Mixed v sorted numbersReply
Help me understand, please. In Texas, all plays are entered into the lottery system using a play slip where the integers are read in numerical order. Except for the daily pick 3, 4 and 5 games, the integers are recorded in numerical order and printed in numerical order on the play ticket. A player may want to, for example, place integer 7 in the the P1 position. The only way to do it would be to not choose any integers less than 7 in the same combination. You can wheel all you wan

Virtual Theft
I am extremely pissed off today. Let me explain what happened. Here is how the theft of the value of my scratch ticket went down: Earlier today, after traveling to visit an office to sign some forms, I went to a convenience store in Andover, MA and bought one (1) scratch ticket in the value of $10. That ticket was a 100X ticket that was a winner in the value of $10. After buying the ticket, I left the store without redeeming the ticket. I then drove down the state highway (Rt. 114) to

Kansas lawmakers considering lottery vending machinesNews Story
Kansas Lottery players soon might be able to buy tickets from vending machines. The House voted this week in support of the move, which the state lottery has sought for three years. Lottery spokeswoman Sally Lunsford said the measure would increase lottery revenue and cut labor costs for retailers, where ticket buyers could bypass clerks and use the self-service machines. She said 37 other states, including Missouri, Colorado and Oklahoma, use the machines. Vending machines have increas

Va. woman wins $1 million while showing friend how to play lotteryNews Story
By Todd Northrop A Virginia woman won $1 million Tuesday after attempting to show her friend how to play a scratch-off ticket lottery. Merry Thomas took her friend Julie to the Giant Food store on Town and Country Road in Fredericksburg where she showed her how to work the self-serve machine to scan for a winning ticket. Julie's ticket won $12. Merry's ticket won $1 million. I've been freaking out since then! Merry said. Right in front of my eyes, I saw this woman turn into a

It is crazy. They get what, 5% commission? So $30 profit for every book they sell. The smart retailers will happily tell customers book numbers, and search their inventory to locate and sell books. The stupid/apathetic ones are the ones who fall under the fallacious reasoning that if it isn't on the display that they don't have it. I've had retailers treat me like a scam artist for asking for book numbers. They seem to think that information is confidential despite it being on the back of every

Do statistical trends exist?Reply
Greeting ROHC Thanks for the response and appreciate your good analogy point on sampling as I am also advocate same. However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results. Prime Minister Winston Church Permit me to expand on the overall FairGame myth. Having studied gaming operators motivations and procedures for some 25 years, I have learned a couple/three things about intentions, not each every one, mind you, but the general mind set that I would like to

Does The Location Effect Chances Of winning?Reply
Personally, I've found lone isolated stores to have more winners than city stores with lots of vendors. Also...no one has mentioned yet in this thread: lotto vending machine versus ticket roller. In my honest, honest most honest assessment, in the few times I've played machines I've never one a single red cent. I don't know why, but I haven't. Except when I've bought 10 one dollar tickets and would get a couple bucks. That's relatively low risk though. I almost had a panic attack when I fed

Before I did a lot of scratch-offs, my original place to wast-, er, spend money was to go to Dave Buster's. It was about a year and half though before I figured out I could game the system and collect enough tickets to redeem for stuff that was actually worth having. They definitely had that coin-style game like they do in the gas stations mini-arcade/casinos but I never had any luck with it. Thanks to D B, I must have a couple thousand dollars worth of equipment I paid nowhere near retail to

What would be your lottery wish for 2017?Reply
Fair enough, but I think there's a good argument that such games already exist to some extent. Just making QP's non-random wouldn't make them the same as tickets in a raffle game, but I think raffle games fit your wish, as long as you don't mind losing the ability to choose your own combination. The numbers/combination on a raffle ticket may not be quite the same as what you have for lotto style games, but as long as it's generated by the terminal (or central computer, as it would have to be for

I'm sorry to hear about the poor return. Are you sure it wasn't $245/$600? I'm not sure what is the minimum payout on that game, but it is $245/$600 on Super Millions. You might have missed a $20 winner somewhere Ronnie. With the $20 Gold Rush Doubler's odds, a $500 winner should be there one in every six books. So, at least one in six books should yield a profit on average. The others are probably very close to that minimum payout. Personally, I would have went for one of the Gold Rush Doubler
