Has Gail Howard done it again?Reply
Skepticism is doubt, but as I implied, there are a number of academia disproving without doubt that her methods are bunk. I personally do not believe they will make your play any worse than random chance; in fact, they offer fun ways of choosing numbers. I certainly would not pay for them, though. The odds are 1 in 15,464 so IMO, the only reason not to play Pick 4 instead would be due to other prizes. How many people play small skips but don't win? That's the problem with systems and selec

Connecticut Lottery launches 5 Card CashReply
Considering the terminal doesn't make a sound with an 'instant win' ticket,I can only imagine how many older people will fall prey to shifty clerks. If you watch the '5card cash' video on the CT lottery website,the terminal only announces a winner after the recipient hands the ticket back to the clerk. Outside of that and the usual pumping a bunch of 2 dollar winners in a game to keep the odds of winning low isn't what players have in mind.I hope this flops IMHO.

Have you ever been acused of cheating by a store clerk?
I consistantly win 3 spot keno with a $10.00 bet for a payout of $470.00. Of course I lose alot, but I turn it around and win again. Everyday I turn in my ticket to collect and the clerk is happy for me. But today she said that she should have been keeping my old tickets cause somethings up with this. I aways tell her it's good odds at 1-72 and she should get a few. Kinda weird, just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them.

Is my math off? I was calculating the payback % for the new $10 LL game came up with 86.9%. This is higher than any other scratcher game (Old LFL 5MJP are 2nd @ 78%). Tier 1 prize odds are still too high, IMO, but the payback looks a lot better than any other game. Anyone else notice this?

NY Sweet MillionsReply
2 5 20 22 24 33 Look at that! The 2 finally showed. I had it on only one line along with the 5 and that's where it all ended. No three baggers for me tonite. Two longshots tonite and one repeater. That 33 is on fire this year... drawn 10 times already (half way to 20) and 2014 is one third gone. Have to think the 33 is an odds on favorite to hit at least 20 times this year.

Join the club beachbunny13. For every winning day, I avg 5 losing days. And the losing day amounts are usually greater than the winning day amounts. Playing for the big ticket W against long odds, this is the norm. 96% of the time, this has been my relationship with CAlottery.

We get it now. They're just ahead of the times. They are using Common Core to calculate these Odds. Our take on it is based on the ol' gubment standard: Say one thing, Do another.

Can't say if this is evidence for her methods.....college professors actually use her claims for student projects (exercise of disproving them). IMO $7,000 on OLA Keno is not really a jackpot. The odds are just a bit worse than Pick 4. It would be more impressive if it was 10-spot ($250,000). By the way, I wonder how he won $7,000? The seven spot only pays $5,000. So he must have won a couple other spots or something. If he was wheeling then this would make sense.
