CA Lottery - California Love - CA Lottery ScratchersReply
I dunno, I don't get it either. I don't like extended play games in general, like crossword and bingo. I guess people like them because it stretches their dollar (or $3 or $5) and makes it last longer. But yeah, odds and payouts suffer. Well, suffer for players, but more lucrative for the lottery. I'm the opposite, I want the game quicker. Like Silver 7's you can with one quick swipe easily determine a winner. Wish they had a $10 game with a quick symbol match that you can swipe all in 1 l

The GRT $500 winners seem to be hot at the moment... The remaining prizes for the two top prizes in GRT are exactly in sync with the odds: 4 of 16 $3,000,000 prizes left (25% left) 10 of 40 $500,000 prizes left (25% left)

New All States $3.00 Gurantee Pick 4 For Double &Consecutive NumbersReply
I was kind of thinking the same thing .... taking into account all the pairs, .. boss pairs, doubles, consecutives etc... the results you posted are to be expected especially when looking over all states results.... but what determines if one actually gets to ride the money train, is predicting and playing the right ones .... in the right state .... and even showing draw history to show examples of how to predict, it doesnt take into account how many times it may not work.... because we are only

How To Predict Future Lottery ResultsReply
I've been thinking about these types of games ,in the back of my mind, for a while now. That is, games involving 5 or more numbers. I've even studied the Quick Draw to a good extent. Of course, the nature of these games is different than what I usually focus on. Anyway, there's a certain code I use for the Pick 3 game which can ,also, be used for the Pick 4 as well. This is not surprising since these two games are ,basically, the same. This code enables me to know both when and what to pla

Str88 with only 81 picks in 12 daysReply
My picks are not based on historical draws but rather simulations of the pool(0-9), the parameter is RECURRENT(you can say regression) with Frequentist approach. Predictions is dependent on moment of the cycle, so if the data show the digit 4, then 4 is included.In random setting(lottery is random), stats parameters are just guide lines,translating these parameters(range, mostly in percentiles) into discrete values is a task.I envision a system where all statistical parameters are innate, no mor

Mega Millions or Powerball?Reply
MM or PB? Neither Since the rules changed for both games, the odds/payouts are no longer worth playing more than 2 or 3 lines...

Question for doubles players
I am not nearly as proficient with doubles as singles and I would like to understand more. I have a general rule that if I don't see a non-double in two years or longer that I will strongly consider playing it. However, with doubles I'm having a hard time narrowing down a better time frame. I know that the odds will tell you that a double has just as much a chance as a single of appearing (1/1000), but I have a hard time with that one since doubles only come in approx. 27% of the time. Any ideas

I have the best chance of winning the MegaReply
If I had $1,200 I would not spend it on one draw. I don't care what the odds say. When you select numbers for a draw, there will be days were you are on or close..and days where you are totally wrong. At the most, I would spend $100 per draw. If we are talking quick picks, I would apply a different strategy.

Something seems fishy to me!Reply
Good point. Some people might mistakenly think, Oh gee, CA and NY have more winners, I need to move there to have a better chance! Uhhh...nope. No matter where you go, no matter what demographic you are, the odds are the same. Wherever you go, there you are. This is not quite the same, but almost as bad as, Oh gee, the Jackpot is really big and I have a better ROI if I play now! Uhhh...nope. Your chances of winning are still slim to none regarless of the ginormous jackpot, and you can only e
