I Have A Question For Pic 4 Players!!Reply
Thanks LB. I agree, 5 bucks won't do much to win. There's 10,000 combinations. Players need to have at least group of the best numbers to at least win one prize, in my opinion. I've been trying to only play 5 tickets here and there, and it is always hit or miss. I notice when I play $11+ worth, I catch a win. So, having a group of numbers improve your odds. It's just the right combinations one has to play to, win. Also, we have to factor in time investment, profits, etc. Thanks

lottery watching us?Reply
With JP games, no, but If they see someone make a working p-3 or p-4 system public, they may increase the matrix if the people who see the post make tons of money and break the lottery's bank. With the big games, they couldn't give two shmuckolas about systems on LP. I agree with RJOH when he regularly says (paraphrasing) that even with a JP winner who claims using a system, one has to wonder If luck was also involved since they haven't won another JP since. Makes sense to me. The odds

Powerball 100M+ PlanG ResultsReply
Looking at how this list did for mega millions: the numbers were all high (Above 43) and so +30 would be useful. That is the mega is up to 1-75 numbers now. MEGA 67 64 43 71 73 AND MB 04 The odds of mega million correct is about 1 in 250 million. Much harder than any other drawing. I showed 1/31 which is akin 71 and 34/4 akin 64, 43 was good for 43 and 73.......List was quite short of value. PSN of 13/43/73 and 13 was mode /strong, and 11/41/71 also came up clear. I also marked 4/34 from

Does anyone here know the history of the matrix changes for PB and MM?Reply
MR. THRIFTY, I play PB now since MM 'did its' thing' and went to 75 numbers. I'm really hoping for a 5 + 0 so the choice is 5 of 59 as opposed to 5 of 75. LottoMetro, Yeah, I'm intersted. Thanks again for the info. Amazing that the odds have increased by over 120,000,00 compared to the original game. Sure the prizes are a lot more but this is convincing me that those running the games are paraphrasing the line in Field of Dreams to, If you offer it they will play.

How Many Folks Gave Up On Powerball When It Went To $2?Reply
Hey there, Thrifty. At some point, if and when sales finally drop enough to make a real statement, they'll have to do something because it won't be cost effective operation-wise. Whether that means dropping a game or even a few, or, simply re-adjusting the numbers for better odds and payouts is beyond me. But, those are the only options for them. A $5 game better have a very nice payout for even matching one number in my opinion. This is much different than purchasing a $5 scratchoff ticket w

You Will Never Win A Lottery Jackpot In Your Lifetime.Reply
The lottery has a house edge on all lottery games regardless of the odds of winning. Getting over your problem is no simple task either. For a starter, just learn a bit about these lotteries. Only 50% of every dollar collected goes back to winning tickets. At a 50% payback rate, no other standard form of gambling on the planet comes even close to being as bad a bet as the lottery. It truly is a TAX on the poor and on the ignorant. I would add it's also a tax on addicts! I used to be tempte

PICK 3 A++ IGamble System(Advanced players)Reply
I am wondering why most of people are trying to hit straight numbers. Pick3 box is much easier and double win is really good. If you want to get more, just bet more. You can play with numbers in million ways and win in a short period of time, but on long term, you need a winning STRATEGY. You can do sum, pairs, even, odds, whatever you want, but for long term survival you need the most important things, when to play an how much.

How to determine the number of tickets remaining in a scratch off?Reply
You can calculate the approximate number of tickets remaining by taking the total number of all prizes remaining, multiplied by the overall odds of the game. But I see that PA does not publish all prizes remaining for every tier, like other states, only down to certain levels like $100/$250. So you can't get that count. But that method is flawed anyway, as prize tiers are not claimed evenly due to features of some games that make people throw away winners. A better method is to determin

How Much Money Do You Spend Playing the Lottery in a Week?Reply
Sounds like you are the one misunderstanding. For a player, it doesn't matter that the prospect of realizing the payoff is non-existent. If they are going to play in a negative situation, the most logical option other than not playing is playing in the least negative situation. Hence playing during higher payoff situations. I could also go into the maths of expectation values and variances and such, but I won't bore you with that. As far as being happy winning $30 million, sure I would.

CA Lottery - California Love - CA Lottery ScratchersReply
I do not play any form of $1 and $2 scratchers at all where the returns of those games are 57% and 62% respectively, its still better than the daily draw games where the prizes are pari-mutuel from 50 cents out of every dollar played. Odds are pretty high at 1 in 6 million for a top prize for each $1/$2 LFL game, so they are like lotto tickets to me like since it can pay out better than Fantasy 5 (1 in 575757), Daily Derby (1 in 1320000), and sometimes 5 out of 5 prize Powerball (1 in 5.15 Mi
