Also not a scratch ticket result but a good one just the same. Atlantic City trip this week. Monday thru yesterday. Stayed at the Atlantic Club. The old Hilton. This place has gone back to the way it used to be. BEFORE all the other states opened their own casinos and cut into AC's revenue. We have been going to casinos for over 20 years and saw first hand the great times you used to have and the lousy trips of the past few years. All due to the big corp takeovers of the gaming industry. C

Budgeting When Buying InstantsReply
Hi James - I like the random method, it works for me. I have never tried a pack of tickets. I wanted to but just didn't take the plunge. I just sat and thought...a whole pack vs. random machine hits and thought I'm much better off doing the random hits. Lotteryman...can I ask - if you are considering dropping down to $10..how much were you used to playing per week? You could answer like this, if you want......Significantly more or slightly more. The reason I ask is this, if you cut down

Post Your Winning Tickets HereReply
I play a lot of tickets. What I'll do is start with the $20's. I like the $20 tickets and find better bigger winners there. I'll choose what I like first and see how I do on those. It depends on what's in the machine too on whether I play more of those same $20's if I don't win or bounce around to the $5's and $10's. If the $10's don't do anything on the 1st ticket out, I'll try another of one or two that I like. I don't play more than 2 of each. If the winner isn't there, I'm not go

if you found a winning ticket that wasn't yoursReply
I'm leaning toward what Stack47 said on this one. Casino jackpots (slots) are intentionally set up as to avoid being taxed (not the big jackpots, but such as non-progressive video poker). There is a formula or set of rules for each denomination machine, a 25 cent poker machine pays $1199 so as not to be taxed. A dollar machine pays more but the amount where the jackpot would be taxed is higher. Keno tickets have the same type of payout schedule. One of the biggest beefs I ever sazw wa

Not Happy With My QPs For Today's Treasure Hunt JackpotReply
The skewing you describe seems very blatant. It could be a serious flaw in the RND, which wouldn't surprise me in the least. Ever watch a self-service terminal reboot? I have, and yikes! Lots of apparent software kludges appear to load during start up. Maybe it's secure, but it sure doesn't look like it. More to the point, with all that software and hardware interacting, it's very possible the RND is faulty in some way. It's been an ongoing problem with many SSL programs on the web due to poo

Stopped back at Sheetz on my way home from my first job today, wanted to try some of the new $20 ticket (Million Dollar Payout) but they didn't have any. Yesterday the machine had two empty slots when I picked up my tickets... I figured that they would put at least one if not two more rolls of the new $20 in. I find that it looks like they only put one in and it was sold out already! So I decided to try another Million Dollar Supercash (last month's $20) and see how it does.

Lion Share Slot $$ ??
Perhaps when payoff time vastly exceeds 'beyond the beyond' odds, its time for internal machine examination or it is really all operator purtpose ??? EddessaKnight ~ Las Vegas gamblers eye aging slot machine they expect to pay off millions Forget Britney Spears and Cirque du Soleil. For many gamblers, the hottest attraction in Sin City is an outdated three-reel slot machine that hasn't produced a jackpot in nearly two decades. It is called the Lion's Share, and in this city wit

Wondering if I should go back to buying scratchers?Reply
...scrathers [sic] are the same as slots in a casino. This is a common misconception. Actually, to use the casino analogy, scratch games have more in common with table card games, and traditional lottery number games are more like slots or roulette. With traditional number/lotto games, you are trying to predict the randomness of the computer or mechanical random number generator. You only have the illusion of control, trying to gain an advantage from randomness. Like a slot machine or r

rouletteReply
Greetings BBH, You have posed an interesting circumstance worth exploriing being conversant with the game of roulette I humbly hope I can make a candid contribution to this otherwise lonely thread LOL If the true odds and payoffs are as you suggested, the house edge for the lottery is stupendous ranging from about 10% to 67%. Not even the worse slot machines have a house edge more than about 40%, so an argument could even be made that you are probably better off playing the slots than play
