Germany Lottery draw glitch caused announcement of wrong numbersNews Story
German broadcaster ZDF gave Lotto ticket holders a moment of false hope on Wednesday evening, after a glitch with the ball machine meant presenters read out the wrong numbers. At 6:50pm, 2.33 million people turned on their TVs to see if they'd won this week's lottery jackpot. But what presenters in the ZDF studio had not noticed was that that two balls, 46 and 47, failed to roll into the see-through Lotto drum. This meant that the first set of numbers 3,8,11,26,32,40 and 9 were void. The a

Dr.Miracle's P-3 System. Q&AReply
Maryland Pick 3 archive question. Does any member here from Maryland know why or can research with there local lottery ticket seller why there was no Saturday, April 25 1998 drawing?? Also check both these days Friday August 13 and Saturday August 14 1999. No Midday Draws for both days. I have a complete Pick 3 draw history for Maryland Midday and Evening draws. I noticed in the Lotterypost database that many draws are duplicated having the January 29 date. Not sure if this is i

Clerks Are Not Always Knowledgable About LotteryReply
Just let me behind the counter so I can run my own dang numbers. I know what I want and how I want them. I don't like giving lessons on what superstraight is or how to make a $5 ticket straight. If you can't count - think - perform then stay away from the machine. If I go once to a place where they do not know what they're doing I do not go back. Time is money - get them done right and get them done quick...I don' t have time for a. 50 boxed mistake when I wanted $5

Lotto System Development Simplified
Lotto System Development Simplified A lot of energy is expended here trying to design a system that might help a player win a Lotto Jackpot. The problem is that the dimensions of the state games are such that designers must deal with very LARGE numbers of combinations and very SMALL probabilities. Very often, the designer's ideas become obscured by complicated and tedious calculations. This thread is an attempt to provide a Lotto game model of scaled down dimensions to allow people to focus o

Maine couple claims $8.2M Tri-State Megabucks jackpotNews Story
Includes video report Nobody was more surprised than Linda Von Oesen to find she'd won $8,190,000 in the September 26th Megabucks Plus drawing. She was sleeping with her husband Bob in their camper, parked in a Walmart parking lot, when one of her daughters called to see if she'd bought a ticket. So she says, 'check your ticket'. I said, 'oh, alright', explained Linda Von Oesen. So here we are in a camper, pitch dark and so I says, 'I got to find it, just give me the numbers.' And so I

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
I think I've discovered which ones to avoid...ALL THE NEW ONES. Rather than being the first couple weeks now where the new tickets are hot...it's a first couple DAYS. Then after that, it's a lotta lose and a good one or two thrown in between. (The $1,000 I won I don't expect to repeat. ...not on that one anyway). The older ones are the ones to stick with...The new $ ticket is bad, the Price is Right gives $15 rather than $100's, The Spooky ticket has few spooky eyes and as far as

Is it Cheating??Reply
Absolutely and positively not. However, any such accomplishment several times over, whether by pure luck or uncontrollable glitch etc. would immediately cause them to investigate the winner, the establishment which sold the ticket(s), the machine which printed them, the phone records, cameras, and everything surrounding the win(s). Why? Because you'd be winning an unusual amount of money in a historically unreasonable frequency. In short, you're winning, often, in a game that's designed not t

has anyone bought a roll and did well??Reply
People can do well buying rolls of tickets but you have to remember something: These games are designed to make money... not to lose money. The state issuing the tickets intends to make money with them to help with senior citizens and the other things they do with the money. So typically a book is designed to pay out half (or so) of the cost to buy the tickets. If they sell $10,000,000 in tickets then they want to pay out in the ball park of $5,000,000 so you can see that if all the tick
