Monoploy ohio $2Reply
It's funny that Virginia has this same ticket. Just came out last week. There are difference though. Ohio has more prizes and is set up a little different. Ohio's also has better overall odds. And Virginia does not have a second chance. Monoploy isn't the only one though. Seems a lot of states share scratchoffs. I just find it odd. Good luck to Ohio players. I've yet to breakeven on the Monoploy here in VA. I liked it much better as a $5 ticket.

Statistically Speaking - QP's and PP'sReply
I'll stand by original statement that IF a player wants to PURCHASE 46 MM tickets, they would have a mathematical advantage by choosing the 46 combo wheel over PURCHASING 46 QPs. That's true in the short term, but over a longer period the QP's will have the winning bonus numbers more than once to make up for the times it didn't have it and should eventually catch up so playing all 46 numbers every time will not be an advantage over time. However when you look at all 530 winning magaballs s

Ok, let's clear up the confusion. Pick10 is in NYC, Read my 1st post about it. Keno I've seen in AC and Vegas but never played it. Also, you get better odds at the OTB anyway. NSA = No Such Agency. However, I wear a tinfoil hat anyway just in case. NIST is full of spooks. They are bad. Randomness using any program written in C, C++, Java, etc. cannot be achieved as the computer's system clock is used. PS: OP = Original Poster.

You may have missed where I said over time I believe the 46 combo wheel could show a profit and where I said I'm not going to risk at the very least $44 playing MM to prove a point . The 70% to 80% QPs statistic is from purchased tickets, not from the top of my head so any real test to compare my 46 combos to your 46 QPs could only be actually purchasing the tickets. When I played the 46 combo wheel when the jackpot was $150 million, the order the 56 numbers were placed in the wheel was rando

Poll: Shared Jackpot PP/QPReply
Well, I figured that's what DD was saying. I just wanted to get clarification . LOL. I have said it before, and will say it again. Lotteries don't have to fix or cheat, the odds alone make it hard enough. As for making sure there are losers to make the jackpots higher, well, look at PB that just got hit Saturday night. It wasn't what I would call a high jackpot. I don't understand why someone would bother to play if they have that much distrust. Might as well go to a casino. As for QP v

What's with NY Sweet Million??Reply
jacal5, you got the secret, but you missed one little thing about it. It is true that purchasing multiple lottery tickets improve your chances of winning, but you also loose more in the short run. Lotteries can only be won in the short run, and one single quick pick ticket per drawing extend the short-term for as long as you want to in order to win. By the way, it does not matter how you purchase your lottery tickets, five lottery lines on a $5 quick pick is the same as 5 single quick pick lines

Is There Any Way To Predict Pick-5? Past Performance is "Gamblers Fallacy"Reply
Yes.. that's what I thought. But I thought.. gee... here is friend of mine who has a Masters Degree in Math.. if there is anybody who could help me narrow the odds.. this would be the guy ! ....lol (I buy him lots of beer.. it's the least he can do...) There should be a way to marry Math and Lotto.. but I'm not seeing it. I know the Pick 5 is a suckers bet.. I dont want their crappy free tickets and even if I hit 3 numbers I get, what.... $5? Whoopie... But like other posters here..

Statistically Speaking - QP's and PP'sReply
QP's are good in that they give the player a chance with a random set of numbers which could possibly be drawn in any order. PP's can actually be tailored around what's going on with the current draw, last draw, and so forth which ultimately gives the player much better odds of actually winning. QP's have a tendancy to be very lazy when it comes to providing quality sets of numbers, although, they do produce lucky winners every now and again. In terms of efficiency, PP's will always be muc

Why do people play QP's?Reply
People continue to play after the jackpot is hit and the number of QPs in those drawings is probably far less than 70%. As a systems player my goal was always to win the jackpot, but my play was designed to win enough from secondary prizes to cover the cost of play. My game of choice was Rolling Cash 5 where the jackpots started at $100,000. With the low end payoffs and the high overall odds of PB and MM, I never found a system that could cover the cost of play. Let me reiterate, the largest
