Mega Millions lottery tickets double to $2 starting in OctoberReply
I am certainly getting sick of jackpots becoming more and more a longshot to win. No doubt state lotto's will follow suit and further water down there games after this I am not a regular MM or PB player at this point because of how difficult it is to even get $1 back and how the odds are so long that its hard to imagine any scenario in which I actually win At $2 a line and 300M to 1 chance to win ,, No thank you Will only buy MM or PB when jackpots get absurd and even then it w

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
I empathize with you GetReal730. I quit playing high-volume style and now spend less overall, but especially more spaced over the pay period. I quit pulling $500's altogether, but would get many more $50's playing the $2 and $5 Scratchers I was substituting for the high-end games. I've noticed my results diminished to the point where I was questioning my habits, like you seem to be. I think Scratchers have a way of casting an illusion of winning and a player should be less expectant of t

My gut says that you are much better at math than me so in that you have an advantage. I've just learned what math I needed to as I went along and have spent countless hours brute forcing my way through an equation that could have taken someone else minutes to figure out. I like to say that when I first started I was basically doing the computer equivalent of counting on my fingers. In some cases I may very well still be. My motivations for posting were very similar to yours as normally I am

Multistate and State GamesReply
Sales in Texas, and I would suspect in other states, are gravitating to scratchoff tickets. They're instant gratification. But they are not necessarily less expensive. A scratcher that has a top prize of a million dollars costs at least $10, most are $20. Yes, the odds are better, but that really is a chunk of change to spend. $20 is just about a week's budget for me. I don't play Pick 3, because I can't get too excited about winning $500. I'm looking to try to win at least a million.

I see what you're saying that I don't understand something obviously the lottery tickets going up with the big lotteries the tolls. They keep raising prices on different things so why? Pretty soon nobody's going to buy the big game tickets once October hits and more people find out. As a matter of fact I talked to someone a couple years ago and the person stated that it's better to hit state lotteries. The odds are better. He is right.

No worries on terminology. Like you I have been doing this solo for a long time as well and have made up my own terminology along the way. It was 7 days not 10, but you have the basic idea. When looking at the next X drawings from a given point in time we can see that the numbers appeared together in certain patterns in the previous drawings. In NY the jackpot is to match 10 numbers so I limited my results to only include combinations where all 10 of the numbers appeared in the previous 4 dra

How the Lottery Numbers are pickedReply
It was the 2 Step game that 2 people won on QP's, not Cash 5. There were 631,610 tickets sold for last night's 2 Step drawing. Odds of winning are 1 in 1,832,600. It's not uncommon for there to be multiple winners when the jackpot gets over half a million. As the jackpot rises, more people jump in. You can't even get your games straight, and you are comparing machines blowing twigs off beans to rigging lottery machines to pick one winner out of millions of players somewhere in the country?

$30 CA GOLD (900 for the Book)Reply
Excuse me, looks like the overall odds are 2.62. Seems like they're still formidable enough to take your $30, but not so difficult that you can't get a free ticket if you buy 2. On another note, I am 0-for-5 on Super Ticket. I thought they designed that game like Deluxe 7's Playbook, where you win more often, but it's just break-even cash prizes or money back ...plus 5 dollars. My newbie friend won $50 on Super Ticket, which I assume is the first $10 Scratcher he's ever purchased. Now he's proba
