An Expected Value of 0.65 is better than 0.50, but that's about all! Without a Time Machine, I could not help anyone minimize their losses in the PA Daily Number Game by telling them to buy 308 every day. Analogously, I suspect it's only with hindsight that you can find a 0.65 system or system parameters from 4000 possibilities. Do you believe that hypotheses tested and verified in a Pick3 game can be carried forward to Pick5 6 games? A popular purchase here in the Pick3 is a 50 / 50 ticket,

If All 80,000 Members of LP Dedicated to Systems for PB and Pick6 We will Win it EverydayReply
we would have to agree not to play certain combos. like 123456 234567 ,48 49 50 51 53 54 .. etc that still leaves alot of combos. also would have ot agree not to split the jackpot, is only way to not have winner drwn out in court for next 10 years. and again with 95k players and odds of 160mill plus thats $1600 a draw kind of gives you a inkling on how tough it really is to win the powerball over there.

$3 Million Dollar Monopoly - Florida, anyone having luck on this?Reply
I think they are holding back the larger winning $20 Monopoly scratchers. As many as I have purchased and lost there is no way they are distributing based off their advertised odds. I either get losing $20 Monopoly tickets or win $20-$30, but majority have been losers. I purchase 1-2 Monopoly, Billion Blockbuster and Gold Rush daily. Gold Rush and Billion Blockbuster I have better results with, but even they aren't bringing me anything over $100 for a win. I tried the $200k for life $20 scrat

Man wins Fla. Lottery jackpot for 7th timeReply
So he's playing 10 cards for $100 each time? Why mail the losing scratch-offs instead of submitting them online? Does that increase your chances? Most times I wheel numbers I end up with a set that's had a 4 of 5 win at some point. Then I think about the odds of those numbers coming in again, get discouraged and end buying a qp.

What's with NY Sweet Million??Reply
You should give Take5 a spin. I rarely play PB, MM or Lotto because the odds are so ridiculously long. Take5 is bad enough at 575,757 to 1, but I've won about 20 bucks on each of 14 different occasions since April of 2009 when I started playing it regularly. But you have to track or analyze the numbers to do that. As for winning Free Plays in Take5, I've lost count as to how many I've won, but it's well over 100. I usually play 3 bucks when I play, and I play 4 or 5 times a week. I'm not a hi

Statistically Speaking - QP's and PP'sReply
Hey, I am no fool, you won't ever hear me say that playing the lottery is a profitable venture. I spend $50 every Saturday (25 picks with PowerPlay) or $200 a month on only Powerball. No Pick 3, no Pick 4, no Pick 5, and definitely no scratchers just Powerball. I play the game with the worst odds because when you hit, you usually win big. Again I'm not anti QP, I just prefer SP.

I prefer playing things where the odds are in my favor And what would that be? Usually, in life, things that are in people's favor when applied to gambling don't pay that much. Just like favorites in dog racing.

Wrong again jimmy boy. You think that I am choosing numbers based on what has happened. If I pick 1 without reguard to anything I can expect to be correct about 1 in every ten selections. However If I select one in the same manner not to play than I will be correct in not playing it 90% of the time. Do the test for your self and test it. One cannot exist without the other and if the draw process is fair than the odds never change for any one selection. I will always have

TxLottery From The WayBack Machine, TxMillion Game.Reply
Hey Lantern, that's pretty cool. I don't remember that game. I moved to Tx in 1998, but I didn't start playing until 1999, and then only bought Lotto tics. I like Tx 2 Step, never miss a drawing. I do wish they would get rid of Cash 5 and replace it with a game like PA's Quinto. The payoff is better and the odds are better than Cash 5.
