is rather small, especially for a $2 game. If I want to play for 20k or 50k, I'll buy a scratch ticket. (But M M is still way better than UNlucky for Life.) Probably the most extreme example is 2by2, with a top prize of $20,000. ($1 per play by the way.) 2by2 started in Kansas and Nebraska in 2002, just weeks after Hot Lotto began. 2by2 has since added North Dakota, which is allowed to sell only multi-state games. Kansas finally joined HL this year; Nebraska (what a

Hot Lotto coming to New MexicoNews Story
Lottery players in New Mexico will soon have a hot new way to win a cool million when tickets for Hot Lotto go on sale Sunday, November 12. The first drawing to include New Mexico will be held on November 15. Hot Lotto will be a nice complement to our current games, filling the niche between Roadrunner Cash and Powerball, said Lottery CEO Tom Romero. New Mexico now has the option of playing for a huge jackpot (Powerball) with higher odds of winning, or a smaller jackpot (Hot Lotto) that

To SirMetroReply
The W4L game has just begin to garner my interest because it finally has enough games to make tracking worthwhile. I don't care that it is multi-state. Personally, I think that is all it has going to keep it alive. I do believe if the number of grand prize winners in GA does not increase, sales will drop substantial. But again, that is just my opinion. I typically only play it a few times a month, I track it to see if it improves my picking ability for the Mega. What I wish was that GA had th

Why not a lottery that goes "wide"?Reply
Quote: Originally posted by RJOh on April 15, 2006For those players who think winning $100M or more is ridiculous, there are the local lotteries with better odds and smaller jackpots.  States use multi-state games with big jackpots to attract more players to all their games because it works.  PowerBall has a cap that goes into effect when its jackpot reaches a record amount and then more money is put in the prize pool for the 2nd place winners.  I think it only happened once. Actually, th

Florida Lottery = PatheticReply
Remember that FL doesn't offer a multi-state game just yet. Jeb doesn't want one here. The site is so messed up that it shows the draw date for Wednesday's Lotto as 4-11 instead of 4-12. Still says in place of the numbers AVAIL SOON but you can get them using the search by date feature. Of course, since Todd was kind enough to do the work for us, you don't have to!

Florida Fantasy 5's New EZMATCHReply
Hi, Pac. Yup, that's exactly the way I felt the first time I bought a Grouper. I know I got a free ticket but not only do they choose the numbers, they choose which game is the free one. One time the clerk only gave me 5 tickets and I finally got the 6th ticket after making a stink about it. (as if I wouldn't notice?) At first the Fantasy 5 new option looked interesting to me, but now that you Duckman mention it, maybe it's not a good deal after all. I knew it was an instant win on the EZ

Record Powerball lottery won by one NebraskanNews Story
Someone, somewhere in Nebraska held the only winning ticket for the record $365 million Powerball jackpot, but likely wasn't in a rush to come forward, lottery officials said Sunday. The only ticket matching the winning numbers drawn Saturday night for the multistate lottery was sold at a a U-Stop convenience store in Lincoln, Nebraska Lottery spokesman Brian Rockey said. It was the biggest jackpot on record for any lottery in the United States. No one had come forward to claim the j
