Lottery ticket in get-well card wins man $7 millionReply
This thread reminded me of when I was going back to school some years ago and money was tight and couldn't afford much in the way of Christmas presents. Depending upon how much I had to spend, I'd buy several runs of five tickets for my folks (figuring that within the odds on the tickets, at least one should be a winner.) My reasoning was what can you buy someone of that age that they'd enjoy and appreciate? Mom already had a lifetime's worth of knick-knacks and I would have had to had been a mi

Cash 4 Life Coming to PA. For current players in Other States, this is Bad!Reply
I'm a New York State resident and I rarely play Cash 4 Life. I'm not exactly sure when the game began here in NY, it might be six months old. I started to play it when it first came out, but the odds and 2 dollars per line soon turned me off. I didn't consider the fact that the game doesn't scale. It never occurred to me that as states were added it would not be a good thing. As for Lucky For Life, that game is not available here in New York, but it's available in nearby Connecticut. I ha

Lottery simulations are worthless, at best you get probability. Never said winning a jackpot was easy, the odds never change, the path can in ways some may find easier then another path. Like all the ways to cook an egg, in the end you have a cooked egg, some paths may be easier, some with more work involved may or may not end in a tastier egg, it's all relative. You can not apply the scientific method to lottery prediction because the answer is always different. Bob Lyons Mr.Z

How is this not a massive fraud by the Florida Lottery?Reply
When more tickets for a game are ordered, the number of prizes increases. In this case, the number has decreased! Never seen that before. Maybe there's some innocent explanation, but is still bizarre. To be clear, some press releases say there are a total of 4 prizes of $10 million, but the prizes remaining page says there is a total of 3 including already claimed. How and why did the total, again to be clear, including claimed, decrease from 4 to 3? Found an older press release dated March 9

The Retail Product Plan for April has not been posted on the website so we do not know the odds, DGinElMonte has posted a picture shot for us in the past for an upcoming game. 10X $2 has been around for a long time 20X $5 has been around for a few years The 50X $10 is new this time around. I suppose people will eventually want to see 100X for $20 games like they have in Florida (except its $25 denomination). I will also compare the returns of the 2014 game Emerald 7's with this 2015

The closest we ever got was 4 numbers, not very good odds. Every tick has been saved in old shoe boxes. Our ticket man always buys from the same 7-11 up in Northern Ca. I think the most we ever bought at 1 time was $1100. The guy at the counter was shaking his head, because the machine took about 10 minutes to print them all out. At one time we were up to 15 people, each person dropping $200 per month, but we lowered it down to $100 per person. We are fairly steady with the same 7-8

Missouri: 3/1 - 3/31/2015Reply
Are my eyes deceiving me or have we only had 2 series drawn mid-day in 2015? Both of them 809 in the first half of January. If this is the case we can expect a couple of series within a short period of time. Remember that te odds of a series are 60/1000 - 6% - or roughly 1/16 draws. It's been 58 mid-day draws. I'm therefore covering all series combos as well as my sum 14 plays. Also covering MzD's 62X pair especially the 628 as well as DA's v243 plays. Cover LadyC's odd doubles (933, 79

When they first displayed the results I knew you didn't have it but then when the new results came in, I thought, hmmm, those sound kind of familiar, let's see, could EZ have it, at least boxed? 4821, 4829 - close but not quite 4287. Ughhh. Well, let's hope we get it right on for tonight's drawing. NJL - Another suspicious event that makes you pause and reflect on the true odds against us.... hmmm GL Tonight.

Georgia Lottery Scratch OffsReply
Played 4 of the new $3 Monopoly (#090-#087). I'm a sucker for $3 tickets that have decent odds. Only 1 winner on the last ticket, and it was $5. $3, $1, $1 matches which is a weird combo. I thought it would be a $6 winner once I revealed the first $3. I'll definitely try this again in the future because its a fun game. Lost a little less than $20 this month which is much better than I used to. I can deal with losing only $20 a month, if I lose at all. Hoping a $100+ winner is o
