Which One is Worst Odds Lottery?Reply
There are odds against winning the jackpot and payoff odds so while both PB and MM have the worst odds against, they generally have the best jackpot payoff odds. Some players say raffles give the best odds of winning $1 million at 125,000 to 1, but the overall odds of winning any prize is 227 to 1. And because it's usually a $20 ticket, raffles have the worst odds.

Odds on Odds
Ok I came to the conclusion that the lottery isn't fixed.Instead I figured out how the balls avoid us most of the time to the lotterys advantage.Ok before every live drawing the lottery must have test runs correct?I don't see how they couldn't so this is a fact.In let's say they do test runs up until the match a winner that's in the system.lets say they do test runs until they match 2 winning drawings in the system.Now they are ready to go live after the 2 winning test run drawings.Now what's th

Buying More Tickets Does Not Increase Your Odds.Reply
The only way to increase or decrease the Odds of any lottery game is by changing the game matrix. The Odds are the equation of the game. Coin Toss understood my point Thrifty is right, each individual ticket (one line of numbers) is up against the very same odds, 175,000,000 to one. Yes you can increase your chances of winning by buying more tickets, but every single tickets will go against the Odds of the particular game. I feel that the following explains my point very well.

Lucky and unlucky Scratch-off ticket numbersReply
It only seems lucky for Holiday Gifts, but I got my second free ticket there, so I am hoping that this does not become the norm. I am 9 for 19 with this game at this store. I am watching not only the ticket number, but each pack individually. I wonder if someone else has figured out Jingle Jumbo Bucks, and that is why I am not winning. When I study the tickets, sometimes the cashier will ask what I am looking for, and I tell him the ticket number. He says it doesn't matter! What a crock! For

$330 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot nears record highReply
Please bear with me; I am going to post a lengthy description of odds calculations for multiple ticket purchases. Please follow the logic, and don't get frustrated. Some folks here are having a difficult time with the mathematics of odds calculations. My guess is that dealing with huge numbers is causing a problem for them. Maybe if we talk about small numbers, things will become clear. After all, the subject of mathematics works the same way no matter how big or small the numbers are.

Question for you math pros...Reply
What are the odds? We hear that word tossed around, Odds. Well, odds is defined as the ratio of success to failure. It's usually written as:probability of success : probability of failure This means if you place a bet on 1 combination in a 6/49 lottery with 13,983,816 combinations, your odds are:1 : 13,983,815 If you place a bet on 2 combinations in a 6/49 lottery, your odds are:2 : 13,983,814However, the lottery doesn't boast about that, they'd show the odds as:1 : 6,991,907Simply dividin

Does anyone use MDIEditor & Lotto WEReply
Hi,I've read a lot of his pages too. There are a few interesting things on saliu's site, but I'm seriously in doubt with some of his methods.The FFG formula on his site is in my opinion meaningless.His opinion on the odds are also weird. He states that when an dvent with classic probability let's say 1/5 occurs, the next draw the probability for the same dvent to occur is suddenly 1 / 5 *5 or 1 / 25. This is absolutely not correct.The classic probability of this dvent is always 1/5 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
