If I were running my states lottery I would...Reply
If I ran Texas Lottery.... I would drop Cash 5 with it's pitiful jackpot of $15,000 or so, and bring in a Quinto game. $50,000 with 1 in 100,000 odds. AND, keep it a dollar a ticket. AND, only 2 draws a day, not 4. Then, drop the 4 draws a day for P3, D4, and AoN and go back to 2 draws a day.

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
My two cents on the $5M prize in the Flamingo Multiplier is that the range can easily be closer to 680k to 730k. Based on claimed prizes from the instant liability report, I'd bet the $5M prize is in the upper 600s or very low 700s. Either way, it will probably get hit before the end of October. The $1M prizes are at their normal distribution, meaning that I am not expecting a $1M prize for another few weeks (ditto for the $100k prize). So that means you are playing for the $5M prize with minima

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Interesting. I've played way too much lately, so I'm going on a hiatus for quite some time until my bank account recovers. Even though the new $20 Gold Rush has better odds at hitting $500, I'm finding poorer results playing that compared to the other Gold Rush. Question to everyone - What do you all think about $5 Wheel of Fortune having 4/12 jackpots remaining (33%), yet the game is 82% sold through (18% of tickets remaining)? I'd like to think it is hard to miss a jackpot on

Tips: Please do not combined other poster's pairs with each other, this is to ensure best results stick with one set! Also this is why I only do even/odd pairs to help better out the odds!

WoW. Mega millions partially cracked with mathReply
Well as one of my grandpas used to tell me, Do you believe everything you hear? So I wanted to get the other members detail about the lotteries. In fact I even looked up on my kindle and amazon ebooks but really there isn't anything. However this site is interesting. If I can do the math I might be able to figure out something or perhaps look at usamega. that usamega is very useful. The lotteries have the odds for a reason. Still haven't heard from that member.

Cash4Life coming to IndianaReply
Odds are lousy indeed. Though, it's fun to play occasionally. Often one will win back their wager or even a few bucks extra. However, if more than one player hits the top prize, it automatically splits. The more players who play Cash4Life, the worse the payouts can potentially get. Totally opposite of pretty much any other jackpot game out there. And 2nd prize and lower tiers can potentially split too, though far less likely, at this point. If Cash4Life expanded sales throughout much of th

Do you believe every combination has the same probability?Reply
Do you believe every combination has the same probability? That is the question. The answer is YES. For pick 3, the odds of a number coming out is 1,000 to 1 and for pick 4, it's 10,000 to 1. Every number has the same probability of being drawn as every other number. They can test the machines 100s of times, but all that matter is the official result.

Good luck Mike! With the odds being 1 in 179 for a $500 hit, roughly 1 in 6 books will yield a $500 winner. I hope you find that $500 winner, and a profitable book. :) There's a rumor/myth about tickets being hot when they're first released to reel in customers. If that's the case, week 1 may be the best time to do this.

PA Play Slips Wild Card Option?Reply
Correct. Wild Ball 1 is what he needed; did not win. Concept is good, but calling it Wild Ball can lead to misunderstanding. It seems the PA Lottery is doing the best it can to educate players. Adding Wild Ball is the easiest way to improving the payback of any Pick-X game. Pick-X base games is around 50% overall payback. Adding Wild Ball improves that to 55%+. For example, Pick-2 Straight / Box costs $2 and pays $75 or $25. Pick-2 Straight with Wild Ball costs $2 and pays $80 or $30. An extr
