Lottery is not random it's predeterminedReply
Looks like you don't know all individual lotteries determine their definition of random for their drawings. Probably why some use live ball drawings and others use RNGs. midday Wisconsin the digit #5 hasn't been hit since January 6th What's the problem with reducing the odds from 1000 to 1 to 729 to 1? And considering the Wisconsin Lottery has a lottery report card grade of an F , what do expect?

Millionaire for Life multi-state lottery game to replace Cash4Life and Lucky for Life in FebruaryReply
I'll play every now and then. The odds of winning the top prize are not outrageous like PB/MM. There are no mandatory multipliers, like MM and Colorado's Lotto+.

would you rather win 1, 10, 50, 100, or 500 million $Reply
It's not a theory, it's a fact. That prize really is worth 2 cents. A good gambler considers the probability of winning something before deciding whether to bet. A bad gambler doesn't care. Would you bet $2 on a game that awards $6 million after tax but has odds of winning 1 in 53 billion? (match 8 of 86)

$1 million That's enough for me to live comfortably while continuing to work. Early retirement sounds boring unless it's a massive amount of money, and that brings problems. I bought tickets for the $2 billion (really $1 billion with the stupid 50% annuity haircut) for Powerball only because it was a player's advantage. It didn't work out because of the massive variance, which I was expecting. But it was fun to imagine what I would do with $600 million after tax. The starting jackpot

Once in a blue moon powerball X10Reply
The Powerplay add-on would be more popular if they didn't have that stupid rule that the x10 is not available when the jackpot exceeds $150 million. The multiplier doesn't apply to the jackpot. Why do they care if people get a x10 on lower prizes? It should also apply to the second prize of $1 million. The odds of hitting that are so low, the higher payouts on that would add a whopping 8 cents to the expected value of a $1 bet.

I'm done playing the lotteryReply
I rarely play draw games. The house edge is ridiculous and the odds of winning are absurd. Usually I play the scratch-off games, and I am particular about which ones. When a certain game is only available at that stupid vending machine that has made its way on my ban list, I'm left with nothing to play. Yesterday, before I started this thread, I went to the convenience store down the street and tried to buy the $3 ka-pow bingo. They had none. This idiotic state lottery makes way too many

Florida: 12/1 - 12/31/2025Reply
It's Florida - using different machines, different ball sets, running practice draws before final televised draw, etc. Just crazy. I have looked at it so many ways, so is it truly the odds or do pairs/numbers repeat? Last month as an example, Mid 17th-19th - 137, 013, 307 then eve 19th-22nd - 137, 314, 311, 237. So you have to wonder...same ball set? New ball set? These are the things that keep me up at night LOL. And just when you think you are on to something they throw you a curve ball. Here'

If the Atlanta Falcons can beat the LA Rams, surely I can beat the odds and hit a parlay. LOL! Parlay Play of the Day for Tuesday If 600 falls straight Day, consider parlaying on 466 straight night.
