Great wins. What I don't understand is how there are so many 500 winners nets around there. In the Lucky times 20 game that I play here there are 306690 tickets printed. 53 top prizes of 20k. 10 prizes of 1k. 275 prizes of 500 dollars. And 3000 prizes of 200. The rest are 100 50 25 20. Odds are 1out of 3.89. About. 7-8 winning tickets per book. From all the books I've seen and that's over 50-75 it's usually a payout of 290-350. I've seen a 190 payout first hand unfortunately. Usually only 1

Does anybody else cross state lines to play the same numbers w/ different games?Reply
By the way, Ohio Classic Lotto is at $16.3M. OCL has gone as long as almost 2 years without a winner and reached $50.0M. If it paid more than $2 for a match 3, I might play it more often. Right now the odds of winning a couple of bucks are better playing MegaMillions. I certainly wouldn't drive over a state line to play it, it's bad enough having to drive to town to play it. I still play it once in a while when I feel lucky. I matched 5of6 for $1500 back in 2002 with Super Lotto which had

Whats the most youve spent for one draw date?Reply
I appreciate your opinion, but it's not the farm , and I do not agree with the idea that playing the same amount of money over more draws will yield better, or even equal results. Of course it will ... sometimes , but on average I think the best way to go is to bet the farm . Spreading your bet money over many draws to me is just silly. Now, if I havent played the lottery in some time, as well as gave up some conveniences(as well as having a decent salary at work), then $1000 is no big dea

How many winning numbers do you usually get on your QPReply
That is not very good odds for you my friend. I get 3 numbers correct almost every time when I play $5 And 4 numbers correct after I take those numbers and wheel them. Explain to me how you can take a group of lottery number with 3 winning numbers, wheel them and end up with 4 winning numbers. That like saying you can double your money by folding it.

How many winning numbers do you usually get on your QPReply
You might think so Scientistman, but I have used a RNG and pulled as many as 27 numbers out before getting one from a current drawing. When I buy 100 QPs I get 3 out of 5 on one ticket, sometimes two and sometimes none. The average is one 3 of 5 per 100 tickets. Coincidentally, also the odds.

Do you get numbers from the previous drawing when you buy a single line Quick Pick for MM or PB?Reply
I bought a single line quick pick ticket for PB today and I got the 14-41 and 55 from the previous drawing. What are the odds that I will win a jackpot or a second prize with 3 numbers from the previous drawing. Man it really sucks. I get frustrated even when I get a single number. I do not see too many numbers from the previous drawing coming out in MM and PB. It is such a large field of numbers that it shouldn't happen. I bought a $5 ny lotto quick pick ticket yesterday, and I had

First position pick 3 lottery systemReply
You might get one digit right every ten drawings average. In case you loose 50% of your bet due to the payout. 100 USD / game * 10 - 500 USD = loss of 500 USD! Odds: 1:10 for one digit. If you pick a bad system you will lose more than 50%.

My advice exactly. Losing all the time again. I think my good streak was lucky and the games have not changed one bit. Also played in Delaware a few days ago, looking to get out of PA. 5 $2 Jumbo Bucks produced $12. 2 different $5 tickets produced $10. A $10 ticket lost, but that outing wasn't bad. In PA, got 12 Spot Some Cash with ONE winner of $5. Took 8 tickets to get the win. Either the odds are wrong, or they are misleading/skewed. Probably the second, but I don't trust them. It is ba

Considering the discussions about where jackpots are won...Reply
The charts at lotto report show the ticket sales in each state and the Powerplay sales. The sales in the Virgin Islands were $34,868 and $10,628 and I'm assuming that means 17,434 tickets were sold and 10,628 of them used Powerplay. Virginia sold 1,039,642 tickets and 117,631 used Powerplay so it looks like a much larger percentage of players in the Virgin Island bought the $3 ticket (61% to 11%). The ratio of winning tickets to ticket sold is 1 out of 40 and less than the overall odds of 1 i
