I think the lottery is RiggedReply
I like to think the games (big ones) are as random as humanly possible (note I didn't say totally random). When you jack the odds up high enough, you don't have the need to rig it... they win every draw, regardless if someone else does.I like to play 1 ticket alot, but I would rather pick my own line than rely on the state's QP to do it for me... they never do... (neither do I, but at least I felt that I tried, LOL... and I am usually considerably closer than the QP)I will, on occasion play a QP

Kansas lottery player keeps winningReply
That is all PC and stuff but this just speaks then to the point that the more you play the better chance you have at winning. I am sure a guy like this and the Mass guy who gave away his ticket play hundreds a week. I am a 28 yr old male and have pounded certain games ($1000) a pop a few times. I only pound games like the LIttle Lotto in IL or Encore in Ontario, (odds of million to one or less) I would never pound Mega or Powerball, but I guess a guy like Jack Whittaker does and sooner or la

PredictionsReply
Four4me, I get that same problem here too. Everyday ! number different. If I play 359 the # will be 358 or if I play 614 it will be 615. Cant afford to sink alot into it and try and corner it because I play 10 numbers. Some day though. Thanks for the reply RJOh , thanks for the reply, I did realize that the odds were far better when it comes to all states vs 1 state but what I was wondering is if anyone hits in their own state rather than the other states. Now, if these numbers I predict hit

Platinum Dry Run (Missouri)Reply
As expected the winning number was finally caught. I didn't choose the straight permutation number set. Still, 1:8 odds of picking the correct number set containing the straight is not bad. I'm going to dote on Missouri for a few more days.Midday Number Sets:6.4% Probability418-417-487-187441-448-447-114-118-117884-881-887-774-771-77819.2% Probability401-408-407-421-428-427-451-458-457-491-498-497108-107-128-127-158-157-198-197-807-827-857-897404-424-454-494-101-121-151-191808-828-858-898-707

Georgia 8/24 Midday
There are 3 groups of 4 digits. Play ONE digit from each group to make up your 3-digit number. If you played all of them, you would play 64 tickets, so you may want to use filters like no doubles or no pure numbers, etc. 0596 2034 8761Things to consider: The number 1 is due (overdue!!). It has skipped 15 times now. We have had 3 odds in a row...probably time for an even sum. Although Georgia often has a digit repeat from the previous draw, I'm nervous about it because it has happened 7 times

Pick 5.Reply
Lots of states do have rolling Pick 5 games. But the best has to be the afformentioned. PA's Cash 5 has the common 5/39 matrix, but is one of the few games of it's kind to offer jackpots over $1,000,000! I don't know of any others except FL's first version Fantasy 5 (another 5/39), it hit over one mil about 3 times before changing to it's second format.But don't forget VA's Cash 5, although the top prize is a fixed $100,000, it's a 5/34. Better odds, and it's played twice a day.

Michigan Lottery dropping Roll Down, adding Fantasy 5Reply
I'm with you GutGNT! Little Lotto was WAY better with only 30 numbers. Overall odds were 1:140,000. Now it's 1:575,000. !!!! ARGH!!!! I've been playing it non-stop for 10 years. Had at least 16 occasions I hit of 4/5 when it was 30 numbers. All payouts over $200. Haven't had one single 4/5 now that it's changed. I've only hit 3/5 twice since Feb. !! Needless to say, I've decreased the amount I spend on it considerably!. All we can do is wait for the sales to languish to the point

Need help equating flipping pennies toReply
Colin F -Sorry, there's an oversimplification here. In a binary solution each coin would be addressed separately. If you have 2 pennies and you toss them 4 times, the probability is that you will have one incidence of two heads, one incidence of two tails and two incidences of one head AND one tail. But the binary solution precludes this and the incidences appear as HH, HT, TH and TT, or, more correctly, 00, 01, 10 and 11. Note that the odds of having one head and one tails is still 50% in any c

My results last 30 drawsReply
CaliforniaDude,Very nice job! It also pleases me very much to see that you have finally decided to play your games online. Truly, it is the best way to go for your money and the odds. Make sure that you allow yourself plenty of time to get your bets in because it is the only process which is so darn tedious, and alsovery slow and laborious. You have to use your mouse a lot when putting in your bets. I am currently playing about 5 states online right now and I am having a tremendously succes

Mega Millions vs. Powerball?Reply
I would take a jackpot from either lotto. Who cares what the odds are to win? it all LUCK any way! To tell the truth, I would play them both if available. Instead of a $1, I would be playing $2. That's simple math from a simple person. No crunching numbers- simply give me a quick pick. Really, playing the lotto is a simple man's game. That's why it is so popular. No brains needed- period!
