Why is the Ohio Classic Lotto so difficult to win?Reply
My personal belief is with liquidity (not enough players per drawing) vs the odds of a winning ticket. Most drawings see an increase of 100k to 300k in prize poll. I do not know the formula used for ticket purchased to increase prize poll but let's say it's 5 to 1 for every 5 ticket solds will add $1 to the prize poll. 5x300k = 1.5 tickets sold for the drawing. If all are unique and non repeats then there are about 12 million that can be drawn that no one has. If we increase the ticket sells to

That $30 has to be the worse. I think the odds are worse than a $20 ticket. I NEVER win and have heard of 5-6 in a row lose. I agree with Matt. It was probably 4 years ago. Anyone I talk to at the store tends to agree too. The winners just aren't there anymore.. I think it was around the time of Casino Cash is when they went down hill. I had great luck on that game(my only 1K), but after that its been bad. $500 was the new $1000 and now $250/200 is the new $500(that is if you can even find a $25

Powerball Power Play Number Almost Always 2 ?Reply
I've never seen a lottery that had a number frequency matching its odds of appearance exactly. Randomness keeps this from happening. As such anything is game for the short run.....streaks, skips, whatever. There's only been 26 draws of Power Play and you already believe it's rigged/bogus/biased....despite me providing statistical evidence to the contrary. Honestly I don't think there have been enough draws to reach this conclusion. Last night Power Play number 5 came up. On an unrelated no

What's the farthest you have drove to play a lotto game?Reply
I live in mid Ohio not too far from the intersection of US 30 and US 23. Before PB and MM came to Ohio I would drive west on US 30 100 mi. to Indiana for PowerBall tickets and north 100 mi. on US 23 to Michigan for BigGame tickets. That was 10 years ago when I was a young and foolish 62 years old. Tomorrow is my birthday and happy to say I only have to drive .5 mi. to town to get some tickets for Classic Lotto($66M) and Rolling Cash5($745K) which have better odds than either PB or MM. Those t

Slightly surprised this happened since Baccarat is more of a coin flipping game where you bet on either player or banker (with 5% comissions), the payouts are even to the wager. Probably requires a high average bet on hand (each scratcher ticket is $5, $10, $20) or excessive wagers on the Dragon side bet can cause a loss of that much. Those games require a good streak in order to win significant money, then again anyone can go all in on a single hand too. Scratchers is more of a volitile game

Do you see yourself winning the lottery in your lifetime?Reply
LOL. Concerning the lottery, Looking for Neo means using imagination, intuition, logical intelligence and audacity within the Matrix of Consciousness. In other words, thinking Outside the Box(as well as within of course) in order to bend the odds , or to piggy-back on your inference, influence Chance . And to your answer your great question... Among the many theories about the Matrix ending, I subscribe to the one that says Neo died and yet still lives. Mr.Smith only has purpose if Neo liv

I will certainly buy some more for a couple more weeks or until anouther $5 game is released. Ussualy once 50% of the TP's are claimed i wont buy them. I bought anouther $100.00 of random tickets and got nothing other than a few free tickets. So the luck streak is over. Ended up spending $100 of my own cash and pocketed $500.00... not bad! Plan on holding off on buying any tickets until the new LFL series comes out. Plan on buying a couple of books (1 $10.00 and 1 $5.00) I have a feeling tho

I think it depends on the feeling you get. I rarely buy $10 tickets because the odds are better on $20 tickets. I have won $500 on a $10 ticket about 4 times and my only $1000 win was on a $10 ticket. In fact my first $500 win came on a $2 ticket. However, I have had several $500 wins and they are on $20 tickets. When I buy $10 tickets I typically buy one at a time and scratch them right there. On my $1000 win I bought 3 and the first 2 were losers. The other day I had a $200 win but it took me

Anyone who decides rather or not to play a game with odds of 1 in 258,890,850 based on a EV of .5 to .7 should play for fun. I agree. EV can be used in gambling to compare different games, bets, or similar games/bets at different venues. But I've said this before and will say it again, using EV on a draws of lottery jackpot game is just a foolish endeavor. The EV for MM/MP is .5 and any other number is garbage.(even .5 is somewhat garbage)
