North Carolina: 11/1 - 11/30/2009Reply
What other system has better odds? MINE.. ! I have 29 hits so far.. ! Let me restate this one more time...no single stationary list will ever be as accurate as an updated one because #'s fall in and out of the draw...plus the Skip Value is always changing as well as the Degree of Certainty..!

Have you ever won off of the Quick Picks here?Reply
On a pick 4/44 with ball game (1/22) we have down here called Mega Money, I hit 3 of 4 once on a qp...which means that qp I bought beat 1:889 odds. This happened last month towards the end of October, and the winning numbers were 13-14-20-23 MB 21. My qp had 13-14-20-22...and I don't remember what the ball was on the ticket. But that's right...if the last number the qp gave me had been one digit higher, I would have hit 4 of 4. Unfortunately I haven't had success like that with qps ever s

Would You Spend $20 On A Raffle Ticket?Reply
I always get at least one, usually more. Yeah, the odds suck but the fact of the matter is every time they do one of these there are multiple instant new millionaires. And there's something about becoming a millionaire on New Year's eve that I really like. It could be you this time, or it could be me. Hey, it could be both of us! Good luck.

Curious Observations and What They Could MeanReply
If a p3 drawing happens 6 days out of 7, the odds of any number NOT showing up 12 drawings in a row -- in a certain position -- are slightly over 28%, leaving just under 72% chance of it showing up. That means for any position you watch for 2 weeks, if you think of a number, there will be just over 72% chance it will show up in that position, during the watch. Even more likely to happen for everyday (7/7) drawings: 77%; slightly less likely to happen for 5 of 7 day drawings: 65%.

Only 109,999 chances I won't win a million? - Here's my $20! - Gimme a raffle ticket!Reply
They've finally sold over 50,000 tickets as of today, but if raffle sales are this bad down here, I wonder how they're doing elsewhere in the country. You have a 1:492 chance of winning anything at all with ours, and a 1:29,412 chance of winning at least $5,000 or more. When you look at it from a matter of fact perspective instead of focusing on the odds, you're hoping that your ticket will be one of the 2,034 winning tickets...out of the 1,000,000 tickets available. I can understand why peop

Idaho Lottery Commission approves Mega MillionsReply
One of the reasons, that I am excited about Mega Millions being added to my state, is because, it will be another ball-drawn game for us. Our pick 3, pick 5, Wild Card 2 and Hot Lotto are all computerized and I dislike it very much. Powerball is the only game at the moment, that is ball drawn. It's the only game, that I feel is fair to play. Even if the odds are huge. So now, that MM's is coming to our state, I will have two games to choose from that are ball-drawn and not computerized. You m

The reason I posted the list is to see how many hits would come from it in a month so think I'll keep it as it is. I do read your posts too which are very good thanks for all you do to help us with the statistics. Oh and I do play some that aren't on my list...they're not going to hit everyday but seems the odds have been good.

rdgrnr, Actually I would play it even if there were no lesser prizes becausethe odds would still be the same for the 3 millions and the lesserprizes wouldn't be life-altering anyway. Please don't give the lottery commisions any ideas!

I know how to create mass winners of Pick6/52 & PB Jackpots: Got to change the rules a littleReply
tiggs95, Maybe the Georgia lottery's website has some information on this. I'm sure in states that do let players mix their numbers and quick picks that the terminal reads how many numbers were selected and then looks for the amount of numbers it takes to complete the ticket. Since the technology is already there, it's too bad all states don't have this feature. I don't think it helps the players' odds one bit, but it would be fun.
