Lotteries long for 'jackpot fever'Reply
The only thing I like about the astronomical odds, is that I take home a hefty prize; and will most likely enjoy it as the sole winner. I would rather that than splitting a $100,000 with 5 people. Low tier prizes do nothing for me, except lower the cost of playing. But I don't wait until the jackpot is $100 million before I play. Honestly I would not mind the $5 million in cash, or whatever it is; as it is about as anonymous as I will get. Especially after a record jackpot winner. People see

They could increase the price to $2 a ticket and cut the odds in half for all prizes. The Buy-In to Payout ratio would remain the same but people would win twice as often. The buy-in to payout ratio will remain exactly the same, while people will have to spend twice as much to win twice as often. Any player with a lick of sense will know that's not any different than buying tickets two at a time with the current setup. The only difference is that people won't have the option of buying a sin

Need help with Profitable SystemReply
I see....... You're just wheeling the odds and evens separately. Got it... And the doubles would not be good, obviously.... It's interesting because I could use this as an extra filtering method. I'm curious as to what percentage in any given moment leans towards an odd or even pattern. Leveraging comes to mind...

Pick three is the game. wheel odds = 1,3,5,7,9=10 combinations Wheel evens = 2,4,6,8,0,= 10 combinations If the doubles were higher that normal, it lowers the probability that the numbers generated by the wheels above would hit, cause they are all non doubles.

% of Population Which Play the Lottery?Reply
Because unlike us, most people know the odds are astronomical. There is a difference between 'playing the lottery', and 'playing the lottery'. Do you mean folks that study it, or play the same numbers (birthdays, etc.) and play at least one game every drawing, or do you mean someone that sticks 10 gallons of gas in their car, runs in and buys a pack of smokes and 'oh by the way' snags a quick-pick at the same time ?

Do you think they would make a new lottery movie...Reply
Maybe someone could make an episode of CBS NUMBERS in which the FBI are asked to investigate a person of interest who has won several lottery jackpots recently and they call on the mathematician to figure how it's being done. During the show they expose many of the math theories that might be used to improve ones odds of winning. Near the end the FBI figures out the drawings are a scam and the crooks doing it are also looking to bust this guy because he has hacked into their operations an

I think that people will become desensitized to any jackpot amount, over time. The odds are just about right for a multistate game. Let people play state games if they want an easier target. I do agree that it's too tough to win a prize. I say, reconstruct the matrix with fewer bonus balls. Increase lower tier payouts a bit. Maybe a 5/69 + 1/15? Or 5/55 + 2/10. They have 168m and 156m combinations, respectively. Give out $1, $2, $3, prizes for matching a bonus ball or two. If peopl

the proven lotto systemReply
Most lottery players even those who are losing don't want to wait 90 draws for a win even in a daily game. I don't play the pick3 or pick4 games but with the pick5 and jackpot games, I've been trying to develop a dynamic system that adjust with the most recent trends by having variables that are not only stabilized by the game long history but are also affected by its most recent history too. All trends come and go and and many repeat and it's those that I track and calculate the chanc

You guys are right on the money and that is evident with the interest that people have with the raffle drawings as of late. I mean these tickets are $20 most of the time and people have no problem buying 1 or more of those. They do think the players are ignorant to the odds and just see the money, but we are not. Most of us anyway
