Sometimes, the big dog's got to eat last.Texas is the largest state in the 11-member Mega Millions multistate lottery game, and it's the only one that hasn't had a jackpot winner.

If other states can have jackpot winners, we can too, said lottery director Reagan Greer.To be fair, Texas has been part of Mega Millions for just six months.

Any tips on scratch offsReply
It depends on the scratch of game as to whether or not to buy or play. Some scratch of games have lots of small high tear winning tickets. Some games who have $1000 top prize they might have twenty of these tickets floating around in your state. Whereas the high tier 5 and 10 dollar tickets might only have one or two top tier prizes with smaller prizes thrown in. Scratch or odds are misleading because there could be eight winners in a row and twenty losers in a row. Winning at these games is mo

Psychic predictions (I am getting resultsReply
We are already doing this, except instead of concentrating on a state, I am visualizing what I will be writing on my blank paper the following day when I check the results. Our group is trying to predict numbers for 1 draw when everyone is all over the place. Some as far as south america. Plus most states have many types of draws. I will be trying my luck with konane on the powerball though. Private message me for stuff like that. I would have to know the rules for a pick 4. Sounds like

Keep games Separate ..Midday&Eve.Reply
Here is a good example on the pro side of combining draws.Like I noted before, I do look over my shoulder at the other draw.

Are Lotteries RiggedReply
Jim thanks for you feedback..I read your statements and you pointed out some interesting facts. I am not being naive to anything however, it was just my own rationalizing (and notice I did say that I don't know about the daily pick3/4 games) that if the odds are already very very low for in regards to the 5 and 6 digit games then why a need to rig them? I play the hoosier lottery and ky lottery at times and my friends have made an argument to me about the possibility of them being rigged but I m

OhioSuperLotto...06/26/2004
There have been 411 drawings in OhioSuperLotto. Had I played these 23 lines during all those drawings, my odds of matching four would have been 1:2, however these numbers have never matched four and while they have matched three 139 times during that time, they have not matched three in the last 19 drawings. I'm thinking one of them is due match 4 or better tonight, so these are my picks for tonight drawing. If this works, I may use a similar logic to pick 52 lines for MegaMillions on Tuesday.

Are Computerized Lottery Drawings Truly Random?Reply
Do you find yourself asking, Did I miss something? If you're closer to forty then twenty, the world you live in is no longer the place you learned about in school. These days just about everything is a cheat. Nothing you see advertised, on the news, etc. is exactly what it seems to be. If you've ever been a witness or an expert on something being reported, so much is wrong you're rolling on the floor or screaming. At least in the U.S.S.R. people had the luxury of knowing what the governmen
