Powerball outmuscles Mega Millions in sales, jackpotsReply
Now that MegaMillions jackpot($166.0M/$101.6M) has an edge over PowerBall jackpot($20.0M/$9.7M), if PB continues to outsell MM then look for its matrix to change. A matrix change of 5/58 + 1/40 would increase its odds of winning the jackpot while lowering its overall odds of winning a prize more in line with PB, states would have to decide if they wanted to add the megaplier. PowerBall present matrix: MATCH ODDS 5/5+B 1 : 195249054 5/5+0 1 : 5138133 4/5+B 1 : 723145 4/5+0 1

Anyone play craps?Reply
When you bet don't pass , you simply continue to lay come bets on each roll, and then each time a new number is rolled (and your come bet is placed), you immediately lay a maximum odds bet on top of that, and in the same motion lay a new come bet. Continue doing that until you eventually have odds bets on each number (if all goes well, of course). It's not like you'll get a nice placement of odds bets on every number each time, but when it does happen -- and then when the roller hits a 7 on t

What if Powerball was created to Recruit Codebreakers or People experts in higher MathematicsReply
you know why i believe it could be true?? Because encryptions as well as studying stochaic processes and related fields are fields, RARELY STUDIED...RARELY, RARELY, RARELY studied/taken in college, suffice to say that you can not have a second job and study these fields, nor can you be of the lower class either and study these fields....The odds that you have to overcome to get to those 4th and 5th sometimes 8th level higher mathematics to understand these 2 fields....Again it will not surprise

What do i do.Reply
I'm not so sure. The odds are printed on the back of the tickets or you can check out that information on your lotterys website. Just because your spending ALOT more money on a ticket doesn't mean the odds just went in your favor. Even tickets that cost the same amount will have different odds.

Are we fooled to believe that there's a system?Reply
LUCKY PLAY and INTELLIGENT PLAY are the only ways too win luck works with players that use anniversary,birthday,ages and other important numbers in there life also those that just select numbers randomly from the playslip.When you hit this way it's called LUCK but when you have a strategy/system for selecting your numbers whether it's using software or number system of your own creation or purchased online then your using INTELLIGENT means of playing because your trying too target specific patte

Would you keep playing?Reply
I was born with a severe heart defect. I had to have two bypasses and one open heart before the age of three. What are the odds of someone being born with my heart defect? What are the odds of complete repair, needing no surgery whatsoever for the rest of my life? Both pretty great odds. Sometimes I think I got all my luck after birth, i won't ever win a JP. But it doesn't really stop me from playing

PerspectivesReply
That's quite true and is my view these days. If I buy 2 tickets in the national lottery which starts with 14,000,000 to 1 odds then most sources state that the odds are 7,000,000 to 1. But really there are 13,999,998 combinations that I haven't played. Depressing stuff though ey. Think I'm beginning to prefer scratch cards, at least with the older ones with outstanding high prizes, the chances are much better. Purely because so many have already been purchased so the odds those times do come

A question about lotto system oddsReply
Keep track of all your matches and the number of lines you play and you should be able to figure your real odds of winning a jackpot using you friend's system. Below is a chart showing the odds of a match normally expected in a 6/49 game. If your odds are really reduced to 1:17000 then you should beat those odds by 82258%. MATCH ODDS 6/6 1 : 13983816 5/6 1 : 54201 4/6 1 : 1032 3/6 1 : 57 2/6 1 : 8 1/6 1 : 2 __________________________ overall odds are 1 : 1.7

N.Y. Mega Millions lottery winners claim prizeReply
part of me wonders why I couldn't have hit in the past or if I can win in the future Maybe, just maybe, it has something to do with the odds. The odds don't care if you deserve it, if you need it, or if you're a good person. The odds only care how many chances you have for each game.
