Boy, talk about disappointment!Reply
I never play the Powerplay or Sizzler option. I figure why throw away an extra dollar on something that maxed out. If you win the jackpot.....the powerplay option is irrelevant. The jackpot doesn't get multiplied by 5. It only is beneficial if in Powerball if you hit 5 WB's., and in that case you get 1 million if you played the Powerplay option. If you don't hit all 5 WB's....then the Powerplay option benefit varies from drawing to drawing. I figure the extra dollar is better useful to play a

PowerballReply
thank you dr65, we try:) faced with incredible odds, call it a life game. winning powerball or mega ball is a transforming life event. numbers have no memory and no meaning, structure in games is created such that any attempt to construct a system is nullified. reason and logic are of no use, mathematics takes a back seat. the very act of record keeping has certain methaphysical touch. record of a past in order to imagine the future. have certain ideas that might erase this distinction (the p

NY Scratcher Tickets ($30, $20, $10, $5)Reply
the ny scratch offs plain old suck lately. i play all the time, i have for years. obviously, gambling is usually a losing proposition. having said that, i would often get my money back and or win a little. so it was fun and not bad. the last few months, ny tickets are just the worst. they just take your money, ticket after ticket. the odds cannot be true. you can stand there and buy 10 tickets in a row and get nothing. it was never that way before. the latest tickets they just released are th

Connecticut man sues friend for share of lottery prizeReply
It funny what people promise they going to do if they win, but when they do win its actually become another story. For real. I think people dream of so many big stuff as they playing the lottery, but I ask myself Will they do it if its become a reality I, myself kept dreaming that if I win the lottery I will buy sport car like Lamboghini, ferrari and mclaren. I think once you have the money, you will be cheap with it because one will not let it finish. It would be a nice thing to win the lottery

Interesting pattern for MMReply
The first thing I thought was that the numbrt looks like an interesting combination. Two seems about right with those odds. I think that is likely another fortune cookie number.

Florida Fantasy 5 PredictionsReply
Hello, The software that I created generates 100 lines of numbers. Here they are in lines of 9. The odds say that a random line of 9 will have match 5 of 5 among 9 once in 2992 draws. One of the following lines of 100 matched tonights drawing results of 10-13-16-31-35. Since I'm posting the lines of 9 after the fact we won't count it, so lets see how these lines of 100 perform for the next 6 draws. If we get hits then effectively the software has reduced odds from 1 in 2992 draws to 1 in 100.

Can you make good predictions without software?
I've had no luck on any of the number games so far. Not one dollar won (with the exception of small prizes on club keno). Basically, I used the free tips found on smartluck.com because I didn't want to buy a software online. I figure there must be a simple way to reduce your odds, giving you a better chance than just random guessing, but after 2 months of playing classic lotto 47, I haven't even won 5 bucks from matching 3 numbers. Now, I've read some of the systems on this site, but it al

Calculating a percentageReply
Not to get off topic but here goes...... I used to enter sweepstakes. For sending in one 3 by 5 piece of paper with my name, addy, phone number, etc. I won a 42 plasma TV with a surround sound DVD player and a check for 200 dollars. Yet everyone I know says that sweepstakes aren't real and nobody wins those. REALLY? So while several people try to convince you it's just luck.........keep doing what your doing! I'd be willing to bet they've never looked at past draws. Everyone I know buys QPs o

Cash option and taxesReply
Why do you feel the need to defend the state so much? An average joe who wouldn't even think about an annuity option and would need some clarification indicating so. And on the state site, if you look under the classic 47 part, you will see that it does say you have a choice between annuity and cash option, but it doesn't say exactly what the cash option would be. It just says that it's about half of the estimated annuity jackpot. But that's beside the point. It's bad enough that the o

Worst And Best Lottery Web SitesReply
Maybe but the Michigan website does not say how many tickets were printed for each scratch game and it does not tell you around how many are left. Eg 771898/2500000. That would be nice because you would know which games had the better odds for the prizes. It would also be nice if they told you The number of prizes left and the total number of prizes the game started with at each prize level. Eg Top prize 1/3 for 1 top prize left out of 3.
