Why does placing a large number of bets not guarantee the big prize of a lottery?Reply
If you bet pick 6 with around 18 numbers, and 5+1 of 6+1 are in it, the denser wheel will have the better payback ratio. Any error with a filter will lead to no or a small payback. That means that a good bet does better with more combinations bought. Richer poker players last longer. With bad payouts in the lower ranks only the richer player will survive with good bets. The same way, you will save money if you buy that flat instead of renting in. For that you already must have money.

Iowa couple misses deadline to cash $100,000 Powerball ticketReply
The bigger question for me is why do winning lottery tickets even expire? Will the world end if a win is claimed 2 years after the drawing instead of 1 year or less? I guess the easy answer is that greedy states hope some people won't claim on time so the money reverts to the state. The State of Arizona recently came after me for $13 in back taxes ($7 tax plus $6 interest penalty) allegedly owed for 2016. I wish I could have told them, Too late!! You only had 180 days to collect!! Turns out I

Somebody pointed out the error in my thinking about the Fireball thing. I totally forgot to take into account that a Fireball play doubles the cost of the ticket. So it comes out in the wash at the end. Plus, it doesn't make sense to chase a Fireball Pick 3 Trips play for an $1100 win since that is essentially the same as playing Pick 4 which pays $5000 instead of $1100 and only costs a dollar. What was I thinking? I still think they turned a simple, fun lottery game into a confusing nightmar

NC Cash 5Reply
I just looked at Cash 5. I cant believe its over 1 million again. It makes you realize how fleeting the jackpot really is. We never hear about how many people tried and failed to win. Just the all hype and promotion of winners on the NCEL website. But will we soldier on. I did two small wheels yesterday, in the one I power numbered 7 (because the skip of 13 was due) and I power numbered the other wheel with 25 (again for the skips due issue) then I cherry picked the panels where you had consecut

Besides, that's nowhere near what the Math said... somethin is amiss..and it's not the Math..nor operator error ..

But the question of the Century that still remains is...why am I the ONLY one having this problem? First answer that came to my mind is....... OPERATOR ERROR.
