How many websites do you think I give free advertising too just by having BONER as my screenname? I tried to limit my opinion on free advertisement of specific gambling sites with the potential of involving illegal activities. I have no opinion on advertising competitor sites or any other site because this site has the option to edit parts of the posts pertaining to those site. If I was told not to post those types of links, I wouldn't argue why. It's a fine line on what's legal and what

Rollover probabilities for Powerball at $400M annuity.Reply
The expectation value as calculated includes values for all of the lower prizes, which amounts to about .18, as well as the weighted values calculated from the probabilities of numbers of winners based on projected sales, as calculated from a Poisson distribution assuming randomized tickets, as well as the advertised cash value and the odds of any particular ticket winning, which are of course constant. In this case, the chief contribution is a single winner, which adds 0.51 to my calculated exp

CA Lottery - California Love - CA Lottery ScratchersReply
No big winners here, unfortunately. But got a couple of small mid-tier wins on a couple bunches of $5 Win It All: (#6-9): 0, $30, 0, 0 (#74-77): $50, 0, 0, $15 - $50 was a 10X $5 Also, I did see the new $20 Scratcher sample out on display, called $5 Million Jackpot: I wonder if the $5M top prize will be annuitized like the $6.5M SFL top prize. In any case, they better improve the odds and payout over the $10 games, even for the cash value.

MM numbers looks odd again??Reply
Yup, there was an article in the Amarillo paper about it and they quoted some math prof. from a local college about the odds of it happening. I also remember another man from Texas playing one of the nationwide lotteries in New Mexico who got 6 or 7 QP and they were all the same number. I saw a photo of all the tickets, but still wondered if it *might* be some sort of hoax. If not, then there had to be something wrong w/ that lotto terminal, wouldn't you say? Both lines looked funny to me,

MM numbers looks odd again??Reply
I bought two QP tickets f/ this last MM drawing; here are the numbers: 41 43 54 55 56 01 03 05 09 12 13 12 Both lines were unusual but when I first looked at them, I thought they'd do as well as any others...and I was right, they did just as well as all the other losing tickets. It used to bother me when the mega-ball/powerball was the same as a number in the five, but I've won a few bucks recently with tickets like that. Not long after the Texas Lotto first started, a ma

Illinois Lottery adds new feature to numbers gamesReply
You could also compare with same cost of play: Regular Pick 3 Str at $1 wager, will have a hit 1 in 1000 plays, for $500 prize. 50% return. Pick 3 plus Fireball Str at 50c wager,($1 total) will have a hit 1 in 400 plays, for $250 prize, or $500 in 800 plays. 62.5% return. The My 3 is an interesting game with 3 chances to win: Str, Box or Pair. It doesn't have as good a payout at just 50.8% return. But with overall odds as low as 1 in 30, it's can provide more player satisfaction with sm

What are the current games you're playing?Reply
Powerball | Mega Millions when they get pretty big, probably be playing in 3 weeks if it keeps rolling I play the state's 4+1 when the jackpot is close to $1 million or better, so I will be playing the next draw State's pick 6 jackpots just aren't worth it anymore, so I try to avoid I used to play pick 3 every day but always missed numbers by 1 digit so got fed up and quit haha And I play scratch offs every few weeks, whichever games have the best odds (usually $10-$50)
