CA Lottery - California Love - CA Lottery ScratchersReply
The new games are out today supposedly and the CALottery website has the pages back up. None of the games are anywhere near the favor to the player as education takes a good chunk of the revenue and CA is mainly pari-mutuel based, let alone scratchers. It is about how much money you could throw away without too much regret, yes I learned this the hard way myself. It requires blind luck to win a jackpot. $10 scratchers are easy to chase, but the prize they are chasing afer is so seldom as o

With odds of 1 in 686 (685.7 to be exact) of winning $500 there is 99.85% chances of losing. Playing 100 tickets, there is .9985 ^ 100 = .864 (86.4% chance you will not win the $500 prize) Playing 200 tickets, there is .9985 ^ 200 = .747 (74.7% chance you will not win the $500 prize) Playing 686 tickets, there is .9985 ^ 686 = .367 (36.7% chance you will not win the $500 prize) No need to chase, just buy a few at a time.

I don't like the buying books method at all. The ROI for the most part is always never going to matchup. You can get lucky but most books are designed as losers. It's just the luck of the draw. I run hot and cold. I may go 2-3 days and do no better than a Ticket and then all of the sudden, I win multiples. I am currently in a cold streak. Probably operating at a 50% ROI for the past week. It's just the way it goes sometimes. I am ready for a new $10 game to replace LFL. That one is just

LottteryPost players should start a LotteryPool?Reply
Upside Press Release: The latest PowerBall millionaires are from a 124 member Lottery Post lottery pool. The $405 million dollar jackpot will be split evenly between this group of lucky Lottery Winners... Downside Press Release: Last week's PowerBall winners, 124 members of the Lottery Post lottery pool, are being sued by 18 other participants in the Lottery Post Forums claiming they have a right to share in the millions won by the Lottery Post lottery pool. Nine people claimed

NY Sweet MillionsReply
Odds have a plus 10 bias in the last 10 drawings, (O35/E25) so I'm leaning towards a 2/4 odd/even split tomorrow night. Definitely looking for at least one repeater too. I decided to try tracking something new. (Actually I stole a page out of LB's playbook) I made a new Excel spreadsheet that tracks skips. After I was done making it, I immediately noticed that in the majority of drawings, four or five of the numbers drawn in any given drawing were typically from the last 9 drawings or fewe

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
I know what you mean. Even before FL released the new, absolutely terrible $20 Super Millions, it's been dead with people having a decent enough ticket to show for a good winner. After I had my 1 winning 100X ticket for $150, a few days later I bought 2 from some mom/pop liquor store that had like 6 rolls and almost every scratch off game. They were both losers. Then I went to Sweet Bay to get some tickets for my mom. Because they were on #000, I got the FF which I should know better. Any

Billion dollar March madnessReply
It's actually a bit higher, 2^63 or 9.2 quintillion (not quadrillion) to 1 odds for the $1 billion grand prize. 1:9,223,372,036,854,775,808 https://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/quickenloansbracket/challenge/?qls=BCG_B14BrBra.0000000099 mid=sVd3Du6Dp|pcrid|38567155548|pkw|quickenloans%20bracket|pmt|e|pdv|c|plid| Don't delay. There is a limit of 15 million entrants! I was signed up early and registered the first day. Selection starts after this weekend, expect it to fill up quickly.

How can I win a decent prize on PB or MM or State Game if I never get more than 1 or 2 numbers?Reply
Well, I reread my post and found that I didn't say anything about the lottery being my best friend. Didn't say they can do no wrong either. I'm just stating common sense facts. They can't scour thousands of tickets sold and make a ball machine draw the least sold set. Now, if the winning numbers were computer generated, I would be wary. But even then, it would be pretty hard for them to scour tickets from all the states that sell them. The tickets you bought were generated from a stand alo

Do you think this is real?Reply
Someone mentioned that Player bets 200 different five number lines all with every bonus number and with Powerplay so if that's true, it's a $21,000 bet each drawing. We can only guess at what type a system it is, but it sure looks like it's based on winning the jackpot and matching 4 + 1 was a bonus. Had they hit the fifth number, they would collect the jackpot plus 34 second prize winners. The $2 million second prize probably has a cap, but they can make lots of $21,000 bets and still make a ni

$309 MILLION: Mega Millions jackpot rolls into top 25Reply
I'll try to keep it simple and direct, so perhaps you'll get it. For the $400 million drawing players in California bought 11.2% of the tickets. If you don't understand that that means there was an 11.2% chance the winning ticket would be sold in Califonia then you're a moron. For the $60 million drawing players in California bought 9.4% of the tickets. If you don't understand that that means there was a 9.4% chance the winning ticket would be sold in Califonia then you're a moron. Incr
