Winning!Reply
Why don't people win the jackpot?! Maybe BECAUSE THE ODDS ARE SERIOUSLY AGAINST THEM and the whole thing is so random no one possibly choose a winner from a system or a hunch. The odds of winning Megamillions are 1 in 135 million. Just for fun, pick a mega ball number and do the quick pick generator here. The odds of getting the number are just 1 in 52. How many tickets did you have crank out before you got one that matched your mega ball? 10 or 20? If that's too easy, pick a mega ball and 1 o

When looking at MegaMillions 215 past drawings, I noticed that 80% of the numbers have hit 17 or more times and covered 85% of the 4 and 5 winning combinations and 68 of the last 100 drawings haven't included a number from the previous drawing. If I adjust the numbers pool accordingly, I would reduce it from 52 to 37 numbers making playing MegaMillions more like playing

Thief's 1000s of stolen lottery tickets nearly all losersReply
Too many thieves believe the odds of 1:5 of having a winner that printed on the back of those tickets. They don't relieve that most of those prizes are a free ticket. Some honest lottery players have questioned whether a free ticket is really a prize since its only value is another chance to lose. Many states have ruled that it is, so they can offer very good odds of winning a prize by printing more free tickets. In a roll of 10,000 tickets, there could no money prizes and with 2,000 free ti
