is it luckier to buy tickets on the rich side of town?Reply
This is a classic question in sociology and applied economics, and the answer is well-documented by demographic studies and market research in the United States (such as data from the Brookings Institution, the Tax Foundation, and various state lotteries). The direct answer is: people from all social classes play, but the financial impact, frequency, and motivation are profoundly different between the poorest and the wealthiest. Here is the breakdown of how lottery consumption

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
The odds of winning are the same, but the odds of sharing the jackpot are higher.. It is like in NZ a lotto official said that there were usually about 3,000 tickets with 1,2,3,4,5,6 ... When picking your own numbers, people want a logical reason... Birthdays is another (so more likely to share prizes/ jackpots if the numbers are 1 - 31.

Secrets of a lottery lawyer-Kurt Panouses interviewReply
Actually having two games and letting the players pick may be worse right now. That just leads to having a limited pool of player cash going to more games which leads to slower rolls and more player fatigue. The lottery market needs to sort itself out and cull the games that don't pull in much player dollars. I doubt that will happen anytime soon because the lotteries don't like paying out. That is why we keep getting more and more games that roll slower and have lower jackpots.

Powerball drawing produces huge number of big winners, including two who split the jackpotReply
Whatever Dude, you are probably one of the ones who are ALWAYS complaining about California always winning the jackpot. Now Kansas and Indiana split the jackpot with a bunch of other states getting 2nd and 3rd prize and YOU still complain. No one is forcing you to play the lottery, stop playing and quit complaining because people here do NOT want to hear it/read it. FYI, Indiana has won more Powerball jackpots than any other state, with 40 wins but NO one ever complains about that state. People

Fantasy 5 Group Balance Strategy: Why Spreading Numbers Across Decades Wins Big
I've been digging into Michigan Fantasy 5 draws lately, and one pattern jumps out, winning combos rarely clump in one decade like all teens or 20s. Historical data shows that most jackpots spread across groups: 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-39, hitting 3-4 groups on average. All from one group? Super rare, under 2% odds. Smart play: mix low-high with 2-3 odds/evens, aiming for sum 55-125 (avg 11-25 per number). Skipped this last week and whiffed; now wheeling balanced sets like 5-17-24-29-31 from smart

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
...Calling Mega Millions measly by people who do not have near the jackpots says a lot about those people. What do you think it says about them?

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
Dude what are you going on and on about? Of course UK lottery winners are going to have US federal taxes taken out of their winnings before they even get their winnings. Just like it happens here in the US. The only exemption for the UK winners are state taxes. As for me, I am going to keep on buying my tickets and looking forward to seeing the new starting jackpots and how fast they will grow.

New Hampshire Lottery launches $30 scratch-off ticket offering record $3 million top prizeReply
Tucker is right. The cash jackpot is the real jackpot. If a winner chooses the annuity the cash amount of the jackpot is simply invested to pay the annuity. The annuity payout is promoted in advertising jackpots to look better.

Are you playing Mega Millions with the $5.00 per play?Reply
I love when she calls it measly millions It makes me laugh every time I see it. You gotta remember how the price increase was gassed up by the M.S.L.U. They said better odds, faster increases, higher jackpots. So far none of that is true. I'm doing worse since the increase. And the only reason I'm still buying tickets is as I said in numerous other posts. I been playing the same numbers for years. If it wasn't for that. I would have been done when it increased. Same way i was done when my state
