Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
I noticed those when I pulled the reports today as well. And I'm in the same situation where I've been buying the $5k A Week For Life only because I knew a winner had to be close. Likewise not happy that it was won weeks ago with no update. Those numbers are extremely easy to change on the site. The only reason for not changing them is to deliberately mislead people. With the billions of dollars the Lottery pulls in (and repeatedly brags about), you can't tell me they don't have staff enough to

Which Game to Play or Throw More Money At ?
OK ... of course the game with the best odds ... here's an interesting setup in PA for tonight (Wed) and tomorrow (Thu). I have always thought the PA Match 6 (6/49) game was a good play for the $2.00 price, compared to the MM and PB. However, for sometime now the Match 6 game has been getting hit consistently at around $1 million, give or take ... but I have been buying tickets with every drawing ... usually extra tickets, as I did in May, June and July and even before, going back years.

Powerball changing in October to generate bigger jackpotsReply
The difference between the current PB jackpot odds and the odds for the JP coming in October are 116,977,828. That is one whole heck of a lot steeper odds than stated Pick 6 jackpot games. But the MUSL knows that they could offer odds only a real chooch would play but people will still play them.

Do You Play By Subscription?Reply
The odds of winning anything playing Megabucks doubler is 1 in 54 so at best a full year subscription ($104) has a only a 10% chance of breaking even. It looks like it might take a year for or more for the jackpot to even reach the 14 million to 1 odds. The $2500 second prize for matching 5 out of 6 is better than most but the odds against are 54,200 to 1. The odds playing MM are much better and we don't have to pay $100 upfront. Hopefully somebody will explain why playing Megabucks doubler b

Take5 NYReply
When I play the lottery, I usually play the lower odds games. When I play the high odds games, I usually am shooting for a second place prize because the odds are so much lower. Something tells me a lot of other players are doing the same thing. Right now I'm playing C4L because of the situation with the 42 having never been drawn. It affords me 18,542 to 1 odds to win $1,000 a week for life. When the 42 is eventually drawn, I'll go back to playing T5. G5

Can you pin-point just one digit, good for any position, two times out of three?Reply
Odds and probability has validity in a total normal distribution, take for example the simple flip of a coin The odds are 50/50, but for a short span data like H H T H T T H H H T H T T T H T H H H T, your best bet is non-parametric sampling which does not rely on probability of distribution, but rather inferential order of variables, you can do this by mere observation. I will rather pick H as my next three events rather than T, though the odds indicates 50/50. Interpretation /perception of Pro

Given a choice: Which Game would you like to see go away?Reply
I have issues with Georgia Five. Specifically, their payout scheme is a joke. Their top prize is $10,000 (odds: 1 in 100,000), but I can spend one dollar more, buy two Pick-4 tickets with the same number, win the same amount, but have much better odds (1 in 10,000). Furthermore, if you match the first four numbers, you win only $225 (odds: 1 in 5,556). I can go buy a Pick-3 ticket and win more than twice as much ($500) with much better odds (1 in 1000). The only thing stopping me from saying

MA Megabucks Doubler GameReply
Hey Crazy Wombat. Living in a neighboring state to MA I pick up tickets now and again when I'm down there, but have only done as well as a 3 of 6 a few times. This is a tough game when you look at the odds. Hitting the JP is about a 1 in 14 million proposition, and their lowest tier prize of $2 for hitting a 3 of 6 has 1 in 57 odds. In my opinion we have a much better draw game up here called Tri State Megabucks. Tickets for that game are also $2 per line, but it's a 5/41, 1/6 game so the JP odd

Wild Card Odds
You buy these tickets 2 lines for one dollar. You can't buy a 50 cent ticket, so I assume the odds are calculated for 2 lines? Every Wednesday and Saturday night we draw five numbers out of 33 and a Wild Card from a deck of 16 face cards using the Wild Card random number generator. I tried to paste the odds chart here but it wouldn't show up correctly. http://www.powerball.com/wildcard/wc_prizes.asp

Another how do I calculate these odds?
A scratcher has odds to win the following prizes. $5M - 1 in 6M $2M - 1 in 6M. What are the odds of winning a prize of at least 2M?
