Will millions spoil Bunky Bartlett?Reply
Basically you're saying if you hit the jackpot, you would handle it differently; yeah you, me and the millions of other people that tore up losing tickets. I've always wondered why the people using their superior intellect to criticize the winner's action, don't use it to understand their odds of winning. When you handed the lottery clerk 2 bucks for 2 tickets, did you really believe you were going to win but when you lose it gives you the right to tell the winner how to spend your 2 bucks?

A dollar and a dream true for PB and MM?Reply
Hopefully, this will make it a little easier for them to understand: 1/4 4/16 As you can see, to express 4/16 as 1/x, in this case 1/4, you divide both the numerator and denominator by 4. 4/4 = 1, 16/4 = 4. This applies to fractions of ALL sizes. There is no point where fractions can no longer be used. Just because the odds for 1 ticket is 1 in 146,107,962, doesn't mean fractions don't apply. 5/146,107,962 = 1/29,221,592.4.

Are Lotteries Required to pay out 80% or more ?Reply
Most state lotteries have financial reports on their websites and some break down the win percentage for each game. In Ohio for the fiscal year of 2006, the online games payoff percentage was 49.4%, the payoffs for scratch-offs were 66.2%, and all games included was 59%. The odds in Pick-3 are 1000 to 1 and the payoffs are $500 for $1 so the payoff percentage on one bet would be slightly less than 50%. are lotteries required to pay out a certain percentage of what they take in There mig

146,107,512 tickets = 146,107,512 in 146,107,512 OR 1 in 1(<-Definitely obvious) *Correction! Not so obvious when you're buying more than 100 tickets *randomly. You are assuming there are no duplications and duplications among randomly picked numbers naturally occur. In pick3 some duplication can occur several times before some combinations come up even once. Duplications among randomly picked combinations have occurred after less than ~5% of the possible combinations have been picked acc

Put what ever spin you want on it: The fact still remains the odds of the game didn't change by purchasing more tickets. https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/86508/203595 https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/86508/204214

I understand that it's just math lingo, terminology, or mathematical semantics, but it's misleading. The huge number difference is what's misleading. For a layman to see the difference (or sudden change of odds) in numbers may lead them to scratch their heads, like I used to..lol Your last line in the quote above proves what I'm saying. A layman might think that if they bought a million QPs, they would have a 1 in 146 chance of hitting the JP.

Why is there not any dicussion or stratege about Keno here?Reply
The only way I have won anything in electronic Keno in Georgia was to wait until Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night. This is when the most players are playing. Watch it for a little while and see which way the numbers are falling, top or bottom, left versus right, etc. Usually the game is trying to avoid the big payoffs. Then sort of crowd the area the oppposite of the areas the number have been congregating in. Example: say you watch for a while and see it is hitting the top left for sever
