Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
Nice wins! I thought that first one was a thousand because I saw the THN code. I played some tickets last night and did pretty poorly. I chased $10 Club Casino and bought 5 and the 5th won $15. Then I tried $20 Lucky Millionaire and got 3 consecutive losers (#1-3). I bought 1 more and won $25. I also got a $5 Cash Club that lost. During my lunchbreak I cashed the winners I had and got a $3 Bonus Crossword which won $5. Then I bought 1 $10 Club Casino (#19) and won $10. Then I tried my l

Lottery NumbersReply
When I used to have Gail Howard's old software,Advantage Plus,it used to tell you if same combinations showed up. It was surprising that some did repeat for my California games. Not sure if it includes MM and PB but I'm sure there's a way to find out somewhere. I wouldn't play repeated combos. The odds of that happening in MM and PB? Wow. I can see 5 of the numbers repeating but the chances of the Mega Ball being the same? Mmmmm,no. And you say 703 draws? That's about the size of a hangna

Do you get mad when others win the lottery?Reply
Good point. I never get mad. I just focus on the next draw. There is always another draw, another chance. Trust me...I want and need to win a jackpot. Especially with how work is going right now. I'm so sick of my job I can't stand it and I see no alternative. So, I look forward to every draw, but always remember the odds and it is a game.

NJ Pick 6 lottery drought ends as $20.1M jackpot wonReply
I think the lottery has made it very clear that playing lottery is entertainment, not a money-making scheme. If you have 100k to spend on entertainment over a 6-year span, then go for it, if that's what you like to do. To say it's a scam would indicate that they are cheating. But in fact they are not cheating -- especially in both Ohio and New Jersey, since both states use traditional lottery ball machines to generate the numbers. And they publish the odds of winning all over the place, so it

The new odds for Mega Millions have been a failure!Reply
The new odds for Mega Millions have been a failure. They promised higher jackpots more often. I actually thought we'd see $500M JPs more often. I don't even think we've had one since the matrix changes. Have we? There was a time I never skipped MM draws but now I do and I don't ever feel guilty. My budget is down to $4 a week for MM

Would you get discouraged if a State lottery game went months on end..Reply
Discouraged? No. Why would anyone be discouraged. If a person truly understands the odds of these games, then there is no reason to be discouraged. I play all the jackpot games because somebody is going to win sometime. I know it most likely won't be me. But if I don't throw a buck in there, I absolutely know it won't be me. If you get discouraged playing the big games, better stick to Pick 3. Or scratchers. Or just don't play.

New Florida Jackpot GameReply
So Mega Rip-off is now going to be named something else? Hey people, waste your money on this new spin. It still has unimaginable odds that one must tackle, but pay no mind, that's not really important. Facts keep getting in the way of my precious dreams. lol Maybe they'll call it Smegma Money.

NY Sweet MillionsReply
Down and Dirty shouldn't be annoyed with anyone. He has something in common with almost everyone that ever spent a buck on Sweet Million. He didn't win a million dollars! Yes, it certainly was the games fatal flaw. The design of the game was flat out BAD. I dont think The NY Lottery had their thinking caps on when they were discussing the game prior to introducing tickets for sale. Surely they did not give the lottery playing public enough credit to see past the fact that SM's jackpot odds we

New Florida Jackpot GameReply
I'd like to see an evenly divisble game size like 6/36 or 6/42 or 5/25 or 5/30. What are the odds of that? BobP
