Should illegal immigrants be able to claim lottery prizes?Reply
The other day I matched 3+1 with a PowerBall ticket. I took it in, the clerk checked it and said WOW and gave me $100 and my ticket back. No ID requested or needed. The only time I have ever needed ID to collect my lottery winnings was when I won $1500 and had to collect it from a bank after my ticket was verify by a local retailer. The bank needed my ID to verify information for the state to sent me a W-G form. The only time an illegal immigrant is going to be checked before getting his pri

Why do they have to go running these winners down all the time? I'll too just extend a cheerful and wistful: Congratulations! Gee, I wish it was me, now I'm going to do the same thing that they did and win too soon! I'm saying it with conviction, I'm looking to win the jackpot with my lottery ticket tonight! Still, I'm looking forward to watching the

What's with NY Sweet Million??Reply
This is the secret. According to the ny lottery, there is not a lot of jackpots winners for sweet million because the pool of players playing the game is too small. Therefore a small number of the total combinations is being purchased. No wonder mega millions and powerball produce more winners regardless of the hard odds to win. In other words , all you have to do is play mega millions, powerball,take 5 with $1 quick pick to win big at the expense of those players that play for a lot of money. T

Funny: You Could Make: $540 Million dollars from MegaMillions each year if you knew the bonus ballReply
If you KNEW what was going to be the bonus ball drawing after drawing, and assuming a 3/5 is easy to get........ The problem is getting a 3/5 isn't easy, the odds of getting 3/5of5 in a pool of 56 numbers are: 1:300. There are 32,509 combinations of 3's in a pool of 59 number and 10 or them are in every combinations of 5 which mean you might have to cover 300 combinations of five before you had one of those ten 3/5of5. Assuming you played 300 line all with the winning bonus numbers and one

Regarding Lottery pools: What if you do this??Increase your Chances of WinningReply
I run a pool with my coworkers. We have 13 people in it and on payday(every other Friday), we each contribute $4. What I do is buy an assortment of multidraw Powerball and Lotto tickets that cover the next 4 drawings. If we win anything, we usually put it towards more Powerball or Lotto tickets. Both times when Louisiana had it's Millionaire Raffle game, I took a vote of the membership in regard to if we should keep buying more Powerball/Lotto or a Millionaire Raffle ticket and both times, the m

Regarding Lottery pools: What if you do this??Increase your Chances of WinningReply
With overall odds of 1 in 40 of winning anything playing PB or MM you don't have a reasonable chance of winning something by playing lesser amounts. If you can get into pool with 7 other players each contributing $5 you'll give yourself a better chance. The problem is your share is only 1/8 of the winnings. I played in a pool with 29 other players for quite a while and we all lost money; just not as much as playing alone. If you do play alone and the game has overall odds of 1 in 40, don't ge

We should form a Lottery PoolReply
if you read mych of this forum you will see that most people suggest not going into a pool arangement. too many complications and if the big one is hit, too much chance someone will sue and you will have months if not years of waiting to get your hands on the cash. there is only 1 person you can trust with your lotto winnings and thats yourself. think seriously before you go into a pool with associates or workmates, and dont even think about it with strangers.

Lottery pools are the result of simply more numbers being played by more people...that's it. If you'll take one person that spends the same amount of money, they have just as much of a chance of winning as several people in a pool. Difference is that in a loss, the pool loses LESS money than the SINGLE person that spends the same money, okay. Pools are designed to play MORE for LESS...INDIVIDUALLY for a TOTAL amount. Due to the total number count, the increase in chances of winning is actuall

Oklahoma: 5/5 - 5/31/10Reply
Cliff, I have some wheels and, of course. there are wheels on LP for the premium accounts, but like you pointed out, it can be pretty expensive. You can filter the wheels, but usually that's how I end up tossing out the numbers that are in the draw. I've only been playing the lottery for two or three months and in that time I've won the sum total of $94! As they say...don't quit your day job. lol I figured the pick3 would be easier to guess than the cash 5 or the Jackpot games although I usually
