Texas pick 6 prizes
They changed the 6/50 to the 6/54 in July 2000, hoping to increase sales. After sales declined steadily over the past 3 years, they decided to change the game again, increasing the odds of winning JP. They hope the JPs will get bigger, thus drawing in more players. They think by getting stingier, they will attract more $, which just doesn't work that way. It takes $ to make money. Like attracts like. Always has, always will. People want to play something that they feel they can really win. If it

The Challenge
I stand by my statement that any Circus Baboon can do your sheet.There are only 120 No-Match Numbers in the Pick-3.I played 1/4 of them and you played 1/4 of them. You didn't play any of the numbers I selected and since you posted after me it was intentional on your part.You knew that if I chose incorrectly, your odds of getting the right number was decreased by 1/4. You filtered out the ALL ODD/EVEN numbers and threw in the 909 to fill the rest out to 30 Numbers.Like I said, any circus baboon

PA Super Six tops jackpot list...
smd:Super-6 certainly could have been $1 per play with 58 or 59 balls, whichever 6/x matrix would have been the first with odds higher than the current game (6/69; 3 plays/$1.)KJ had TWO major flaws: 1) the game was always ANNUITY-ONLY, even though cash options were available in most games by the time KJ ended; 2) KJ was a 6+1 game. PA was the only state that relied on the pick-7 idea for such a long time (remember Super-7?)WC Lotto was PA's better game after its cash option began. In retrospect

Texas Evening AOS....
Shady,I think I see already what you mean. Someone mentioned it to me earlier. It seems that the other version of roots or root sums is createdsum 784 = 7+8+4= 19 and then just take the first digit (1) away and all that is left is the 9.I just checked the distribution of the numbers and I like it because it gives every root sum exactly 100 sets:Root 0 1001 1002 1003 1004 1005 1006 1007 1008 1009 100My question to everyone is: How common is this version?If many people use it, it would be farily e

Winning the Jackpot Prize
Actually it doesn't take the whole draw history,for the Pick-5 for example you can use 30-60 draws,for the Pick-6 26-52 draws and for the Pick-3/4 games by position you use 60-90 by game you would use 10-40.And as for the State Lotteries not posting past drawn numbers if they knew it were possible I don't think it would matter,because as far as there concerned it's all LUCK .But then again why do they post those numbers on there site? the answer is for the players too check there tickets,some p

Computer vs. Bingo Ball games
What are your opinions regarding the approach to playing? Are there differences in in number analysis and selection?Here in California, only the Super Lotto Plus (5/47+Mega) is picked by bingo balls ; I rarely play it, simply because the odds are too great.However, I do play Fantasy Five (5/39), and Daily Three quite often. I don't play Daily Three as often as I used to since they added the Mid-Day draw. I just can't get a handle on integrating the two, sometimes there seems to be a relations

Basics
Forgive me if I think your opinion may be a little bias. The programers of these lottery systems do seem to have a lot more success than the average player. Max payout for the pick 3 is $500 for a straight. If I bought one ticket and won $500 using my count the hairs on my head system, for the next 500 days I could say my system beats the house edge. How much are the odds reduced in your pick 3 software?By the way, most lotteries numbers are drawn by little rubber balls, How would your system

5/7 New Tex Lot 60-100 million Jacks
The new Texas Lottery 5/44 1/44 powerball has estimated jackpots of 60 to 100 million 3 to 4 times per year.More smaller payouts means you get more money back to play more. Still $5 for 3 numbers but not 54 but 44 balls.I can hit a powerball and that leaves only a 5/44 game.Can't wait, like the new Cash 5 and pick 3 midday games too. Sorry for all the people that don't like the change but the odds always were that you will hit fewer than 6 out of 6 so that means the payback is in your favor. Wi

Oh my God not you again? why don't you give it a rest your starting too sound like a nagging wife or a broken record.Who cares what you or anybody else's interpretation of what the Laws of Probability really mean.It's quite obvious that despite this so-called factthere are players using past draw information too hit the numbers regularly.And as long as that continues I'llkeep using my number systems too do so,if you want too join this challenge by all means feel free otherwise this systems ve

Winning the Jackpot Prize
Well that's where your wrong VisionDude yes it's more math when figuring the odds too win but there's a lot more involved when comparing the Pick-3/4 with the Pick-5/6 games.And it's not just extra numbers like in a Powerball game the number format is totally different therefore the analytical approach must be.Anyway I don't want too start a BIG DEBATE about this I just wanted too clear things up with the facts.Also you can count me in on your little CHALLENGE TOO A JACKPOT WIN and anyone wi
