Illinois Lottery adds new feature to numbers gamesReply
Playing IL Pick 3/4 plus Fireball actually gives higher payout that standard pick 3/4. With Pick 4 plus Fireball, it pays out 58.3% for Straight and 56% for Box. That's higher than the standard Pick 4 payout of 50% for straight and 48% for box. The Pick 4 Fireball ratio means it comes out 1 in 3 draws. So far there have been 3 Fireballs in 8 draws, that's a little better than expected, but the results will vary over time. The extra blank balls are required to offset the extra chances to wi

PB\MM number set questionReply
Sure every so often we may become curious an start to question if Lotto, MM or PB is rigged. I have many times. Probably when another situation arises will wonder again. I have only been playing a little over a year both here an US. With in that time, we had some things happen. Like huge jackpots for instance. It was easily demonstratd that when we, people, see more money up for grabbs we will fork over more and those who would not touch it will buy a few. Even the lottery giving away tha

7 state lotteries join forces for multi-state raffleReply
So how will the draws be conducted? That's an interesting question because if the lotteries sell their tickets like RJ suggested, the same ticket number could win in all seven states. Without knowing how many tickets each state lottery will sell, they can't assign 000001 to 500000 for one state and 500001 to 1000000 for the next state especially if one or two states don't sell all their allotted tickets. If there's no $1 million winner drawn from a participating state, there will be a $5

Getting fed up of the lottery a little.Reply
You sounded like me for the past couple years, haha. I played here and there, never really won anything and just kept giving up. Then something hit me one day, I thought to myself, I'm not ALWAYS going to win at the lottery and for the most part, I'm going to lose. Hell it's written in the odds for each game. I came to grips with that, smiled and said, You know what? I'm gonna play for the fun of it and if I do win, I'm gonna be greatful and Ima keep playing , and guess what... I started winning

Odds of winning.Reply
Yes, you're correct. Those are two different scenarios. Flipping the same coin over and over again is one thing, throwing a bunch of coins in the air is totally something else. Rarely will you toss (5) coins in the air and have them show one side when they land. In fact, a news reporter years ago was talking about the high odds of hitting a JP by using that same analogy, but on a larger scale. He said in order to hit a 53 number JP lottery, it would be equivalent to throwing 26 quarters in

And above, you don't win, you loose if you don't beat the odds double or better. Is there a lottery rule in tiny print on the back of the ticket that says a player must keep on wagering after collecting $500 for every $1 they bet? Jimmy had 9,999 imaginary friends and an Uncle who bet five $1 QPs in every drawing for five years and some of them still bet $5 to win $500 when they were out over $1000. I don't know how he forced them to do, but he said he did. Some players may always wi

Georgia: 8/1 - 8/31/2013Reply
Brighteyes ? Who knows ? That's the deal...... who knows. That was the whole idea for today's all even hit being so not due . It was so due tonight and maybe all odd too ...but hit midday instead. All even was supposed to hit EVE .........and it was not anywhere due Midday. The digit 9 and 7 are very due at night .....so they will hit Midday. LOL So.....we have to choose what check out line to stand in .......and stick with that I guess. I'm stickin' with the All ODDS

Ga Lottery switched machines from Eve to Midday today. LOL The ALL EVEN and the ALL ODDS are very due at NIGHT......of course. At night the all evens that are supposed to hit about every 16 draws.......and the all odd the same. They have not hit in 47 days and 27 days respectively. Forgetting all of that ........Anything with digit 9 .....and digit 7 are the biggest players in the top 10 due pairs. Go figure....... So, with these things in mind......... choose yo

NC Tickets PrintedReply
That's how I thought it may work too... but I wasn't sure about that We have a $20 game here were there are 3 top prizes with 1 in 7,000,000 odds, so... 21,000,000 tickets printed. Another $5 game with 12 top prizes with 1 in 4,050,000...that's 48,600,000 tickets... that's crazy! So if that is right, along with my math ... the total revenue alone (less payouts) for just those two games is $663 Million dollars- There's about 12-13 million residents in our state... safe to say all of
