If a nationwide game comes along....Reply
I oppose this idea strongly. I believe it would create fewer large jackpots, not more. In any case, the odds would become so long, that the probability of winning would be more effectively reduced. Also, the game would necessarily involve lots of periods during which there are no big jackpots. I prefer having two options, MM and PB, that are out of phase with respect to jackpot size. I note that the idea would be particularly bad for stores in border areas, such as the border area w

Why GA-KY-VA Lose for Life will flopReply
Also as I said many times before, annuity or cash, I could care less. As long as I am able to live better than I currently am now, and work is no longer a factor. Most cash options are not going to cut it, because the 'win for life' games are set up to be more easy to win, and with much lower odds. Save the cash options for the big games like powerball, and MM. No one loses with a lifetime of checks, only a loser who did not know how to utilize them, or blows it all. A conservative spender c

Do You Think You'll Win The Lottery?Reply
Here is how I look at it. Some people spend money almost weekly on going to movies, buying DVDs, golfing, or tickets to concerts or athletic events. I spend money on none of those. Some people spend 20 hours or more weekly watching TV. I might spend one hour a month. So if I want to spend five or ten bucks a week on lottery tickets and an hour now and then thinking what I'd do with all that money should I win, that's my form of entertainment. Do I really think I'll win? I know the od

Powerball to roll 2 faster !Reply
Quoting Powerball178: Here are the facts: Since lotteries began about 20 years ago, only about 350 people have won or shared the Jackpot for PB and MM. Let's see, there are 300 million Americans and probably 1/2 of them have played the lottery at some point. That means 150 million people in a pool of potential lottery winners. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES!!! The odds are so astronomical that it is a rather sure bet that NOBODY who frequents this website will ever win the lottery. I am no

Hey Chewie, Did that REALITY CHECK hit home for you? It's sad, but true... I see a bunch of misguided people in here (mostly the people who have over 100 posts) who actually believe they will win the lottery someday. I am not sure if it is an obsession, an addiction, a mental problem, or there is some kind of void in your life. Only you addicts can answer that. Here are the facts: Since lotteries began about 20 years ago, only about 350 people have won or shared the Jackpot for PB an

Tomorrow is the date they start the backwards payout for a straight bet. $100 on a $1 bet and $50 on a $.50 bet.....four digit is $1000. 123 comes up and you play 321 straight you win. So now you have odds of 1 in 500 on winning on your straight bet. Brad

Jackpots a JumpingReply
Advertisment maybe? I have noticed tons of powerball commercials on tv lately.Also powerball has been on the news alot about the feb 18 record jackpot.Also they are having the 10x power play promotion which will Double sales to 2 dollers per number picked for the people choosing power play. I wish power play was only $0.25 to $0.50.Paying double for a chance to win more in such a high odds game is a double loss situation to me.

Powerball (moneyball) or PowerplayReply
Millions? more are losers. There are at least twenty losers for every winner, if the winners are having a good draw! Some one is paying for the amount dished out, and it is NOT the state or the Lottery Director! They are making a H-U-G-E profit on 10X and Powerplay. From people who spend their money on it. The 10X and Powerplay only work when you win. How many have played 10X and how many have won? It is a gimmick to get YOU to spend more money, thus increasing the Lottery Directors Bonus

Betting strategies.. what is a good betReply
I bet one number in all states that I feel will hit. My opinion is the more states played the better the odds of hitting. I could care less where it hit. It is all in how much you want to invest in a number for the return. Draws are random.

The free ball is the 7th ball drawn by the lottery, not the 7th number on your ticket. http://www.winforlifegame.com/info/faqs.php The free ball increases your odds of winning a secondary prize, not a jackpot.
