Illinois lottery director calls it quitsReply
The odds aren't so hot if you consider that in lotto $1 or $2 can win anything from $2M to tens or hundreds of millions. A $20 raffle ticket that wins $2M wins $100,000 per dollar, if it wins $1M it wins $50,000 per dollar. The pot ain't right.

My numbers hit 3/4/15, at lastminute I blew off playing- I am devastated- helpReply
I've got the 8 12 35 50 55 19 ticket I played but I threw away the others. Since the miss I have spent more on tickets than I ever had with barely a single number matching. If you go to have my numbers ever hit sites and test your numbers I think you'll find you can punch in numbers for days, even years and never get any to all match against the 2400 past drawings for 5 or 6 number matches. The fact I had just chose these numbers a month or so ago and only played them a few times makes the

Awesome! I decided to watch it a little more. Sometimes she quickly goes cold for a few draws after hitting but them comes back to haunt you a few days later. With regard to tonight's pick 3 I covered all odds. Did you notice that all 3 of our drawings were totally even digits? That's kind of unusual. It's not unusual of course to have one either odd or even dominate but to totally exclude half of the field in all 3 draws; even for TLC, that's a little suspect.

Does anyone know if there is one central mainframe for pb and mm?Reply
It's fine the way it is. One mainframe producing easy picks for all states would not work well at all. The poor mainframe would not be able to help millions of people wanting to buy easy picks. An easy pick number has the same odds of winning as the easy pick that actually wins. It doesn't matter in which state you buy the number.

The strangest thing that happened to me is winning 4 $50 prizes when I bought a dozen (12) $5 777's game from the same roll in 2010. I will take it how ever it comes! Winning 150 from 60 is good ROI when the average is about 55-60% for $5 and up games. Odds of getting a 100 dollar prize is very doable to many avid players. But anything after that becomes so steep.

Great info lothob!!! I love hearing everyone's perspective on the subject!! You have made some excellent points with the topic. Hoping my persistence, discipline and increasing knowledge of the game not only make it more interesting and fun, but will definitely increase my odds of winning more and more also. I love how this website makes all of that easier as well by giving us a forum to discuss and share our knowledge and perspective of the game. I appreciate your input. Thank you. By the w

2 6 28 30 31 I'm not big on the 6 because it's the all time T5 hit leader but I guess I should be. 17 hits in 2015 and all alone in 1st place. Six of those 17 hits have happened in March with a fair amount of drawings still to go. It's now the odds on fave for most active in March. It might see 8 or more hits this month. The bigger surprise (to me anyway) was still no tens. Grudgingly, I'm going to start playing the 6 along with a ton of tens. G5

why can't the lottery make a better odds game?Reply
Well, PB and MM have a lot of second prize winners every year. Many states have their own lotto jackpots with lower odds. Many states have Hot Lotto. Frankly, I think there are probably too many games to play. I play all the jackpot games in Tx, but I usually play 1 or 2 dollars each time. After the Monopoly Millionaire fiasco, don't look for MUSL to try that again. And despite what a few say about more people winning a million dollars instead of one person winning millions, the fact is wh
